Engaged Scholarship: Starting an Experience for your Class

This guide provides educators and students a curated list of resources to promote and support engaged scholarship experiences for students at Penn State campuses.

 

Penn State Libraries offers access to a wide range of books and journals that describe specific approaches for doing research with community partners. These approaches differ in epistemology, positionality, and pedagogy. Examples include scientific citizenship, phronetic research, public scholarship, engaged scholarship, academic advocacy, action research, outreach, citizen science, democratic professionalism, and service-learning.
