Summary:

All those involved in evaluating faculty work and the concomitant faculty rewards system will find this a useful volume. Known for their thoughtful scholarship on this topic, the chapter authors bring their diverse perspectives to bear on Boyer's four domains: the scholarship of discovery, the scholarship of application, the scholarship of integration, and the scholarship of teaching. Individual scholars engage in each of these scholarships as their professional roles, career stages, and research goals change over time. Understanding the unique characteristics of the four domains, as well as how work in one domain connects with and influences work in another, will give readers a map of the broad territory of scholarly activity and recognizes the legitimacy of each different intellectual contribution.

Boyer's 1990 perspectives reshaped thinking about the dimensions of scholarship and the connections among them. Based on much scholarly discussion and studies over the years, the authors in this volume of New Directions for Institutional Research take stock of this literature and offer practical suggestions for the academic reward structure, graduate school preparation of future faculty, and state policy.
