Engaging Campus and Community: The Practice of Public Scholarship in the State and Land-Grant University System

This book concerns the practice of public scholarship in the state and land-grant university system. It sees scholars as active, contributing participants in economic, social, cultural, and political affairs. The image of scholars as engaged citizens in the larger community emerged as an ideal in American higher education during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This concept has recently re-emerged as a key theme in the academic literature and holds promise of contributing to the larger tasks of renewing democracy.Scott J.
