Public scholarship

Public scholarship refers to diverse modes of creating and circulating knowledge for and with publics and communities.

Its goals include enriching research, creative activity, and public knowledge; enhancing curriculum, teaching and learning; preparing educated and engaged citizens; strengthening democratic values and civic responsibility; addressing and helping to solve critical social problems; and contributing to the public good (CCCE, 2020).
