"As more faculty are including engagement in their scholarly work, questions about how to best evaluate the quality of engaged scholarship have come to the fore."
- Blanchard & Furco, Faculty Engaged Scholarship
If we are to take engaged scholarship seriously, we must develop a framework which determines how it can be determine standards and criteria under which it can be evauluated, especially for purposes like promotion and tenure. Blanchard & Furco (2021) present such a framework, under which engaged scholarship is divided into different categories and linked to foundational principles and desired outcomes.
