Scholarship Communities

Scholarship Communities

Scholarship Communities encompass a range of configurations and styles of engagement in which faculty empower faculty in extended dialog, inquiry, and discovery around a topic of common concern, interest, or relevance to the community participants. There are four types of Scholarship Faculty Communities with varying scope, scale, and intensity:

• Scholarly Writing Communities

• Faculty Interest Groups

• Madison Research Fellows

• Graduate Research Fellows

Scholarship Communities are designed for faculty to make progress toward the following outcomes:

• Explore a topic of common concern, interest, or relevance;
• Apply what is learned to some aspect of faculty life at JMU; and
• Collaboratively guide the group toward its intended goals.
