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
• Engaged Teacher Scholar Program

While participating in a scholarship community, faculty will:

• Form meaningful connections with colleagues;
• Have the opportunity to explore a topic of common concern, interest, or relevance; and
• Have the opportunity to apply what is learned to their scholarship.
