Summary:The “new scholarship” set in motion by Boyer, Lynton, and the Kellogg Commission is a scholarship ofaction, a scholarship ofpracticethat takes place bothinandwiththe community. This scholarship of practice challenges higher education’s age-old accepted epistemologies and requires a new set of norms regarding what counts as legitimate knowledge and what methodologies are acceptable means of acquiring such knowledge (Schön, 1995). It is a scholarship that frees the academy from the confinement of its myopic, reductionist, patriarchal, and self-serving scope of intellectual inquiry by offering a more expansive, more egalitarian, and more socially utilitarian model
