THE LANDMARK BOOK THAT REDEFINED THE ROLE OF ACADEMIC LEADERS When it was first published in 1990, Ernest L. Boyer's groundbreaking book Scholarship Reconsidered: Priorities of the Professoriate challenged the publish-or-perish ethos that had dominated the academic landscape for generations. Boyer's persuasive and enduring argument for a new approach to faculty roles and rewards continues to resonate today and has become a part of the national conversation on scholarship in the academy. Though steeped in tradition, the role of faculty in the academic world has shifted significantly in recent decades. The number of the non-tenure-track class of professors has increased dramatically in recent years. If the historic rule of promotion and tenure is waning, what role can scholarship play in a fragmented, unbundled academy? Boyer calls for a broadened view of scholarship, audaciously refocusing its gaze from the tenure file and to a wider community. In addition to the original text, this newly revised and expanded edition includes contributions from leading figures in higher education, a critical introduction that explores the impact of Boyer's views, a call to action for applying Boyer's message to the changing nature of faculty work, and a discussion guide that offers an opportunity to start a new conversation about how Scholarship Reconsidered applies in today's world.
