Evidencing scholarship in all its forms

Time: 12-1pm

The intention of the workshop will be to share some insights into the nature of scholarship, based around Ernest Boyer’s scholarship model with the intention of generating discussion about what constitutes academic work, what is valued and what else might well be valued. Time will be provided to share ideas about how one goes about evidencing the quality and impact of one’s academic work.
