| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Since the mid-twentieth century, the professionalization of our disciplines has been a hallmark of higher education in general and the research university in particular.Despite the repeated calls over the past twenty-five years for a renewal of the civic mission of higher education, professionalization continues to hold tenacious sway and is largely understood to contradict the purposes and practices of public scholarship, which, in turn, is dismissed under the demoralizing rubric of service or the paternalistic rubric of outreach. |
