摘要:In the Point of View column of the June 9 edition of The Chronicle of Higher Education, Cantor and
Lavine make a compelling case for ¡°Public Scholarship¡± and for seriously reevaluating the tenuretrack
rewards system that, for the most part, ignores creative work and public engagement. They call
for definitions of scholarship that are broadened to ¡°value public scholarship and engaged artistic creation
in the cultural disciplines¡± (Cantor and Lavine 2006:B20). All too often, they remind us, graduate
students and junior faculty are discouraged from participating in any activities that might detract from
the narrow-minded tenure track. If senior scholars are not rewarded for public engagement, what possible
incentives could there be for new faculty or graduates, in a climate of publish or perish?
