<p><b>THE LANDMARK BOOK THAT REDEFINED THE ROLE OF ACADEMIC LEADERS</b> <p>When it was first published in 1990, Ernest L. Boyer's groundbreaking book <i>Scholarship Reconsidered: Priorities of the Professoriate</i> 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. <p>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. <p>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 <i>Scholarship Reconsidered</i> applies in today's world.
