Abstract

Research is generally regarded as falling within the scholarship of discovery. However, here authors and editors also explore the application of the paradigms to the scholarships more broadly, including the application of the paradigms to the scholarships of integration, application, teaching, and engagement. We have closely linked the concept of scholarship to policy directions in universities and in other bodies and agencies that influence or govern them. We conclude that the range of paradigms and scholarships available to academics provides a rich array of possibilities for the creation of new understandings and new approaches to scholarly work. The challenge we pose, however, is to encourage academics to be bold enough to work in different paradigms and scholarships from those that are “traditionally” associated with specific disciplines. We also discuss forces that militate against academics daring to be different.
