'''Engaged scholarship''' is the integration of education with community development. Ethical [[Participatory action research|participatory research]] in education is introduced to high school and undergraduate curricula to serve the mutual benefit of students, faculty, and the communities that surround and support academic institutions.<ref>Van de Ven, Andrew H. Engaged Scholarship: A Guide for Organizational and Social Research: A Guide for Organizational and Social Research. Oxford University Press, 2007.</ref> Engaged scholarship is a type of education, "that can be directly applied to social problems and issues faced by individuals, local communities, organizations, practitioners, and policymakers."<ref>Small, Stephen A., and Lynet Uttal. "Action‐oriented research: Strategies for engaged scholarship." Journal of Marriage and Family 67.4 (2005): 936-948.</ref> Engaged scholarship originates from the perceived disconnect between academic research and practical research and knowledge that can be meaningfully used to solve problems in communities.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Barge|first1=J.

==Engaged scholarship in practice==
Engaged scholars can use social media as boundary-spanning technologies for the networking, framing, investigating, disseminating, and assessing aspects of their research so as to leverage insights from non-academic stakeholders and bridge the research-practice gap.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=McCarthy |first1=Ian P. |last2=Bogers |first2=Marcel L.

Engaged scholarship programs are emerging at a number of universities throughout the United States.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.outreach.psu.edu/about/outreach-and-engaged-scholarship-awards/|title=Outreach Awards|website=Penn State Outreach|access-date=2021-10-11|archive-date=2021-04-11|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210411075721/https://www.outreach.psu.edu/about/outreach-and-engaged-scholarship-awards/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.jhsph.edu/offices-and-services/source/get-involved/community-engaged-scholarship/service-scholars-program.html |title=Offices and Services {{!}} Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health<!-- Bot generated title --> |access-date=2014-11-16 |archive-date=2014-11-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141129014938/http://www.jhsph.edu/offices-and-services/source/get-involved/community-engaged-scholarship/service-scholars-program.html |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.luc.edu/experiential/engaged_scholars.shtml |title=The Scholarship of Engagement: Center for Engaged Learning, Teaching, and Scholarship (CELTS): Loyola University Chicago<!-- Bot generated title --> |access-date=2014-11-16 |archive-date=2014-11-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141129030308/http://www.luc.edu/experiential/engaged_scholars.shtml |url-status=live }}</ref>
A program at [[UC Berkeley]] integrates curricula with community-based action for students to develop awareness of the social impact of the work they do in school and their intended profession.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://diversity.berkeley.edu/aces |title=American Cultures Engaged Scholarship (ACES) | Equity, Inclusion, and Diversity |access-date=2014-11-16 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141129054802/http://diversity.berkeley.edu/aces |archive-date=2014-11-29 |url-status=dead }}</ref> The American Cultures Engaged Scholarship initiative includes travel-to and work-with non-profit advocacy or action-based organizations to mobilize student power to help tackle social and environmental problems in the region. More specifically, a program for incoming engineering students integrates [[environmental justice]] work with academics that explore the impact that technical actors have on issues of [[social justice]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://engineering.berkeley.edu/student-life/student-leadership/engineering-scholars |title=Engineering Scholars | Berkeley Engineering |access-date=2014-11-16 |archive-date=2014-11-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141129054625/http://engineering.berkeley.edu/student-life/student-leadership/engineering-scholars |url-status=live }}</ref>
