**Engaged scholarship** is the integration of education with community development. Ethical [participatory research](/source/Participatory_action_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.[1] 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."[2] 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.[3]

## 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.[4]

Engaged scholarship programs are emerging at a number of universities throughout the United States.[5][6][7]

A program at [UC Berkeley](/source/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.[8] 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](/source/Environmental_justice) work with academics that explore the impact that technical actors have on issues of [social justice](/source/Social_justice).[9]
