25. Imagining America: Artists and Scholars in Public Life
Public Scholarship refers to diverse modes of creating and circulating knowledge for and
with publics and communities.
It often involves mutually-beneficial partnerships between higher education and
organizations in the public and private sectors. Its goals include enriching research, creative
activity, and public knowledge; enhancing curriculum, teaching and learning; preparing educated
and engaged citizens; strengthening democratic values and civic responsibility; addressing and
helping to solve critical social problems; and contributing to the public good.

26. Imagining America: Artists and Scholars in Public Life
Public scholarship is defined as scholarly or creative activity that joins serious intellectual endeavor
with a commitment to public practice and public consequence. It includes:
• Scholarly and creative work jointly planned and carried out by university and community
partners;
• Intellectual work that produces a public good;
• Artistic, critical, and historical work that contributes to public debates;
• Efforts to expand the place of public scholarship in higher education, including the development
of new programs and research on the successes of such efforts.

The diverse institutional and historical characteristics of
universities, in combination with the unique aspects of each
socio-economic context, result in differing degrees of Third
Mission engagement even within the same university and the
same department.
Consequently, universities may need to tailor their functions,
strategies, and management, and even to prioritize some
specialisations.

To this end, human, physical and financial resources should be
increased and allocated more efficiently, even while
preserving the quality of teaching and research and avoiding
any overload upon university staff at the expense of student
activities.

Thus, future research could shift from focusing solely on
strong leadership stories, to micro-practices, so as to
actively engage more academics in Third Mission activities.
Further investigation could be conducted on existing policies
which assess and reward scholars and non-teaching
personnel who already contribute to the success of TM
initiatives.

Turning to the engagement of external stakeholders,
there are two main challenges:
Firstly, developing new forms and channels to
disseminate scientific outputs to non-academic
audiences and also understanding the potential of ICT to
promote effective dissemination.

Secondly, the gap between university and external
stake-holders could also benefit from research both
on new spaces and on patterns to enhance
collaboration and innovation.
Living Labs, in particular, deserve attention as they
offer real or virtual environments wherein to share
mutual interests and opportunities and to help bridge
the gap between university and society in general.

The crucial features of a moral dilemma are these: the
agent is required to do each of two (or more) actions; the
agent can do each of the actions; but the agent cannot do
both (or all) of the actions. The agent thus seems
condemned to moral failure; no matter what she does, she
will do something wrong (or fail to do something that she
ought to do).
41. Public Scholarship at Indiana University-Purdue University
An intellectually and methodologically rigorous endeavor that is
responsive to public audiences and public peer review. Public scholarship is
scholarly work that advances one or more academic disciplines by
emphasizing the co-production of knowledge with community stakeholders.
