BEYOND BOYERS SCHOLARSHIP RECONSIDERED - FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE IN THE UNIVERSITY AND THE SOCIOECONOMIC SYSTEMS

We argue that, despite well-intended efforts, Boyer's Scholarship Reco nsidered fails as an analysis of and recipe for change in the universi ty, because he ignores the broader socioeconomic context within which it functions. Using a systems approach, we offer a conceptual model fo r promoting real change in the university (and thus in scholarship) an d conclude with implications that employing our model might entail.
