The Journal of Scholarly Engagement showcases scholarship that addresses real-world challenges in education, professional practice, and community involvement. Guided by values of integrity, innovation, excellence, and global awareness, we publish work that transforms observation into engagement, fosters inclusive collaboration, and contributes to human flourishing in both local and global communities. 

Scope

Inspired by Boyer’s vision of applying faculty’s disciplinary knowledge to practical problem-solving, the Journal of Scholarly Engagement highlights scholarship that bridges theory and practice. The journal demonstrates how scholarship can improve lives, strengthen institutions, and benefit communities through education, professional practice, and engagement. 

We prioritize projects that address real-world challenges in educational, professional, and community contexts. Submissions should show how scholarship can be applied to create solutions, inform practice, and generate lasting benefits for individuals, organizations, and communities. 

We publish four types of manuscripts: 

  • Reflections 
  • Community Engagement 
  • Interdisciplinary Problem-Solving 
  • Empirical Studies 

JSE is published in June and November of each year. Submissions are accepted on a rolling basis.
