Abstract

The documentation of engaged scholarship is critical to aligning faculty work with promotion and tenure guidelines and meeting institutional goals. At a research university where the dossier for promotion and tenure needs to show clear evidence of contribution in the area of research, presenting and documenting
work in the community in a way that reflects teaching, research, and service may represent a challenge for faculty. This article presents findings from an analysis of documents and artifacts representing how faculty present their work to their institutional and disciplinary colleagues.
