Christine Greenhow, Benjamin Gleason. Social scholarship: Reconsidering scholarly practices in the age of social media. British Journal of Educational Technology, 2014
This conceptual exploration inquires, what is scholarship reconsidered
in the age of social media? How ought we to conceptualize social scholarship—a
new set of practices being discussed in various disciplines? The paper
offers a critical examination of the practical and policy implications
of reconsidering scholarship in light of social media's affordances
toward a conceptualization of social scholarship. For each dimension of
Boyer's original framework, we explain its epistemologies and practices.
Next, we take a critical approach to inquiring how each dimension,
reconsidered through the lens of social scholarship values and social
media affordances, might be envisioned today. This exploration provides
concrete examples of how scholars might enact social scholarship with
what benefits and challenges.
