ASA’s Shifting the Academic Ecology to Support Community-Engaged Scholarship in Tenure and Promotion in Sociology project establishes a framework that can be used to incorporate community-engaged scholarship into tenure and promotion processes. The elements in this Toolkit are designed for use by sociology departments, faculty, and tenure and promotion reviewers as they work to address the persistent disconnect between the reward structures in institutions of higher education and the aspiration to use our scholarly work to address real-world problems.
