Beyond Boyer's scholarship reconsidered - Fundamental change in the university and the socioeconomic systems

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