As part of our special series on emergent scholarship, Dr. Bonnie Stewart of The University of Windsor (Canada) discussed her research of networked publics and the intersectionality between the activity of a scholar and the production and dissemination of scholarship. In this we discussed the difficulties for more traditional practitioners and accreditory bodies to engage the scholarship coming from these domains, in part because of the incongruence between historical models of scholarship production and emergent forms of communication and collaboration.

Bonnie's 2015 research highlighting Boyer as a framework for understanding the future of scholarship, In Abundance, looks at the distinctive of faculty as aggregators and purveyors of knowledge and how their engagement in learning publics is a foundation for emergent scholarship. Bonnie's 2017 work in The Digital Academic is a strong continuation of our conversation on the nature of scholarly publics.
