Episode 01 – Martin Weller

The Past, Present & Future of Emergent Scholarship

As part of our special series on emergent scholarship, Dr. Martin Weller of The Open University (UK) discussed the movement of emergent forms of scholarship, notably the changes and obstacles he has noticed since 2011 publication of his book The Digital Scholar.

Our discussion focused on five main themes coming out of Martin’s work and how they relate to Ernest Boyer’s four domains of scholarship, as well as the manner in which education metaphors move educational conversation and policy for better and for worse.
