Emily’s scholar-administrative work addresses multiple aspects of community engagement focused on community-university partnerships, and institutional culture and change strategies. In particular, she focuses on the recognition of community-engaged scholarship in reappointment, promotion and tenure policies; the role of conflict transformation in community-university partnerships; and tracking and measuring community engagement in institutions of higher education. She is an inductee of the Academy of Community Engagement Scholarship, a senior advisor to the director of the Carnegie Foundation's Community Engagement Elective Classification hosted by the American Council on Education, and co-inventor and author of CollaboratoryTM a publicly searchable database of community-engaged activities and partnerships used by over 50 institutions nationwide.
