Fasenfest, David
Value, Exchange and The Social
Economy: Framework and Paradigm Shift in Urban Policy
David Fasenfest
March 1996
GCP-96-3
This article explores the effects of the dominant model on the research
agenda in urban policy analysis. It articulates and delineates the benefits,
shifting from an analysis of a market to a social economy framework.
The author develops the argument in two stages: the nature and scope
of the market paradigm, and a perspective on the need for an intellectually
consistent alternative framework.
Feldman, Ann
Engaged Scholarship
at the University
Ann Feldman
Associate Professor, Department of English
Director of First Year
Writing Program
February 2007
GCP-07-04
The complex relationship between the university and the city provides
the context for this chapter, which explores not only the changing nature
of scholarship in the metropolitan research university, but how its
changing intellectual climate should, in turn, change our conception
of writing instruction for students who attend college in the city.
It is argued that engaged research -- participatory, reciprocal research
-- depends on an awareness of research as a discursive practice; that
is, on how language and rhetoric are used to shape emerging knowledge.
When both faculty members and students focus on engagement, their relationship
to the city is enhanced, while also enhancing undergraduate education
and, in particular, writing instruction.
