Session Description
Faculty scholarship at teaching institutions is a challenging endeavor due to the significant demands that teaching and service place on time, and because of limited research funding. The problem is even greater when faculty are predominantly remote. In addition to the limitations of time and money social interactions are constrained and typically take place via a technology interface. Physical laboratory space is nonexistent, often limiting discipline based research. Scholarly expertise among faculty can vary widely; some faculty may have extensive research and publishing experience, others may have none at all. We discuss our efforts to create a community of scholars with the use of internet based meetings, database development, shared expertise, and strategic awarding of scholarly support. Opportunities, stumbling blocks, and limitations will also be examined.
