Transform: The Journal of Engaged Scholarship is an open-access, peer reviewed, multi-disciplinary online platform for engaged scholars and practitioners.
The Journal features articles that advance the scholarship of engagement within Australia and internationally, providing space for critical inquiry, reflection, and review. The Journal includes empirical research, practice-oriented research, and reviews of practice relevant to engagement in the Higher Education sector.
Note: Transform, as the official journal of Engagement Australia promotes the Australian Carnegie Community Engagement Classification and its definition of community engagement and reciprocal partnerships. Research articles, theoretical and conceptual articles, practice articles, and case studies should address/discuss the engaged processes (i.e., the nature of the reciprocal partnership/s) and outcomes/impacts of their topic of focus with regards to the Carnegie definition.
The Editorial Board invites manuscript submissions to the following five sections:
- Research articles that report on the findings of empirical studies of higher education engagement with communities. The journal is open to a variety of methodologies which may be qualitative, quantitative, or mixed methods.
- Theoretical and conceptual articles that examine the theoretical and conceptual approaches to higher education engagement with communities
- Practice articles that examine the practice of higher education engagement with communities
- Case studies that report on engaged projects and programs in the sector (1500 – 3000 words)
