Specific Charge

The Research & Scholarship Committee is charged with leading ACSA’s efforts to support faculty in scholarly endeavors; monitoring and assessing peer-review and recognition programs and recommending actions to advocate for architectural scholarship.

In 2024-25, the committee will continue to work on advancing scholarship around
climate action and social justice by supporting the Academy for Public Scholarship in the Built Environment with the aim of developing our members’ capacity to disseminate the products of their work. The committee will also focus on developing resources and programming to help faculty with identifying funding sources, relationship-building with grantors, grant-writing, and collaboration.
