Campus Compact has announced the 2023-2024 cohort of Engaged Scholars, a group of 14 faculty and staff selected as part of its Engaged Scholars Initiative. The scholars were nominated by institutional leaders and chosen based on their commitment to centering equity in their civic and community engagement work. Representing 13 institutions across 11 states, the cohort comprises a diverse group of highly qualified individuals from Campus Compact member institutions nationwide. Among the selected scholars are two faculty members from the University of Northern Iowa: Kamryn Warren, an assistant professor of sociology in the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences, and Sunah Chung, an assistant professor of literacy education in the College of Education. Warren’s expertise lies in human rights, refugees, humanitarianism and qualitative research methods. Chung’s research centers on children’s nonfiction literature and literacy practices, particularly examining potential biases in nonfiction picture books and the role of adult readers as gatekeepers. Throughout the academic year, the Engaged Scholars will participate in various professional development activities.
