The Duke Center for Community-Engaged Scholarship is an interdisciplinary hub facilitating collaborative scholarship between community partners and Duke faculty, staff, and students, to address pressing societal challenges. The Center connects community organizations with students and researchers to explore difficult questions, analyze data, and enhance their impactful work.
The Duke Center for Community-Engaged Scholarship is a joint effort of Duke Community Affairs and Interdisciplinary Programs in the Office of the Provost. The Center supports the university’s ongoing commitment to “partner with purpose,” a cornerstone of Duke’s vision for its second century.
