This article concentrates mainly on the issue of the relationship between scholarship and peer review. Examining this relationship is important because of the need for broadening the conceptualisation and scope of engaged knowledge production especially in ways that connect with the knowledges and experiences of the working class and rural communities of the university. These communities continue to be socio-culturally, economically and politically marginalised. Academic knowledge has to accept some responsibility for that reality. Elsewhere, it is argued that academic conceptions of knowledge impede attempts by communities from genuinely participating in the co-construction of scientific knowledge, consequently reducing its potential and usefulness by proscribing the boundaries of knowledge production through the conventions by which academic knowledge is validated in ways that exclude the possibilities for wider 'community' engagement.
