Abstract: Work produced by community-engaged scholars often spans many genres from exhibitions to toolkits. Yet, our institutional structures often preassign value to deliverables produced from our community partnerships that align with academic genres, like the journal article or monograph. These structures can produce tension for the community scholar negotiating community expectations and producing academic knowledge. While many have critiqued how institutional structures inadequately account for community-engaged work, this article considers what options are available to challenge these structures. Drawing on my experiences with the infertility community, I demonstrate how reciprocity practiced through an accountability framework can respond to these critiques by adjusting how we measure scholarly merit and expanding it to include "alternative" genres.
