intellectual enquiry and the culture of disciplines
by Tony Becher
- 1 Currently reading
"How do academics perceive themselves and colleagues in their own disciplines, and how do they rate those in other subjects? How closely related are their intellectual tasks and their ways of organizing their professional lives? What are the interconnections between academic cultures and the nature of disciplines? This title maps academic knowledge and explores the diverse characteristics of those who inhabit and cultivate it." "The second edition provides a thorough update to the original text, incorporating research findings and new theoretical perspectives. Fundamental changes in the nature of higher education and in the academic's role are reviewed and their significance for academic cultures is assessed. This edition examines academic cultures in lower status institutions internationally and places emphasis on issues of gender and ethnicity."--BOOK JACKET.
