book: academic tribes and territories

Becher, Tony, and Paul R. Trowler. Academic Tribes and Territories: Intellectual Enquiry and the Culture of Disciplines. 2nd ed. Philadelphia: The Society for Research into Higher Education & Open University Press, 1996.
This book discusses how academics perceive themselves and disciplines. It also explores how the academic cultures and nature of disciplines are interconnected. The text covers areas from disciplines, overlaps and speciality, community, communication, career paths, wider context, and implications for practice. This book will be useful to my project if I choose to focus on interdisciplinary issues.
