    Disciplines Over Time: Making, Keeping and Breaking the Boundaries of Knowledge
  •  
  • More information to be posted closer to the event date.

    Co-organized with UBC Emeritus College.


    This series will bring together scholars who inhabit the same academic discipline or field of study, and are at different stages of their careers, to talk about how the boundaries separating their field of specialization from other fields have changed over time. The conversation will inevitably lead to a consideration of cross-disciplinary influences and interdisciplinary trends, as participants account for changes in the cognitive strength of sub-disciplines and the rise and fall of disciplinary paradigms. The intent will be to identify underlying reasons for the observed changes and, by the end of the series, to draw some general conclusions about mechanisms of (inter)disciplinary interaction and development, in the spirit—if not necessarily the style—of Thomas Kuhn and Michel Foucault.

    Series Conveners: Emma Cunliffe, Green College and Law, UBC; Donald Fisher, UBC Emeritus College
