Crossing Boundaries: Knowledge, Disciplinarities, and Interdisciplinarities - Paperback

by Julie Thompson Klein (Author)

Boundary work studies examine how boundaries of knowledge are formed, maintained, broken down and reconfigured. This text investigates the claims, activities and institutional structures that define and legitimate interdisciplinary practices.

Back Jacket
