Paul Trowler HERDSA 2011 Keynote: Beyond Boundaries and Edges in Conceptualising Disciplines.
Channel: Paul Trowler
Date: 2012-07-17

In this video I:

• Say some things about conceptualising disciplines and their power
• Briefly think about how social practice theory (stemming from Giddens, Bernstein and others) can help us with reconceptualising this
• Think about some of the drivers, vectors or catalysts of practices which to some extent may be displacing disciplinary power
• Consider the implications of this for those charged with enhancement efforts.

These arguments relate to the book I edited with colleagues:
Trowler, P., Saunders, M. and Bamber, R. (Eds) (Jan 2012).Tribes and territories in the 21st-century: Rethinking the significance of disciplines in higher education. London: Routledge.
