Publisher Synopsis
"A deeply helpful guide born of careful observation, research, and--especially--firsthand experiences. Every page sparkles with insights and helpful guidance while at the same time presenting what turns into a captivating story. I could easily identify one hundred faculty colleagues desperate to have this book in hand."--Jason Baird Jackson, Director, Mathers Museum of World Cultures at Indiana University Bloomington "Rarely, if ever, have we seen such a clear-eyed ethnography of the political economy of the Western academic workplace. This book should be required reading for anyone who professes to care not just about interdisciplinarity, but about the short- and long-term future of curiosity-driven knowledge as well. Buy a copy for yourself, and then buy one for every administrator in sight. We can and should all recognize ourselves in here and, having done so, we should ask--regardless of discipline--what can be done to challenge the variety of neoliberal practices with which we are complicit in our own research?"--Antoinette Burton, Director, Illinois Program for Research in the Humanities "Sustaining Interdisciplinary Collaboration is a timely book, perhaps even a necessary book, in the now years-long moment of the most recent rise of interdisciplinarity in academia."--Journal of Folklore Research "Eminently comprehensible and enjoyable to read."--Western Folklore "Sustaining Interdisciplinary Collaboration is a timely book, perhaps even a necessary book, in the now years-long moment of the most recent rise of interdisciplinarity in academia."--Journal of Folklore Research "In this engaging work . . . The authors provide a multifaceted view of the complexities of this type of research project." --Journal of American Folklore Read more...
