Book Synopsis Tribes and Territories in the 21st Century by : Paul Trowler
Download or read book Tribes and Territories in the 21st Century written by Paul Trowler. This book was released on 2012-01-25. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ‘tribes and territories’ metaphor for the cultures of academic disciplines and their roots in different knowledge characteristics has been used by those interested in university life and work since the early 1990s. This book draws together research, data and theory to show how higher education has gone through major change since then and how social theory has evolved in parallel. Together these changes mean there is a need to re-theorise academic life in a way which reflects changed contexts in universities in the twenty-first century, and so a need for new metaphors. Using a social practice approach, the editors and contributors argue that disciplines are alive and well, but that in a turbulent environment where many other forces conditioning academic practices exist, their influence is generally weaker than before. However, the social practice approach adopted in the book highlights how this influence is contextually contingent – how disciplines are deployed in different ways for different purposes and with varying degrees of purchase. This important book pulls together the latest thinking on the subject and offers a new framework for conceptualising the influences on academic practices in universities. It brings together a distinguished group of scholars from across the world to address questions such as: Have disciplines been displaced by inter-disciplinarity, having outlived their usefulness? Have other forces acting on the academy pushed disciplines into the background as factors shaping the practices of academics and students there? How significant are disciplinary differences in teaching and research practices? What is their significance in other areas of work in universities? This timely book addresses a pressing concern in modern education, and will be of great interest to university professionals, managers and policy-makers in the field of higher education.

Book Synopsis We Are Many, We Are One by : John Zogby
Download or read book We Are Many, We Are One written by John Zogby. This book was released on 2016-03-15. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Space and geography, demographics and culture are less and less relevant. It is no longer about where people are born or where they live. It is more about who they are, how they see themselves, and with whom they choose to identify. This new world is as much about how we choose to identify ourselves, how we define our own priorities, and who we ourselves choose as our cohort as it is about where we physically work, play or worship. “The uniqueness of Tribal Analytics is that it ‘segments’ the population based on self-identified tribal affinities — shared values, life philosophies and outlooks. In doing so, it transcends demographics and other category-specific attitudes and behaviors that would be the basis of a traditional market segmentation study. Along the way, be prepared to see your own family and friends in a completely new way. You will meet the Persistents, the Outsiders, the Creatives, The One True Path, the Land of the Free. Find out who you, your customers, your target voters, and your neighbors really are."--Online blurb.

Book Synopsis Tribalism by : Mary Hoekstra
Download or read book Tribalism written by Mary Hoekstra. This book was released on 2019-10-08. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States is now a country of tribes, Left and Right, and it's scary to contemplate what this could turn into. The federal government is paralyzed. All political battles are special interest group against special interest group and no one is paying attention to the issues that really matter; the budget deficit, entitlements, health care, and education, to name a few. I determined to dig into this issue and write about it; to get the word out to all who are interested in learning more.This subject of tribalism leads to questions that need to be answered. What are the forces that made us tribal? Assuming tribalism is bad, how do we get back to a time when we can communicate and debate ideas freely? What are the risks of America continuing in a tribal state? The time for action is now. Clearly, we are not moving forward and continuing to ignore the danger we face would be a serious mistake.
