The Province of Sophists: An Argument for Academic Homelessness

Pages 318-333 | Published online: 15 Jun 2010
 

Abstract

Scholars in our field frequently explore issues of positioning and disciplinary identity, thus revealing insecurity about our institutional value. We must realize that our homelessness within the academic neighborhood is a position of strength, not weakness. As knowledge grows increasingly specialized, our ability to position ourselves in various places within an institution gives us administrative flexibility, marketability, and proximity to the fields that we study.
