Collegiality


Volume 13, Numbers 1-2


Whether for good or bad, collegiality plays a formative role in our lives as members of the academy. It effects our teaching and researching practices; it shapes the way we see ourselves as academics as well as the way we see others in the academy.  The essays in this issue form a comprehensive statement on many of the social, political, economic and intellectual dimensions of collegiality in contemporary academic culture.  If nothing else, they provide convincing evidence that collegiality is one of the key metaprofessional issues of our day: an issue worthy of continuing critical assessment because of its role as one the most basic features of academic identity.
