Drdonnayates, Due to the nature of my work and research, I regularly find myself attending conferences and workshops in academic disciplines beyond my own. I'm there for outside expertise on something their discipline is grappling with. It is a fascinating window into other academic worlds. I approach it like participant observation. I'm studying and learning. Do other academics usually end up staying within their disciplinary bubbles? Do people like that? @academicchatter #academicchatter #academia
