Today’s Chronicle of Higher Education has a piece on academic departmental life that could open up a rich topic for ethnographic research. It is the academic workplace up close and personal. How departmental life, presence or absence in offices, meeting spaces, and the dynamics of relationships are transforming as part of the changes brought on by telecommuting, neoliberal administrative measures, competitive pressures, etc. Some institutions and fields apparently retain lively and sociable workspaces while others do not. How does this work? For whom does it work (tenured faculty, adjuncts, students, staff)? And so on. See http://www.chronicle.com/article/Where-Is-Academe-s-Collegial/240638?cid=wcontentgrid_6_1b.
