Which factors influence the formation of academic identities? And how do interdisciplinarity and transdisciplinarity affect it?
Prof. Liudvika Leišytė and Anna-Lena Rose shed light on these questions in their chapter in the Elgar Encyclopedia of Interdisciplinarity and Transdisciplinarity.
The authors show that academic identities have to be seen as multifaceted, fluid and increasingly complex constructions. Individual and collective experiences as well as acquired and ascribed roles are relevant here. While disciplinary affiliation is traditionally regarded as the most important source of academic identity, multiple and hybrid identities are increasingly emerging through disciplinary border-crossing in the context of inter- and transdisciplinarity.
