The ‘tribes and territories’ metaphor for the cultures of academic disciplines and their roots in different knowledge characteristics has been used by those interested in university life and work since the early 1990s. This book draws together research, data and theory to show how higher education has gone through major change since then and how social theory has evolved in parallel. Together these changes mean there is a need to re-theorise academic life in a way which reflects changed contexts in universities in the twenty-first century, and so a need for new metaphors. Using a social practice approach, the editors and contributors argue that disciplines are alive and well, but that in a turbulent environment where many other forces conditioning academic practices exist, their influence is generally weaker than before. However, the social practice approach adopted in the book highlights how this influence is contextually contingent – how disciplines are deployed in different ways for different purposes and with varying degrees of purchase. This important book pulls together the latest thinking on the subject and offers a new framework for conceptualising the influences on academic practices in universities. It brings together a distinguished group of scholars from across the world to address questions such as: Have disciplines been displaced by inter-disciplinarity, having outlived their usefulness? Have other forces acting on the academy pushed disciplines into the background as factors shaping the practices of academics and students there? How significant are disciplinary differences in teaching and research practices? What is their significance in other areas of work in universities? This timely book addresses a pressing concern in modern education, and will be of great interest to university professionals, managers and policy-makers in the field of higher education.

"Space and geography, demographics and culture are less and less relevant. It is no longer about where people are born or where they live. It is more about who they are, how they see themselves, and with whom they choose to identify. This new world is as much about how we choose to identify ourselves, how we define our own priorities, and who we ourselves choose as our cohort as it is about where we physically work, play or worship. “The uniqueness of Tribal Analytics is that it ‘segments’ the population based on self-identified tribal affinities — shared values, life philosophies and outlooks. In doing so, it transcends demographics and other category-specific attitudes and behaviors that would be the basis of a traditional market segmentation study. Along the way, be prepared to see your own family and friends in a completely new way. You will meet the Persistents, the Outsiders, the Creatives, The One True Path, the Land of the Free. Find out who you, your customers, your target voters, and your neighbors really are."--Online blurb.

The United States is now a country of tribes, Left and Right, and it's scary to contemplate what this could turn into. The federal government is paralyzed. All political battles are special interest group against special interest group and no one is paying attention to the issues that really matter; the budget deficit, entitlements, health care, and education, to name a few. I determined to dig into this issue and write about it; to get the word out to all who are interested in learning more.This subject of tribalism leads to questions that need to be answered. What are the forces that made us tribal? Assuming tribalism is bad, how do we get back to a time when we can communicate and debate ideas freely? What are the risks of America continuing in a tribal state? The time for action is now. Clearly, we are not moving forward and continuing to ignore the danger we face would be a serious mistake.

Why has India's astonishing economic growth not reached the people at the bottom of its social and economic hierarchy? Traveling the length and breadth of the subcontinent, this book shows how India's "untouchables" and "tribals" fit into the global economy. India's Dalit and Adivasi communities make up a staggering one in twenty-five people across the globe and yet they remain among the most oppressed. Conceived in dialogue with economists, Ground Down by Growth reveals the lived impact of global capitalism on the people of these communities. Through anthropological studies of how the oppressions of caste, tribe, region, and gender impact the working poor and migrant labor in India, this startling new anthology illuminates the relationship between global capital and social inequality in the Indian context. Collectively, the chapters of this volume expose how capitalism entrenches social difference, transforming traditional forms of identity-based discrimination into new mechanisms of exploitation and oppression.

For over 500 years the American Indian has been engaged in physical, psychological and legal battle with the colonizers of the American Continent. They have endured untold depredations, near extinction and attempts at termination. Yet they remain and continue their fight. The United States; as the ultimate colonizer, has; for 200 years, been searching for an equitable solution to end this enduring struggle with varying degrees of success and failure. Today there are 566 federally recognized tribes representing less than 1% of the U.S. population. Yet despite some progress, Indians remain at the bottom of the ladder by virtually every socioeconomic indicator. Since the 1970s tribal leaders have reveled in the improvements and particularly in the seeming willingness of the government to engage in consultation. Despite sporadic successes; however, this article contends that tribal and federal officials are just kicking the can down the road. Tribal success is being gained more by tribal governments than by tribal citizens. The article begins with a brief; too well known, history then discusses several of the characteristics that have evolved over 200 years that defines the present relationship and why they are impediments to future development. Finally, I provide some examples of what success really is and make recommendations that can lead to a successful solution for all.
