An action-oriented ethnography of interdisciplinary social scientific work
2007
This paper, based on an ethnographic study of a large social science research centre in the UK, provides an empirical account of inter-disciplinary and multidisciplinary collaborative practices across the social sciences and humanities. It also improves our understanding of interdisciplinary and multi-disciplinary social scientific work, and informs us of whether and how eResearch technologies and tools can assist social scientific research and enhance collaboration between social scientists. The main enquiries fall into two streams:
1) what institutional, cultural, social, technical and ethical practices inhibit or facilitate the interdisciplinary work of social science researchers; 2) what tools and technologies are effective in promoting collaboration across disciplines and across geographically distributed
