Discipline, disciplines, and disciplinarity

Chapter 3 in How to be a Successful Academic Researcher, 2024, pp 37-47 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: In addition to pointing out that there is no success without the discipline to work hard, this chapter discusses the positive aspects of disciplines as an academic ‘home’ as well as their limitations, explaining opportunities to broaden one’s career through multi-disciplinary, interdisciplinary, and potentially transdisciplinary approaches. This requires understanding of a broad range of theory and the ability to build new theory through either basic (i.e., ‘pure’) research or applied research. The benefits of linking theory and practice are also discussed as a pathway to research impact. Understanding disciplines and disciplinarity will add strings to your bow.
