Preview Participating in the Knowledge Society: Research beyond University Walls

Description:
This interdisciplinary and transhistorical volume focuses on independent researchers creating and participating in knowledge outside the academy, from seventeenth century north-country astronomers or Victorian naturalists to today's think tanks, community historians and web opportunities. These intriguing cases raise challenging issues about the location, definition, and validation of "research", about active participation in knowledge-generation, and about the perhaps changing boundaries of university today.
