| Abstract | "While you are reading an academic publication, does it matter whether the author is a psychologist, a sociologist, a communication scientist, or a media scholar? We would like to assume we are all discussing the same phenomena, with little more than a change of perspective: different references or differently named theories, perhaps. When academics apply for research funding, there is a modern preference for proposals that are 'multidisciplinary' or 'interdisciplinary,' based on the concept of 'triangulation,' as if the psychologist, sociologist, and communication scientist are all looking at the same research object through different colored lenses"-- Provided by publisher. |
