Indeed ... back to the issue at hand. Being part of a large HE institution, I find the pleas from Deans and Principals for us all to create 'cross-disciplinary' teaching practices and project networks etc. quite odd in light of the fact that the structures are not in place which would better afford those possibilities. My thoughts revolve around some notions implicit and explicit in object orientation (programming): departments don't have to become elephants of inclusion, but can maintain their own autonomy (sovereignty?) and create networks with other departments, practioners, etc. through shared parameters/aspects and department/staff-specific methods of interaction. I am more interested in the design of the relationship syntax; perhaps as I become less of a newby in this mail list business, I will find relevant aspects. Of course, I would welcome any thoughts from those more experienced than I in this kind of networking and its possible crossover into large institutional organisations.
