The Generalist and the Specialist
In this episdoe we're joined by a dear friend Matt to talk about the generalist and the specialist. These could be said to reflect two different approaches to scholarship/research/knowledge production. We discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each, and we consider how their distinct contributions might participate in an environment of disciplinary pluralism.
