Smith, Linda C. Pandit, Idrisa 2011-05-07T12:36:15Z 2011-05-07T12:36:15Z 10000-01-01 1992 This study examined the informal communication patterns of humanities scholars. A qualitative inquiry based on in-depth interviews was conducted. Thirty-six scholars from three humanities disciplines--history, philosophy, and literature--participated in various stages of the study. The intent was to find out how humanists perceive informal communication, what impact it has on their research and how their research shapes their informal communication. Also explored were the differences and commonalities in the three disciplines. This study found most of the stereotypes about humanities scholars do not hold true any more. The perceived value of informal contacts was found to vary with a scholar's discipline, specialty or research orientation. Made available in DSpace on 2011-05-07T12:36:15Z (GMT).
