Transgressing the Boundaries

Our colleagues at orgtheory.net have been reporting on the recent meeting of the American Sociological Association. I’ve enjoyed following the discussion and learning more about what our sociologically inclined brethren say about organizations. But only today did I learn that the theme of this year’s ASA meeting was “Great Divides: Transgressing Boundaries.” Where, I thought, have I heard that expression before? Then I remembered: the title of Alan Sokal’s famous hoax paper was “Transgressing the Boundaries: Towards a Transformative Hermeneutics of Quantum Gravity.”

I guess sociologists have a sense of humor after all.
