ABSTRACT

It is far easier to spot a zeitgeist in one’s rear view mirror than through one’s front windshield. Unlike a deer, which may pose mesmerized in one’s high-beams, a convergence of research interests and assumptions does not often present itself for easy viewing in front of us as we drive along conducting our research. Rather, we often perceive and label trends as we emerge past them, defining our current pursuits as advancing beyond and away from previous ways of thinking.
