At Franklin Pierce University (in the Doctor of Arts Program in Leadership) we find your book Interdisciplinary Research: Process and Theory MOST helpful.

This morning we'll be discussing our reading of your book. This Fall 2010 term it's the first reading in a required orientation class for the Doctor of Arts degree program. After that we're having lunch with students in a class that's prerequisite to dissertation writing. We hope to generate some conversation about the nature of our program and let the new generation of students coming in advance a few insights from their reading. Should be interesting.
