90. “Looking at this across the
disciplines you start to see
how important the
knowledge-creation
activity plays into the
sense of identity. The
overriding theme is that
one does not become a
“scholar” until they have
created something new. In
their eyes, it is the act of
creation that
distinguishing the student
from the scholar.”
