It is questionable whether an academic conference facilitates the process of knowledge learning, applying and updating. To answer this question via elaborating how the academic community's structure, genealogy and knowledge legitimacy grow from an academic conference, this article adopts the conceptual frame of scientific community and social network analysis, and takes the author's experience as a case for investigation. It concludes: the community members learn the interactive patterns in a conference to dialogue, confirm their relative positions in genealogy, and identify the formation of a core-peripheral structure. Also, the opportunities of paradigm shift would be located in the peripheral position. |
