Abstract: Academic life is brilliant at erecting enclosures and less adept at finding ways of dismantling them. Borders play an important part in securing identity of purpose, but the university has to find ways of making its borders transitory and of transcending those that are in place. University life has to become nomadic, where identities and purposes are lived out in border country (Barnett, 2000, p. 107). IntroductionP artnership is the vehicle of choice for many academic forays into border country. Postsecondary alliances with external entities have become highly institutionalized as a mode of organizing, particularly given a national policy environment that actively encourages collaboration with industry (most notably in the form of the 1980 Bayh–Dole Act) and the promise of significant financial rewards flowing from these relationships (Newfield, 2003).
