| Abstract: | We use a communities of practice framework to explore how departments value different constituent groups, focusing on faculty, undergraduate, and graduate students. Through a collaborative, autoethnographic, contrastive case study of two physics departments, we analyze the inter- and intra-constituency interactions and shared practice of each community demonstrating how each department centers or peripheralizes constituent groups. We argue that how each department enacts their community of practice demonstrates a foundational shared value: faculty autonomy for one and pastoral care of undergraduates for the other. |
