摘要：In my writings over the past eight years, I have placed my professional experiences as a
university employee in both Germany and the United States under the lens of interaction
theory as first conceptualized by George Herbert Mead, later articulated by Blumer (1986,
2004), and most recently redefined by Layder (e.g., 1981, 1998, 2006). My purpose has been
to critically examine the microcosm of my own occupational socialization and professional
identity construction in view of the macro-structures of institutional belonging (Froehlich,
1999, 2000a & b, 2002, 2004, 2006a & b). Behind these self-reflecting efforts lies what I
would describe as the systemic conflict between my role as institutional gatekeeper on the
one hand and my desire to instill significant change in institutional traditions on the other.
