"History of Disciplines: Emergence of Economics and the Reemergence of Political Economy"
The work on "History of Disciplines: Emergence of Economics and the Reemergence of Political Economy" is very interesting to read and it is well written. I would just like to point out that references for the information in the introduction are missing.OwlUwl (discuss • contribs) 09:17, 20 October 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for the reminder. I have added the references required to back up the information given in introduction part. Lily0212 (discuss • contribs) 18:30, 3 November 2020 (UTC)

"History of Disciplines: Pharmacology and one of its Subdisciplines"
Under the headline "History of Disciplines: Pharmacology and one of its Subdisciplines" there was a part of the first paragraph that I found very engaging. The part was: "Although he presented his work to the Paris Academy in 1809, the actual emergence of pharmacology as a separate scientific discipline was not until 1847, when its first university position was established with the appointment of Rudolf Buchheim as professor of pharmacology at the University of Dorpat in Estonia.", I would love the author to motivate what caused the discipline not to be considered a discipline although scientific work in it was presented to an academic institution.

I did some further research on this and couldn't find much on the topic. However, I did elaborate on ancients uses of pharmacology as well as the modern one. Purpledinosaur17 (discuss • contribs) 09:50, 9 November 2020 (UTC)

"History of Disciplines: The Emergence and Derision of Herbalism"
The contribution on "History of Disciplines: The Emergence and Derision of Herbalism" is also very interesting. I am only wondering about the source of the definiton of a discipline as mentioned in the following quote: "The word discipline is defined as "a branch of knowledge, typically one studied in higher education".

I've added the reference. Thank you for the reminder! (discuss • contribs) 6:21, 4 November 2020 (UTC)

History of Disciplines: Anthropology as a Discipline and the Paradigm Shift of the Anthropological Method
In regards to the first paragraph (hopefully this doesn't seem too pedantic) but since "origins" is written, "traces" should be "trace" instead, or "origins" should be changed to "the origin" as only one origin is discussed. Beans2002 (discuss • contribs) 09:50, 19 October 2020 (UTC)

I have taken the liberality to add an introduction of sorts to our sandbox outlining some of the questions and ideas raised in the Approaches to Knowledge History seminar. I have only begun with a simple definition of a discipline, an example and markers of a discipline. If anyone would like to add discussions on paradigm shifts or who gets to decide the history of a discipline, please feel free to add this. What are everyone's thoughts on adding a introduction?

I think having such an introduction paragraph is good. It makes the structure of our sandbox page clearer and could naturally guide readers to the following part where we wrote about lots of different disciplines and topics. I have added the social nature of the concept "discipline" and the paradigm shift thing to it. Lily0212 (discuss • contribs)

History of Disciplines: Medical Ethics
I have added a very small paragraph regarding the 4 main principles of Medical Ethics as these are still considered to be of importance in today's medical practices. MM.Mar 08 (discuss • contribs) 21:29, 19 October 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for adding this! It roots the article in the modern era which is great! OwlUwl (discuss • contribs) 11:31, 10 November 2020 (UTC)

Social media, an emerging discipline?
There is a recurring issue in the contribution which is your personal opinion; the contribution should be impartial and not personal, also it should be more factual than an opinion. I can try to correct it, but since it is mainly your opinion, it would be better if you would edit the contribution in a way that satisfies you. To my view, the contribution should be more objective.That being said, I like the topic you chose and I do agree with most points you brought up in your contribution! :) JupiterJoyner (discuss • contribs)

History of Disciplines: Political sociology and its interdisciplinarity
I think you took a very interesting subject, and a very important one. I feel like there was a problem with your references. You didn’t put The

History of Disciplines: The Short-Lived Paradigm Shift between Historical and New Musicology
I loved your topic of choice and how well you explained the subject, both thoroughly and concisely. I didn't know how the discussion function worked until now, so I had added this last week. I found the article about how feminism shifted the discipline of musicology. I don't know if you would like to have a look at it or include any parts of it, but here it is if you want to check it out.

Women Remodelling Musicology

Research through a feminist lens could be observed in musicology since the 1970s. However, it was not until the 1990s that feminist thought started to expand the breadth of the discipline. Until then, research on women in music was mostly neglected by the mainstream of the discipline. Starting from the 1990s, feminist musicology challenged the accepted norms and began to reconsider and develop the existing conventions and approaches rooted in musicology.

↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ Hi, thank you for the suggestion! :) I checked out the article, it's great! It indeed took a great while for women to be recognized in multiple art fields (Painting, eg. Margaret Keane, hiding behind the persona of her husband to be taken seriously as an artist; and even today, it's still an issue, as this article from Independent states https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/books/news/writing-under-male-name-makes-you-eight-times-more-likely-get-published-one-female-author-finds-10443351.html; it's concerning) Thank you for point the study out for me! Great read! :) JupiterJoyner (discuss • contribs)

Glad you liked it. Yes, it took a great while and yes, we're still not there yet. I also recommend looking into the life of Antonia Brico, the first female conductor. They also made a movie about it recently, called "The Conductor."
