As far as being 'current', 'academia' may be, in my view, one of the oldest, if not t h e oldest, terms for most of the entries here. Why one uses it or not is, I think, a matter of personal choice. For me, in the back of my head there was a name of a Czech publishing house, and the fact that many educational and other organisations carry that name. So I guess it is just a matter of choice, it looks to me as if everyone here is right. My only reservation would be the 'university' community because there are also post-graduate scholars, writers,researchers and 'thinkers' etc. Just an IMHO |
