	One danger for academics is academic elitism, which is (roughly) the view that only someone who has engaged in SeriousScholarship has anything worthwhile to say on any given topic, while all others are CrankS. It is possible to value SeriousScholarship without being an academic elitist, of course.



	In fields that have no non-academic counterpart, AcademicElitism is common because it actually is the case that there aren't very many people with anything worthwhile to say on the topic, other than the academics. But in more practical fields (math, computer science, business), it is more common to find that innovations appear much more readily from outside the hallowed walls of academia, and therefore harder to delude oneself into thinking non-academics are all or mostly CrankS.

Redirect to:

This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect:

From a camel case title: This is a redirect from a camel case page name. In the initial versions of Misplaced Pages, all links had to be "CamelCase", i.e., words that used medial capitals; they are "two-humped" like a Bactrian camel. These are kept as redirects to maintain edit history and to avoid breaking links that may have been made externally.

When appropriate, protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized.
