交叉学科是由有意渗透的组织、认识论和政治边界构成的混合知识领域。到目前为止，这些过程还没有得到很好的理解。本文以遗传毒理学为例，借鉴框架理论，探讨跨学科是如何形成的。我认为，“集体行动框架”的概念和注意框架过程（斯诺等，1986年）和框架共振（斯诺和本福德，1988年）增加了急需的细化社会学家的理解渗透边界，伴随着跨学科的发展。我发展这个论点，通过分析公共讲座，专家证词，文章，并在1968年至1973年期间，促进遗传毒理学的科学家所产生的社论。我展示了这些研究人员如何通过放大，扩展和翻译一组相互关联的集体行动框架来为遗传毒理学提供修辞案例，以及为什么在不断变化的机构机会的背景下，框架过程是快速巩固新的和强烈的跨学科环境健康科学的组成部分。文章最后指出，这项研究的科学和社会运动的综合研究的影响。
Interdisciplines are hybridized knowledge fields that are constituted by intentionally porous organizational, epistemological, and political boundaries. To date, these processes are not well understood. This article uses the case of genetic toxicology and draws on framing theory to examine how interdisciplines are made. I argue that the concept of "collective action frames" and attention to framing processes (Snow et al. 1986) and frame resonance (Snow and Benford 1988) adds much needed refinement to sociologists' understanding of the permeable boundaries that accompany the development of interdisciplines. I develop this argument through an analysis of public lectures, expert testimony, articles, and editorials produced by scientists promoting genetic toxicology during the period 1968-1973. I show how these researchers made the rhetorical case for genetic toxicology by amplifying, extending, and translating a set of interrelated collective action frames and why, in the context of shifting institutional opportunities, framing processes were integral to the rapid consolidation of a new and intensely interdisciplinary environmental health science. The article concludes by noting the study's implications for integrative research on science and social movements.
