Abstract
This article combines a theoretical exploration of the concept of disciplinization with a practical report on the departmental history of the Communication program at the University of Illinois at Chicago. The discussion of disciplinization is supported by theories of disciplinarity taken from Michel Foucault and Max Weber among others and the departmental history is formed from archival research and in-depth interviews with faculty. The result is a model for writing departmental history that contextualizes the concept of disciplinization within an historical account of the decisions made during the course of a program's development.
