Between the mid-1970s and the mid-1980s, these sociologically inclined literary critics worked productively alongside an emergent generation of cultural sociologists (Tony Bennett, John Hall, Andrew Milner, David Morley, Charlotte Brunsdon, Jim McGuigan, Janet Wolff, and many others), building on the traditions of Western Marxism and in particular of critical theory to forge an interdisciplinary path-a "sociology of literature" stream within "British cultural studies"-through such innovative venues as Birmingham's Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies and the Essex Sociology of Literature Project. The relatively soft disciplinary boundaries there between sociology, communications, media studies, and English allowed scholars like Bennett (a native Australian with a sociology degree from Sussex), Mercer (a native Briton with a degree in sociology of literature from Essex), and John Frow (a native Australian with a comparative literature degree from Cornell) to engage each other as colleagues in a series of collaborative and genuinely interdisciplinary projects when they were working at Australian universities in the early and mid-1980s.
