I have a gut feeling some departments have an innate dislike of others. Am I crazy?

Some of this feeling might stem from office politics or personal preferences for each other but I noticed a cold shoulder when telling people I studied economics. A lot of my economics profs are conservative in political preference and the humanities profs tend to be more liberal but that's a limited sample of maybe 20 people and I've never bothered to explicitly ask; although, one prof with a giant Obama poster and another with a Palin one was a bit of a giveaway. Regardless, I felt some judgment passed on me because of the department.

Are some disciplines simply not fans of others?

Or am I trying to apply tribal psychology where it simply doesn't exist?

Jesus, somebody in academia has a Palin poster? That’s honestly the only thing that surprises me in this post. But yes, we are all a bit tribal in academia - even without the politics. But most departments can still get along and collaborate. 

That being said, I’ve never even seen conservative academics who would support Palin at this point, so your university might be a bit more unlikely to resolve issues than others.
