faire bifurquer une discipline

[matthieuenestonie]

est-ce que je peux utiliser 'to fork' dans le contexte suivant?:
- d'autres universitaires ont fait bifurquer leur discipline originale vers les relations internationales
- other scholars have (made forked) their original discipline towards IR
ça fait bizarre!

 

[wildan1]

fork isn't really used all alone as a verb in English -maybe fork off to the right/left (la route bifurque vers la droite/la gauche)

Otherwise, bifurquer = turn off, turn away

faire bifurquer - redirect

Other faculty have redirected their original disciplinary focus towards international relations.

Perhaps "have branched out from their original ..."
