Insatiable greed: performance pressure and precarity in the neoliberalised university

Christian R. Rogler

Social Anthropology > 27 > S2 > 63 - 77

Considerably increasing competition for academic positions/funding as well as managerial control of academic work are two key features of the contemporary university.

Combined with a vocational work ethic, these neoliberal dynamics are turning the academic profession into an increasingly greedy...

Ajurisdiction

Eric Lybeck

Theory and Society > 2019 > 48 > 1 > 167-191

Sociologists have long recognized the fragmentation our discipline’s knowledge, but few explanations go beyond “new internalist” studies of practices. Abbott’s scholarship in the topic areas of professions and disciplines is synthesized here to highlight a condition identified as “ajurisdiction,” or, the absence of professional responsibility. Ajurisdiction explains sociological fragmentation by situating...

Olga Alipova, Andrey Lovakov

Tertiary Education and Management > 2018 > 24 > 1 > 66-82

The literature on the consequences of academic inbreeding shows ambiguous results: some papers show that inbreeding positively influences research productivity measured by the quantity and quality of publications, while others demonstrate the opposite effect. There are contradictory results both in the studies of different countries and within countries. This variety of results makes it impossible...

L’autonomie de la recherche scientifique en débats : évaluer l’« impact » social de la science ?

Clémentine Gozlan

Sociologie du travail > 2015 > 57 > 2 > 151-174

De nombreux travaux ont montré que les activités scientifiques sont, aujourd’hui plus qu’hier, sujettes à des demandes de justification de leur utilité sociale et économique. Rares sont cependant les enquêtes qui interrogent la façon dont ces injonctions à l’utilité prennent forme dans les dispositifs d’évaluation. Cet article propose d’éclairer la construction d’un critère évaluant les liens entre...

What is the central research activity in modern universities? This paper uses a comprehensive survey among individuals from 15 countries to map differences in orientation towards basic/fundamental research, applied/practical research and a combination of the two. Despite some claims in the literature that basic research is no longer a preoccupation of universities, our findings point at a continued...
