Research policy and academic performativity: compliance, contestation and complicity
基于对英国学者的邮件访谈数据，探讨学者对当前研究政策趋势的反应，发现多数人虽反对却仍顺从，并从福柯审计理论、性别绩效性及社会心理视角分析顺从、抗争与共谋。
Research, a major purpose of higher education, has become increasingly important in a context of global economic competitiveness. In this paper, we draw on data from email interviews with academics in Britain to explore responses to current research policy trends. Although the majority of academics expressed opposition to current policy developments, most were nevertheless complying with research imperatives. Informed by a Foucauldian conceptualisation of audit, feminist research on gendered performativity, and sociological and psycho-social theoretical resources on the affective, we discuss compliance, contestation and complicity in relation both to the data and to our own location as academics in this field.
