The politics of engaged scholarship: impact, relevance and imagination
本文探讨社会科学家面临展示研究社会相关性和公共影响力的压力,分析这种压力引发的学科方向担忧,并提出对“参与式学术政治”的更深入理解。
The relationship between social scientists and the broader social sphere is changing as greater pressure is placed on academics to demonstrate the social relevance and public impact of their research. This pressure is creating widespread concern – intellectual, professional and moral – about the direction of many disciplines and what can be done to thwart what some academics view as the ‘tyranny of relevance’. It is in exactly this context that this paper adopts an interdisciplinary approach in order to offer a more sophisticated and informed account of ‘the politics of engaged scholarship’.
