The Impact Agenda

Controversies, Consequences and Challenges

By: Katherine E. Smith,Justyna Bandola-Gill,Nasar Meer,Ellen Stewart,Richard Watermeyer

Measuring research impact and engagement is a much debated topic in the UK and internationally. This book is the first to provide a critical review of the research impact agenda, situating it within international efforts to improve research utilisation. Using empirical data, it discusses research impact tools and processes for key groups such as academics, research funders, ‘knowledge brokers’ and research users, and considers the challenges and consequences of incentivising and rewarding particular articulations of research impact. It draws on wide ranging qualitative data, combined with theories about the science-policy interplay and audit regimes to suggest ways to improve research impact.

Competitive Accountability in Academic Life

The Struggle for Social Impact and Public Legitimacy

By: Richard Watermeyer

This book considers how a culture of ‘competitive accountability’ in UK higher education produces multiple tensions, contradictions and paradoxes that are destabilizing and deleterious to the work and identities of academics as research scientists. It suggests the potential of a new discourse of scientific accountability, that frees scientists and their public communities from the absurdities and profligacy of ‘performativity’ and ‘managerial governmentality’ encountered in the REF and an impact agenda – the noose of competitive accountability – and a more honest and meaningful public contract.

Towards a Contextual Psychology of Disablism

By: Brian Watermeyer

This innovative work argues that a psychological framework of disability is an essential part of developing a more cohesive disability movement. Presenting conceptual ideas which describe psychological dynamics confronting disabled people in an exclusionary and prejudiced world, this volume is an important contribution to the literature. It will interest students and researchers of disability studies.
