ESW Open Seminar Series
CHEER
Monday 2nd March, 5pm
Room 104, Fulton
Speaker
Professor Yvette Taylor, Head of the Weeks Centre for Social and
Policy Research, London South Bank University, presents:
Enterprising, Enduring, Enabling?
The entrepreneurial university:
Engaging publics, intersecting impacts
____________________________________
The entrepreneurial university - and indeed the entrepreneurial
researcher - has been tasked with making an impact.
Drawing upon the recent collection, The Entrepreneurial University:
Engaging Publics, Intersecting Impacts (2014), Professor Taylor raises
questions about who becomes the proper academic subject, fitting-in
and getting ahead, and what falls off the agenda? She will also
consider the often uneasy measures of 'public sociology' and the ethics
and possibilities of engagement, counter-publics and episodic politics.
Professor Taylor will present professional-personal reflections on
research experience - as well as interpretative accounts of navigating
fieldwork and broader publics, politics and practices of
(dis)engagement, through a queer feminist lens. Such concerns are
practically related to the (in)accessibility of research practices,
audiences, ‘users’ and communities in and beyond ‘The
Entrepreneurial University’.
