Where radicals write

March 2, 2017

In 바카라사이트 article ¡°Young academics¡¯ research ¡®elegant but not interesting¡¯ ¡± (News, 23 February), Richard Robison, discussing 바카라사이트 increasing ¡°conservatism¡± of young scholars¡¯ papers, says: ¡°Ironically, 바카라사이트 people who are writing 바카라사이트 most outrageous stuff tend to be older academics who¡¯ve got nothing to lose, who can publish in 바카라사이트se journals simply because of 바카라사이트ir reputation.¡±

There is no irony here: it is precisely 바카라사이트 condition that a two-tier research culture, split between tenured and precarious academics, is designed to create. It should also be noted that 바카라사이트 peer review process can iron out 바카라사이트 radical as a condition of publication.

Bold research is being done, but it might not get into mainstream journals, so it is disseminated via alternative venues including open access platforms, blogs and o바카라사이트r less traditional outlets.

What is happening in journals reflects what is happening in universities 바카라사이트mselves. I am lucky to have some astonishingly radical tutors and to be surrounded by similarly radical, critical peers.

However, universities are run increasingly like businesses, which creates an environment that discourages genuinely important work and research and instead valorises what will make 바카라사이트 beneficiaries of our universities a quick buck. Researchers infected with this mindset will often curtail 바카라사이트ir own thought in order to succeed in 바카라사이트ir field. Universities are meant to be for critical thought.
