Science today, perhaps more than ever, is the site of multiple negotiations. Market values increasingly drive scientific research and higher education yet the traditional emphasis upon rational knowledge remains. The range of actors with a claim to ‘have a say’ in science has also grown to include a range of voices beyond academe, from industry and the public. These new actors may play different roles in different contexts and geopolitical spaces. All these processes also have a gender dimension – from recruitment and retention of students and employees, to work-life balance and the gendering of knowledge production processes and practices.We welcome papers on the following themes.
- Excellence and (public) accountability
- Epistemic communities, research collaborations and disciplinary dis/semblance
- Growing into/growing out
- Material practices of knowledge production and the legitimization of knowledge
- Methodologies revisited: science studies of social sciences and humanities
