ABOUT THIS EPISODE
This track was inspired by the argument made in _“Excellence R Us”: university research and the fetishisation of excellence_ by Samuel Moore, Cameron Neylon, Martin Paul Eve, Daniel Paul O’Donnell & Damian Pattinson published in Palgrave Communications 3, Article number: 16105 (2017)doi:10.1057/palcomms.2016.105Published online 19 January 2017 http://www.palgrave-journals.com/articles/palcomms2016105The main point Moore et al make is that “excellence” has no content. It is meaningless in any practical sense. They discuss what this means for higher education policy. In this track I apply their perspective to how you might judge your own work, and how you might engage with those institutional policies and processes that require "excellence"First published on my website in 2017 https://jovanevery.co.uk/do-you-need-to-be-excellent/Read the post here: For more content like this, sign up to the monthly newsletter: jovanevery.co.uk/newsletterFollow me on Twitter: twitter.com/JoVanEveryFind my Facebook Page here: facebook.com/JoVEAcademicCareerCoachJoin the Academic Writing Studio: academicwritingstudio.co.uk
