THE NEOLIBERAL CAMPAIGN OF "OPEN SCIENCE"
in: ‘Hell is truth boundary 2’, p. 38-50

Critics and analysts of neoliberalism seem to miss one of its key tenets: that markets are better than people when it comes to thinking. This talk explores the consequences of this blind spot for modern Marxists, for ‘fake news’, and for the utopia of ‘open science.’

  New research shows that winners of a large research grant programme in the Netherlands have a 2.5 times greater chance of obtaining a follow-up grant than nonwinners. But does a young researcher who wins a grant really have a greater chance of obtaining a follow-up grant than an equally talented fellow-researcher who fails to do so the first time around?

• Knowledge for Change A Vibrant Urban University with a Growing Global Presence: Thoughts on What Malmö University Could Be
  John Aubrey Douglas | Tapio Salonen & Hans Lindquist (eds.)
  Malmö 2018 | May 2018
  Nowadays, the forces of globalisation and a campaign by various international university ranking enterprises place too much emphasis on a narrow model of what the best universities should be. One result: the notion of a “World Class University” (WCU) and the focus on its close relative, global rankings of universities, dominates the higher education policymaking of ministries and major universities throughout the globe.

  Many believe that universities need to embrace change and seize the opportunity to define how they contribute to a prosperous society, or risk becoming irrelevant. But how? And for what future? The best way to avoid a new disruptor into your market is to disrupt your own market from within… then the questions are, how will it all look in 2040 and will universities be willing to do it?

• Measuring growth in students’ proficiency in MOOCs: Two component dynamic extensions for the Rasch model
  Dmitry Abbakumov, Piet Desmet, Wim Van den Noortgate
  Springer US | September 2018
  Massive open online courses (MOOCs) are increasingly popular among students of various ages and at universities around the world. The main aim of a MOOC is growth in students’ proficiency. Traditional psychometric approaches based on item response theory (IRT) assume that a student’s proficiency is constant over time, and therefore are not well suited for measuring growth. This study seeks to go beyond this assumption.

  During the last few decades, many university presidents have expressed an intent to internationalise their institutions to equip students with the broad intellectual skills necessary to succeed in the global twenty-first century. However, these well-intentioned calls for internationalisation have remained little more than rhetoric.

SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS OF STUDENT LIFE IN EUROPE 2012-2015

What conditions are European students living in today? How do they feel about their studies? How do students differ across countries? Answers to these question and more can be found in the EUROSTUDENT V study, “Social and Economic Conditions of Student Life in Europe 2012-2015”. Collecting data from 29 countries within the European Higher Education Area, this study analyses trends across the continent to produce an insight into student life and one of the most comprehensive and revealing student-surveys ever. We talked with Dominic Orr, project leader of EUROSTUDENT from 2005 to 2015. Read the interview (p. 6)

Gender in science and technology: Interdisciplinary approaches

The book positions itself nicely within a trending body of literature that insists on the importance of interdisciplinary approaches within research. This has been particularly important for the field of gender studies and the last 20 years has seen a push for using interdisciplinary approaches to further understandings of the multiple dimensions of intersectional gender inequality. It is an exciting time for the discipline: Through interdisciplinarity, gender studies has managed to establish itself as a field of knowledge production in its own right (whilst it has simultaneously and importantly restrained from producing itself as a successor discipline), highlighting the importance of challenging the biased epistemological foundations of knowledge production.

The aims of the book appear to be threefold: to allow those in the field of science and technology to reflect on previously un-reflected assumptions within their work, to challenge the supposedly ‘neutral’ principles of science and technology (which inadvertently hide gender hierarchies), and finally, to allow for more collaboration in the field with men and women on equal terms.

Anne Balsamo sets the stage for the rest of the book, and introduces a number of key concepts and ideas that are crucial for understanding how gender and technology can be fused. Balsamo specifically looks at how feminist theory can be used to improve the design process. She immediately references the work of gender study’s ‘woman-of-the- moment’, physicist Karen Barad, who famously declared that “matter does matter”. New materialist concerns posit that we must move away from an essentialist distinction between subjects and objects and that neither subjects nor materiality preexist the interactions that constitute them. The implications of this claim being that technologies do not exist out of time, and that all participants bring gendered, cultural and class-based assumptions to the designing process.

For those who are not yet convinced that theory and practice can interrelate, Els Rommes offers an insightful example of how feminist theory can be used when it comes to looking at processes surrounding the designing of new products. Rommes analyses research and asks whether it is enough to just design products that include more women, or whether feminist designs should include efforts to provide for changes in gender relations.

Rommes details a number of design methods that were used by the participating designers, explaining the potentially problematic aspects of each. She makes a convincing argument for a critical analysis of supposed gender- inclusive design strategies, but it was somewhat disappointing that she did not provide any concrete examples of how this could be done, which was a shame, considering that one of the overall aims of the book was to aid people to apply gender theory in their practical work.

However readers need not feel disappointed, as Corinna Bath’s work might well provide some of those useful practical examples. Focusing on technology design in computer science, Bath brings pragmatic feminist technological design methods, “that avoid a perpetuation of the existing structural-symbolic gender order”. She encourages the reader to ‘de-gender’ computational artefacts by questioning assumptions, ontologies and epistemologies of technology design. Bath suggests a number of alternative technology design methods. These vary from discourse analysis approaches to anthropological inquiry.

This book contributes much-needed analysis to a very exciting and innovative area of academic inquiry. With its combination of feminist theory, design intervention strategies and constructive advice on how to take these ideas forward in a practical dimension, it is hard to see how anyone could remain unconvinced about the compatibility of these two disciplines. By reflecting critically on gender in the diverse ways the authors suggest, we can see how it may be possible to overcome gender inequality and power hierarchies generally.
