Blended and co-existing worlds in intersectoral mobilities of European PhD graduates in the social sciences and humanities

ABSTRACT

This paper argues that links between academia and other economic sectors are increasing, especially through intersectoral mobility of university graduates. Murray [(2010). “The Oncomouse that Roared: Hybrid Exchange Strategies as a Source of Distinction at the Boundary of Overlapping Institutions.” American Journal of Sociology 116 (2): 341–388] has identified literature pointing both to blending and continuing co-existence of the academic and commercial worlds. Based on a European-wide study of PhD graduates in the social sciences and humanities (SSH), this paper considers the extent to which intersectoral mobility reflects blending. It finds that intersectoral communities of practice exist mainly in applied fields of knowledge. However, in many areas of the SSH, differences in institutional norms and values inhibit intersectoral mobility, particularly in mid-career stages.

The university in the global age: reconceptualising the humanities and social sciences for the twenty-first century.

Abstract

By any metric, the twentieth century university was a successful institution. However, in the twenty-first century, ongoing neoliberal educational reform has been accompanied by a growing epistemological crisis in the meaning and value of the humanities and social sciences (HaSS). Concerns have been expressed in two main forms. The governors of tertiary education systems—governments, private investors, university managers and consultancy firms—have focused on how HaSS can adapt to the perceived research needs of the 21st century. At the same time, a competing set of discourses has been generated by scholars and researchers employed within the critical HaSS themselves. This article considers what these differing perspectives mean for reconceptualising HaSS for the twenty-first century. After surveying the contemporary climate, this article examines the findings of key reports on the future of the humanities from the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia. Alongside those of Western Europe, these university systems are arguably the key drivers for the global university system. It is argued that these reports provide an opportunity for emerging universities to reflect on their research priorities and developmental strategies. The article concludes with some reflections on the wider consequences of the globalising of the university system, the increase of China's influence in Asia, and ponders the prospect of post-human/ist futures of the humanities.

高校教师视角下的人文社会科学国际发表及其激励制度

在学术国际化和中国哲学社会科学"走出去"的背景下,越来越多的高校对教师发表SSCI和A&HCI论文进行激励。激励制度主要体现在物质奖励和学术评价两个层面。从对国内某研究型大学文科教师深度访谈的情况来看,高校教师对人文社会科学国际发表及其激励制度持不同意见,虽一般不反对对国际发表进行物质奖励,但他们对国际发表在学术评价中的地位的认识存在较大分歧。高校在实施人文社会科学国际发表激励制度的过程中应理解和尊重差异性的存在,关注国际化与本土化的平衡。

Quality criteria of research perceived by academics in social sciences at higher education

The purpose of this study is to examine the problem of research quality in social sciences at higher education. Quality of research produced at higher education started to be questioned more often as research became the major factor determining academics＇ promotion and fund allocation to universities. In the study, we aimed to reveal how academics perceive research quality and what they identify as the main problems that make it difficult to achieve quality in research. Data were collected through interviews with 25 academics from 7 disciplines （educational sciences, sociology, communicational sciences, law, history, management and political science） in 7 universities. Six of the academics interviewed were professors, 7 were associate professors, 10 were assistant professors and 2 were doctors. Interviews were carried out in 2006-2007 and 2007-2008 academic years, and each lasted about one hour on average. Data collected were analyzed through content analysis. Study findings revealed that academics referred most often to methodological issues as the most important quality criterion of research, followed by issues of theoretical background and originality. Academics definitions of sub-criteria related to these were tackled in more detail in the study. As the most important hindrances that make it difficult to achieve quality in research academics mentioned lack of a long-established research culture, problems of research resources and the pressure caused by academic promotion criteria. Some recommendations related to the problems were made to develop research quality in the light of the study findings.     

高校文科科研绩效评价的问题与对策

科研的灵魂是探索未知世界,造福人类社会。目前,高校文科科研绩效评价标准变成追求发表最高级别刊物的论文和申请最多的科研经费,这种异化的科研目标只能将科研引向歧途,针对目前高校文科科研绩效评价存在的问题,分析该问题的成因,并提出一些解决的对策。     

国外高等教育分流与社会分层流动研究的特点及启示

国外高等教育分流与社会分层流动研究起步较早,成效显著,在理论依据、研究目标、研究对象、研究内容、研究方法和研究结论等六个方面呈现出从单一取向向二元(或多元)结合转变的特点.借鉴国外经验,我国高等教育分流与社会分层流动研究要加强基础理论建设,确立以研促建目标,重视社会整体调查,注重多元方法分析,强化互动规律探讨,致力互动机制构建.     

综合国力与哲学社会科学成果

哲学社会科学成果与自然科学成果同样重要，哲学社会科学成果也是综合国力的体现，这是由哲学社会科学的地位所决定的，是由改革开放20多年坚持理论创新取得巨大成就的事实和中国历史史实所证明了的。而以美国为首的西方敌对势力推行的思想化渗透政策的巨大危害，又从反面证明了哲学社会科学成果对综合国力的影响。     

Caught in the triangle of mobility: social,residential and pupil mobility

This article examines the school choices of families who have recently experienced downward mobility during the economic crisis in Spain. Based on semi-structured interviews we analyse the educational strategies of the families in a Bourdieusian framework, focusing on how they cope with the loss of their perceived social status. Prior to the crisis, these families of working-class origin improved their social position as a result of their success in economic capital accumulation with a humble increase in social and cultural capital. Our research suggests that the concerns of families confronted with downward social mobility are manifested in tensions related to their school choice in terms of their strategies of resistance and negotiation with regards to the ownership, social composition and corresponding perceived quality of the school. School can symbolically represent the last resort, an indispensable investment in one’s own future and that of the next generation.     

关于增强普通高校社科学报编辑力的思考

要提高普通高校社科学报的办刊质量和水平,关键在于大力增强学报的整体编辑力。编辑力的增强可以通过检讨学报现行做法,完善和规范专家审稿制度、版面收费行规等来激活;还可以通过实施品牌建设,创新编辑模式,努力创建名刊或名栏、设立栏目主持人等来提升;也可以通过争取学校重视支持、充分发挥编辑主体性,破除高校学报的“马太效应”来检验。     

人文社科本科生科研效能的现状及影响因素研究

本科生科研是令所有专业本科生受益的“十大最具影响力”的教育经历之一。对259位完整参与过至少一次科研活动的人文社科本科生的科研效能分析发现:不同背景的学生,科研效能存在显著差异。控制学生背景的回归分析结果表明:是否团队负责人和参与科研次数对学生的研究能力与技能影响最大;与导师的接触程度和是否团队负责人对学生的批判性思维、人际交往能力影响最大;对读研与从事科研的意愿影响最大的因素是与导师的接触程度和导师风格。为了提高人文社科本科生科研效能,学校应加大宣传力度,增加学生科研参与次数;教师应以学生为主体,加强师生互动;学生可尝试建立团队负责人轮换机制,丰富科研体验。     

河北省高校文科学报编辑策划现状调查与研究

在知识经济扑面而来的创新时代，河北省高校文科学报的编辑策划意识正在逐渐增强，但策划不力的问题仍较严重，具体表现是前期调查准备工作不足，许多策划达不到前瞻性、创造性、整体性、可行性等原则要求，从而影响了学报整体质量和水平的提高，解决这个问题，可以从提升对策划重要意义的认识、大力培养高素质编辑人才和健全策划管理制度等方面着手。     

工科研究型大学人文社科学部构建研究

随着双一流建设的推进,为激发高校学术组织创新活力,中国部分高校逐渐进行学部制改革。学部作为学术分类管理的平台,对指导学科分类、深入民主管理具有重要作用。面对中国工科研究型大学工强文弱的状况,应通过构建人文社科学部来引导和推动人文社科建设,但在学部建设过程中要注意克服发展定位不准、有效融合不够、院部职能协调不清等问题,要对学部进行有效定位,重视其运行模式和组织架构设计。
