Abstract:
Being ‘REF-able’. The impact agenda. The student experience. University audit culture has infiltrated academic life, but how should we respond?
Drawing on a five-year Institutional Ethnography of UK universities, Órla Meadhbh Murray will provide a feminist take on the neoliberal university and abolitionist reflections on audit culture.
