Intervention: the impact agenda and human geography in UK higher education
journal contribution
posted on 2014-03-05, 13:19 authored by Amanda Rogers, Christopher Bear, Mia Hunt, Sarah MillsSarah Mills, Rebecca SandoverOur focus in this intervention is on the critical yet diverse ways the recent
impact agenda has been understood, approached, engaged with or resisted by
geographers. In particular, we have brought this intervention together to think
through some of the relationships impact has with and beyond social and cultural
geography. Impact has become rapidly institutionalized within the UK Higher
Education sector’s ever evolving culture of audit and corporatisation and has
become directly linked to the amount of government funding universities receive.
In this introduction, we outline the key aspects of impact as they have been
constructed through the UK Research Excellence Framework (REF) before
discussing some of the debates around this issue. Finally, we highlight central
themes that have emerged through the position papers presented in this
intervention.
