Why We Need Ethnographies in and of the Academy: Reflexivity, Time, and the Academic Anthropologist at Work
Keywords:
anthropology of academia, neoliberalism, reflexivity, science policyAbstract
The 21st century academy is changing the conditions
of possibility for producing anthropological knowledge. Ethno
graphic studies of the academy are few yet do provide points
of departure for anthropologists to consider the specificities of
their home institutions and its effects on anthropological prac
tice. Audit cultures, bureaucracies of virtue, discourses of
"excellence" and regimes of intellectual property management
are recognized as spreading, but unevenly. This article encour
ages considering tensions between being an academic anthro
pologist who happens to be an employee and an employee who
happens to be an academic anthropologist and considering
how active transformations of the academy also transform
anthropology.
