ABSTRACT
This chapter explores the relationship between the project's work and the host institution in order to analyse what might commonly be described as 'impact'. It also explores how change within organisations has been discussed in the literature, before moving on to look at ways in which the project exerted an influence on the organisation, and how its work influenced decisions about institutional policy and infrastructure. Actor-Network Theory proposes that scale is a network effect, and that the same principles can be applied to understand why one particular network appears 'bigger' than another, and what their structural effects might be. The individual academics and students who had spoken against the policy had previously been challenged as being unrepresentative. The stable presence of documented experiences added to their network of support and strengthened their claims and their version of reality.
