ABSTRACT
Moreover, I have argued (see Giardina & Newman, 2014) that these above questions turn on the politics of research, of being acutely aware of how and to what extent: (1) the cultural and political priorities of the neoliberal corporate university impact, direct, and/or confound the conduct of research; (2) politics situate methodologies; (3) the research act is impinged on by such particularities as Institutional Review Boards (IRBs), national funding councils like the National Science Foundation (NSF), or National Institutes of Health (NIH), scholarly journals, and the promotion and tenure process; and (4) how and where we as academics fit within this new paradigm (Giardina & Newman, 2014, p. 700).
