Reformism and Evaluation in the Field of Social and Political Sciences. Consequences for the Academic Community, Projects, People
After the introduction of the most recent University evaluation reforms,
this article aims at presenting the first findings of a research project on these
reforms and the evaluation processes carried out so far in the field of social and
political sciences. In particular, the research wishes to investigate the relational
dynamics, the behaviors and the values of the academic profession with special
attention to the scientific activity, but without putting aside the implications
for the teaching, management and the “third mission” activities. Inserted in the
line of studies on higher education and evaluation well consolidated in Italy,
the research is characterized by the added value of connecting the criticaltheoretical
level to the empirical one.
