Qualitative Inquiry in the Neoliberal Public Sphere: Contesting Accountability Metrics

摘要

Based on a critical and constructive dialogue that I articulate drawing from different authors concerned about the differentiated value that is given to academic publications at present, I reflect from the standpoint of a particular Latin American context on how we can meet the demands of governments regarding education and science, contributing to the development of our universities while complying with international and local quality standards, but without losing the sense of an academic career project aimed at generating knowledge in social sciences that can be put at the service of communities that are researched and contribute to the improvement of people's lives.
