Conference: Public Engagement and the Politics of Evidence in an Age of Neoliberalism and Audit Culture July 23-25, 2015 Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada Hosted by the University of Regina, this symposium will examine accelerating trends in higher education: neoliberalism, the politics of evidence, and the audit culture. In an age in which value is often equated with accountancy, we will examine the place in the academy for public intellectualism, community-engagement, Indigenous epistemologies, and how the impact of our scholarship is, and ought to be, justly assessed. Invited presenters will provoke lively discussion, but going beyond discussion, and blurring the lines between presenter and audience member, participants will be invited to engage actively with other presenter/participants in attendance for the purpose of effecting changes at their home institutions. Opportunities will be available for reconsidering and strategizing academic issues such as faculty criteria documents, measurement rankings, traditional impact factors, and other academic matters affected by the politics of austerity, neoliberalism, and new management technologies. Presenters will include: Budd Hall, Peter McLaren, Norman K. Denzin, Michelle Fine, Yvonna S. Lincoln, and Joel Westheimer, and many others. For more information, please visit: politicsofevidence.ca.
