  1. The Typology of the Game that American, British, and Danish Crop and Plant Scientists Play.Mercy W. Kamara - 2009 - Minerva 47 (4):441-463.
    Drawing from contemporary social science studies on the shifting regime of research governance, this paper extends the literature by utilizing a metaphoric image—research is a game—observed in a field engagement with 82 American, British, and Danish crop and plant scientists. It theorizes respondents’ thinking and practices by placing the rules of the research game in dynamic and interactive tension between the scientific, social, and political-economic contingencies that generate opportunities or setbacks.

  • Transnational Mobility and International Academic Employment: Gatekeeping in an Academic Competition Arena. [REVIEW]Brendan Cantwell - 2011 - Minerva 49 (4):425-445.
    This article draws upon concepts developed in recent empirical and theoretical work on high skilled and academic mobility and migration including accidental mobility, forced mobility and negotiated mobility. These concepts inform a situated, qualitative study of mobility among international postdoctoral researchers in life sciences and engineering fields who were employed at US and UK universities in 2008 and 2009. Informed by epistemological methods in the Foucauldian tradition of discourse and governmentality, the study explores how policy discourse and technologies empower and (...)
