“…Two job postings state that this is a criterion, because Assistant Professors are supposed to teach in English. This is similar in Nordic higher education, in which English language instruction has become commonplace (Airey et al 2017), as Anglophone is considered the norm in higher education and non-Anglophone languages, different or peripheral (Meriläinen et al 2008). However, the recruitment protocol and job postings reveal that applicants are also requested to master the Dutch language, or do so within 2 years into the tenure-track.…”

Selecting early-career researchers: the influence of discourses of internationalisation and excellence on formal and applied selection criteria in academia

This article examines how macro-discourses of internationalisation and excellence shape formal and applied selection criteria for early-career researcher positions at the mesoorganisational and micro-individual levels, demonstrating how tensions between the various levels produce inequalities in staff evaluation. In this way, this article contributes to the literature on academic staff evaluation by showing that Selection Committee members do not operate in a vacuum, and that their actions are inextricably linked to the meso-and macrocontext. This study draws on qualitative multi-level data that comprise institutional-level policies, recruitment and staff protocols, job postings and individual-level interviews and focus groups with Selection Committee members. Findings show that a majority of Selection Committee members consent to university policies and macro-discourses when evaluating early-career researchers, but a smaller group questions and resists these criteria. Furthermore, the analysis revealed four inequalities that emerge in the application of criteria and reflect on disciplinary differences between the Natural and Social Sciences. The article concludes that with only a few Committee members to critically question and resist formal selection criteria, they limit the pool of acceptable candidates to those who fit the narrow definition of the internationally mobile and excellent early-career researcher, which may exclude talented scholars.

“…Alcadipani, 2010;Alcadipani and Rosa, 2011;Kipping et al, 2008;Westwood and Jack, 2008). Actually, using 'periphery' in relation to management and organization knowledge involves an additional problem, since even Western countries can be considered 'peripheral' to the US style of management theorization and education (Meriläinen et al, 2008). For example, management education in different European countries, even in the UK, has suffered a process of Americanization (cf.…”

“…Dentro dessa perspectiva crítica, Ortiz (2004) Com o domínio do idioma inglês, os pesquisadores do Norte se colocam numa posição privilegiada, já que conseguem controlar toda a produção e o fluxo de informação científica por meio dos canais de distribuição (periódicos) e das agências voltadas para o financiamento de determinados temas de pesquisa (MERILÄINEN e outros, 2008). Assim, se o pesquisador do Sul deseja participar dessas arenas, e, como consequência, ocupar posições de poder no centro do campo científico, deve, necessariamente, abandonar a sua língua nativa e submeter-se à língua hegemôni-ca.…”

O objetivo deste artigo é questionar se o conhecimento em gestão e organização (CGO) pode falar um idioma diferente do Inglês e discutir como a hegemonia deste idioma no campo científico tem contribuí-do para a reprodução da mesma lógica colonial que por séculos impediu os nativos de produzirem sentido acerca do que pensavam, falavam e escreviam. Mostramos que o principal instrumento de poder que garante esta hegemonia é o controle dos crité-rios de publicação e circulação do CGO, que tende a marginalizar tudo o que é produzido fora da base linguística controlada pelo Norte. O principal efeito desta lógica é a submissão dos pesquisadores nativos ao controle do Norte, colocando-os na condição subalterna, condenados em sua própria terra a operar segundo uma lógica externa, que define o que é e o que não é conhecimento científico de qualidade na área de gestão e organização.RESUMO PALAVRAS-CHAVE Pós-colonialismo, produção científica, translocalidade, conhecimento científico, língua inglesa. ARTIGO CONVIDADOAbstract This paper's objective is to question whether management and organization knowledge (MOK) is able to speak a language other than English and discuss how the hegemony of this language in the scientific field has contributed to the reproduction of the same colonial logic that for centuries prevented native peoples from making sense of what they thought, spoke and wrote. We show that the main instrument of power that guarantees this hegemony is control over the criteria used for the publication and circulation of MOK, which tends to marginalize everything that is produced outside the linguistic basis controlled by the North. The main effect of this logic is that native researchers submit to control by the North; they find themselves in a subaltern position, condemned in their own country to operate under an external logic that defines what is and what is not quality scientific knowledge in the management and organizational field. keywords Post-colonialism, scientific production, translocality, scientific knowledge, English language.
