“…However, the literature has privileged the study of rankings and the effects of their visualization in the consumer economy (Jeacle & Carter, 2011;Kornberger, 2017;Pollock & D'Adderio, 2012), in commodified higher education domains (Espeland & Sauder, 2007;Free, Salterio, & Shearer, 2009;Hazelkorn, 2011), and in public service delivery (e.g., Bevan & Wilson, 2013).
