“ Over the last few decades, some things have not changed. There’s been no significant break in relations of knowledge production between the colonial and post-colonial eras.

The dilemma for researchers - scholar or public intellectual?  Photo: Kudumomo
Right now we are driven by reward systems linked to ‘publication counts’.... citation counts,
... behind this is a commercial system seeking ever-stronger IP to ensure control over content for maximum profits.. .
Our universities, in particular, should be directing their research focus to address the development and social needs of our communities. The impact of their research should be measured by how much difference it makes to the needs of our communities, rather than by just how many international citations researchers receive in their publications. Speech at the Women in Science Awards,  August 2009
[There is] the need for an education and training system that fosters the values of social solidarity and caring, in order to confront the ideological companion of neo-liberalism, that of promoting greed and selfishness...
