“Wherever there emerge value judgements, classifications and hierarchies there occurs valuation \u2013 social construction of values. Recent years have seen the emergence of a new field of scientific enquiry \u2013 Sociology of Valuation and Evaluation (SVE), which deals with valuation practices in many areas, such as social relations, economics, and knowledge production. It is on this last area that we wish to focus on during a workshop on science.knowledge.[e]valuation.<\/i><\/p>\n

As researchers we encounter (and perform) valuation every day \u2013 be it in assessing our own and other researchers\u2019 work, writing grant proposals, dealing with Higher Education policy and in a host of other situations. But construction of values related to knowledge(s) is by no means limited to academia. We can think of valuation practices taking place in relation to science in non-academic context, but also of construction of values in the political sphere, in economics, education or in every-day micro practices.<\/i><\/p>\n

The two day workshop on science.knowledge.[e]valuation. aims to bring together researchers from Warwick University as well as other institutions in the UK and abroad to reflect on the various practices of valuation which take place in the context of science and knowledge more generally.<\/i><\/p>\n

The proposed areas of reflection are:<\/i>
