Going into a marginalized community and saying “I’m sorry I don’t know if this is going to be useful at all to you (my definition of impact)” is just not enough. I know we can’t always predict it, but unless we seriously think, plan, and want it, we’re not doing ethical research in such contexts imho.

It is ok that research fields and bigger units are forced to identify and tell about the impact of their work. Forcing individual researchers do it in every proposal is questionable.

Panel is for professors, padlet is for postdocs.

What kind of criteria would be valid for measuring impact? Immediate responses? Long term change? Popularizing science or genuine attempts to open up the academy?

Impact vs manipulation?

Maybe the measure for impact should not be determined by researchers but by communities, etc.

I, too, am wondering if the academic structures actually encourage societal impact of research. I, as a postdoc, feel I'll be in a better position employability-wise if I concentrate on writing papers and limit my public services, as they call it Sole, to a required minimum.

Evaluating future impact in research proposals is almost equivalent with evaluating how self-sure the person making the proposal is. So it is an evaluation of the temperament rather than an idea.

How do we determine if the impact of our research is benefial for society?

Profiling is a funny word. Some people may be more familiar with it from a context of law enforcement where people are (illegally) discriminated against based on a profile they supposedly match that is often heavily racialized, gendered etc. In what ways are profiling areas profiling? Not just in regards to what areas we (dont) support but in a self-reflexive sense of looking at our epistemological, collaborative, and recruitment blindspots, etc. (#profilingsowhite)

Is there a space for societal impact work in the current research policies and practises? Is it risky for some in academia? Rewarded vs penalized?
