Who's Creating Knowledge?
The challenge of non-university researchers
Professor Frank Webster, Department of Sociology, City University London,
Professor Dorothy Noyes, College of Humanities, Ohio State University,
and Dr Mike Heyworth, Director, British Council for Archaeology
Chair: Professor Ruth Finnegan, FBA, The Open University

London, SW1Y 5AH
Is the university the primary site for the creation and authorising of
knowledge? That is commonly the conventional view. But in practice large
numbers of independent and non-academic researchers are enthusiastically
engaged in the production and establishment of knowledge outside university
walls. The panel will discuss the issues raised by the work of these often
'invisible' creators of knowledge, operating as they do across a wide
diversity of fields of research, from family history to ornithology,
astronomy to biography, philosophy to archaeology - and much else. Do such
researchers present a challenge to the still often-assumed monopoly of the
university over the production and validation of knowledge? Despite the
obstacles they face are they perhaps following a more open route to
knowledge production than in the increasingly constrained setting of
university research today? Do we need to rethink the central role of the
university in the establishment of knowledge? And may important new
processes of knowledge-creation be emerging through the interactive
potential of the internet for bypassing established university controls and
evading the traditional gatekeepers to the publication and dissemination of
knowledge?
