Couldn't agree more. If we were attempting to assess the value of something one of us had produced, "impact" would be a lousy way to do it. Granted, it's what's done in academia, but I didn't read the original query as necessarily an effort to build academic rep.


There are a great many ways to get one's work noticed by the public at large, and very few of them follow established academic channels. Self-publishing is one (but only one) of those ways, although Lambert probably isn't the best choice here.


Two colleagues of mine and I run a workshop every year at SfAA dealing with bringing the work of anthropologist practitioners to a wider (ie, non-academic) audience, and if anyone would like to see the materials, let me know.


Best wishes,

Sure, but it's because of the narrow-minded market-oriented view of
'impact' which our funding councils have, that our discipline and
universities in general have turned into such dire spaces to work in...
It's a very tricky subject how one can resist this tendency, and early
career scholars volunteering their work into vanity publishers as Lambert
are not in the best position to do that.
But that said, especially senior/tenured scholars should really think of
how much they try to fit these impact criteria, and reinforce them in
recruitment processes, and that is a very serious conversation we need to
have across the discipline.
