How do academic organizations select candidates?

Kathia Serrano Velarde and I have studied the textual dramaturgy of organizational evaluation in two settings: grantmakers selecting candidates for funding and universities selecting candidates for professorships.

Due to its historical perspective, the analysis also traces the emergence of the figure of the "candidate" in academia.

I have uploaded the preprint to @SocArXivBot. Forthcoming in Valuation Studies!
