Systems of Status Symbolism in Academic World
Project coordinator: Michael Sokolov
Systems
of symbols of academic status are one of the main
components of the entire institutional organization of modern
science. Scientists are
divided into status groups that have a monopoly on certain positions in the academic labor market (the
monopoly of specialists in a certain branch of learning, positions that are available only for those
who are not below a
certain rank, etc.) and those who claim for recognition and attention to their
work. Belonging to the status group is determined by having symbols associated
with that position - scientific
degrees, citation indexes, publications in periodicals with a certain reputation, "quality" of affiliations and activities, in which X was
involved, and so on and so forth.

After conducting a pilot study, this tool can be used to monitor the quality of teaching in other universities. At the moment, design and questionnaire instrument of a new project dedicated to the analysis of the shaping of scientific interests and social networks of students are being developed.
