In this session, Dr Chris Möller will report on the qualitative findings from the discourse analysis of the panel discussions and show how speakers positioned themselves as experts and justified their ratings through a range of discursive devices and strategies. This invites further discussion about our understanding of group processes and the REF as a situated valuation practice which may reinforce existing inequalities.
