Resumo

A excelência na ciência é definida como um processo neutro para a seleção e o reconhecimento das teorias e pesquisas mais valiosas. Este princípio está baseado na metrização da vida acadêmica através do uso de critérios universais que apoiam o jogo justo [fair play] e a igualdade de oportunidades. No entanto, as teorias feministas têm reclamado que a organização da ciência baseada na excelência nunca é neutra nem objetiva. A meritocracia reproduz as desigualdades de todas as estruturas sociais, particularmente daquelas relacionadas com os estereótipos de gênero e com as barreiras na avaliação de carreiras de pesquisa e nos resultados da pesquisa. Neste artigo, propomos que a excelência no conhecimento só ocorre quando o gênero e a ciência são criados processualmente.
