Abstract

The university in Iran has a problematic situation and researchers have so far expressed and formulated this problem in different ways. This situation is more obvious for humanities and social sciences because these sciences are more contextualized. The purpose of this research is to get a close-up and field picture of the situation of these sciences in Iran by analyzing the lived experience of a number of humanities faculty members of one of the provincial universities. For this purpose, the strategy of grounded theory was used. The statistical community of the research is made up of all the faculty members of different fields of humanities and social sciences of Yazd University, from among them 20 people were selected in a purposeful and theoretical manner and a semi-structured interview was conducted with them and the interviews were conducted until data saturation was reached. Data were analyzed using open, axial and selective coding techniques. The findings indicate that the members of the faculty of humanities and social sciences in Yazd University imagine themselves under a ceiling, one dimension of which is the narrowness of livelihood, one dimension is the limitations and considerations of ideology, and the other dimension is the limitations and It creates bureaucratic pressures. The two strategies of the humanities and social sciences faculty members in the university in facing this phenomenon are instrumental view of science and university, and silence and indifference regarding the issues of the country, especially the official agendas of the government.
