Technologies
Technologies, our conceptual lense
We examine how technologies, as part of socio-material practices and regimes, mediate and influence how we interpret and govern environmental challenges.
We develop knowledge and methods that contribute to reflexive forms of sustainability governance through and of technologies. Reflexive means anticipating and responding to the various environmental and societal effects of technologies for sustainability, with the aim of creating sustainable and equitable outcomes.
Questions we ask
How do technologies for sustainability shape what gets governed, how, and by whom, and what are the socio-political and environmental implications?
How do public and private actors interpret and address the (sustainability) risks of new and emergent technologies, and what approaches are developed to govern these risks?
