Fields of work
My research focuses on the emerging relationships between society, science, politics and the economy due to digitization. I think that technology assessment has to participate in the democratic shaping of these relationships and needs to be relevant to different fields of practice. This needs a view towards possible futures and the possibilities of the present for change. But it also needs engaged and participatory forms of research. Concretely this means:
- How is our knowledge changing due to digitization and how can we expand on human strengths such as imagination, creativity and collaboration to shape our digital future.
- How do we achieve new forms of embedding science in society?
- How can we use digital technologies for the common good?
- How can we democratically shape the technological jump that we are living through?
- How can technology assessment become more strong in co-shaping societal futures?
