On intersecting modes of responsibility in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand: A case for reimagining responsible innovation
This Perspective considers the potential value and limitations of introducing Responsible Innovation approaches from the Global North into Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand. We reflect on the relationship of predominantly Western European understandings of responsibility and endogenous ‘Antipodean’ forms of responsibility, including Indigenous relationalities, collective stewardship, and care that extends to more-than-human worlds. Commencing a …
Opening up, closing down, or leaving ajar? How applications are used in engaging with publics about gene drive
Public engagement and responsible innovation are strongly emphasised in gene drive research, together with the goal of addressing societal challenges, notably, malaria and environmental conservation. We aim to explore whether public engagement is used to ‘open up' or ‘close down' opportunities to shape gene drive research. Drawing on interviews with gene drive developers and stakeholders, we investigate how the public communication of gene drive …
Who cares? How care practices uphold the decentralised energy order
This paper represents the decentralised energy order as a matter of care: so as to make visible the unequal burden of care and to encourage active caring. It extends an emerging overlap that exists in studies of repair and maintenance of material objects from science and technology studies (STS) and an increasing interest in the creation and maintenance of relationships of care in energy systems. Inspiration is drawn from feminist STS work that c…
Public engagement in biosciences and biotechnologies: Reflections on the role of sociology and STS
Approaches to public engagement in biosciences and biotechnologies have been informed by work done by sociologists and science and technology studies (STS) scholars, in particular their critiques of traditional elitist and technocratic approaches to science policy. In this article, we analyse one attempt at institutionalising public engagement in Australia, and focus on points of tension between different actors. We explore the roles of social sc…
Enhancing innovation in agriculture at the policy level: The potential contribution of Technology Assessment
Improving Legitimacy in Nanotechnology Policy Development Through Stakeholder and Community Engagement: Forging New Pathways
This paper reports on a multistakeholder engagement process conducted in an Australian policy setting that led to a new community engagement framework: Science and Technology Engagement Pathways (STEP). I describe the process in the context of a lack of awareness, experience, and culture of deliberative public engagement in Australia, particularly in relation to decision making concerning science, technology, and innovation. Increasing cautiousne…
Technology Assessment in Social Context: The case for a new framework for assessing and shaping technological developments
Traditional expert (or technocratic) approaches to Technology Assessment have been fundamentally challenged by two observations. The first is that social impacts are not side effects of technology; they are core dimensions of new technology and technological development, and are a function of the coproduction of technology and society. As such, they can only be understood in social, not technical terms. Secondly, technological developments are dr…
Technology assessment in Australia: The case for a formal agency to improve advice to policy makers
The pace and reach of technological change has led to calls for better technology policy and governance to improve social outcomes. Technology assessment can provide information and processes to improve technology policy. Having conducted a review of international best practice, we established a set of quality criteria for TA. In effect, good technology assessments are systematic, broad, inclusive and well resourced and are conducted by organisat…
