Food Insecurity in Amsterdam Noord
Urban food insecurity in high‐income countries is rising, and its health outcomes and determinants have been well documented. There are, however, limited qualitative, place‐based studies of how people become, or remain, food insecure, especially in EU cities. This article introduces infrastructural violence to explore the complexities of food insecurity and its underlying (infra)structural causes in the urban food environment of Amsterdam’s north…
Transformative urban food governance
Cities are crucial settings for initiating efforts at instigating sustainable and just food system transformations. While municipalities worldwide are increasingly active in food policymaking for such change, the ability of municipal staff to carry out governance tasks is scarcely studied. This study examines the experiences of municipal staff mandated by an EU-funded project to coordinate urban living labs (ULLs) as sites of urban food governanc…
Labbing for sustainability transformations
Creating impact in labs oriented at sustainability transformations is challenging. Combining the experiences of ten projects and sharing the insights in “Labbing”, gained through engaging in various activities within transformation-oriented Labs from the fields of agriculture, food, and healthcare, the author team established a Community of Practice at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, to identify impact challenges inductively and recommend pract…
Small wins in practice
Small, incremental changes often go unnoticed in systems transformation processes. • The Small Wins Framework assess the transformative potential of such progress. • Small wins may manifest differently in different geographical and social contexts. • Social, political, and economic shocks seen as accelerators of change. • Applied framework likely to be more effective as a reflexive monitoring tool. In this study, we examine how 16 initiatives acr…
Guiding visions of corporate smart city innovators
Since the smart city vision increasingly shapes our urban life globally, it becomes ever more urgent to integrate participatory futuring in ongoing smart city-related technology development. This study aimed to find starting points for such integration by unraveling the ‘guiding visions’ of corporate technological innovators in the smart mobility and transport sector around Amsterdam. We conducted and analyzed interviews with innovators from 12 s…
Art for public engagement on emerging and controversial technologies
Art is increasingly used to engage publics on emerging and controversial technologies, but we still know little about what works in art-based engagement and why. To investigate what art can do for public engagement, we systematically reviewed academic work published from 2000 to 2018 about the effect of art on organized public engagement. We used the dimensions of Responsible Research and Innovation as an analytical framework to identify what out…
Frame Reflection Lab
Synthetic biology is an emerging technology that asks for inclusive reflection on how people frame the field. To unravel how we can facilitate such reflection, this study evaluates the Frame Reflection Lab (FRL). Building upon playfulness design principles, the FRL comprises a workshop with video-narratives and co-creative group exercises. We studied how the FRL facilitated frame reflection by organizing workshops with various student groups. Ana…
Conceptualizing playfulness for reflection processes in responsible research and innovation contexts
Playfulness supports people in learning. This study synthesizes a framework for playfulness for one particular type of learning: responsible research and innovation (RRI) reflection processes. Playfulness design elements were extracted from literature about playfulness in various learning and reflection contexts, by inductive coding of playfulness conceptualizations, playful tool(s) descriptions and their effects. We extracted four activity princ…
Supporting Citizens in Reflection on Synthetic Biology by Means of Video-Narratives
To unravel how video-narratives can support reflection in Responsible Research and Innovation contexts, this study evaluates four video-narratives designed for citizen-reflection on synthetic biology. Each video narrative comprised separate clips about three subtopics in which actors represented different views of synthetic biology. The video-clips were presented to Dutch citizens in two different setups: per narrator and per subtopic. Both setup…
Hybrid e-learning tool TransLearning
E-learning and storytelling approaches can support informal vicarious learning within geographically widely distributed multi-stakeholder collaboration networks. This case study evaluates hybrid e-learning and video-storytelling approach ‘TransLearning’ by investigation into how its storytelling e-tool supported informal vicarious learning, while it was applied in multi-stakeholder collaborations called ‘Regional Ateliers’. TransLearning was mean…
