From Fake News to Echo-Chambers: On The Limitations of New Media for Environmental Activism in Australia, and “Activist-Responsive Adaptation”
For environmental activism, new media are now essential campaign tools to better protect the environment and enhance sustainability. The literature, however, poses some limitations for such purpose. Prominently, increasing concentration of new media ownership, and government digital surveillance; also ones of communication. Given little attention to new media limitations for Australian environmental activism or internationally, our focus was to b…
The Fukushima Effect: A New Geopolitical Terrain
In Nuclear Disaster at Fukushima Daiichi: Social, Political and Environmental Issues (Hindmarsh 2013), Richard Hindmarsh identified Fukushima as a “new type of major nuclear disaster marking the close interactivity of the social, technological and natural disaster” (Hindmarsh 2013: 217). Contributors to this follow-up volume, The Fukushima Effect: A New Geopolitical Terrain, have investigated the international effect of the Fukushima disaster thr…

Hot air ablowin! ‘Media-speak’, social conflict, and the Australian ‘decoupled’ wind farm controversy
In work in science, technology, and society social conflict around wind farms has a growing profile, not least because it draws our attention to two key interrelated themes: 'science, technology and governance' and 'socio-technological systems'. In this article on Australian wind farm development and siting, these themes are highlighted in contexts of sustainability, legitimacy, and competency for policy effectiveness. There is enduring social co…

The public inquiry as a contested political technology: GM crop moratorium reviews in Australia
In 2007, the Australian states of Victoria and New South Wales held reviews of their moratoriums on the commercial release of genetically modified (GM) food crops. The public inquiry form of review selected offered the best strategic pathway to amend these moratoriums to allow commercial release. As such, the reviews represented ‘political technologies’. This proposition is informed by: their formation within a policy context of pro-GM developmen…
Wind Farms and Community Engagement in Australia: A Critical Analysis for Policy Learning
In late 2007, after signing the Kyoto Protocol, a new Australian federal government committed to generating 20% of Australia's electricity from renewable energy by 2020, for a transition to a low-carbon economy. With wind energy the most viable technology for such expansion, little recognition, however, was paid to intense social conflict surrounding wind farm location. By 2006, inadequate community engagement had emerged as the primary governanc…
Engaging across Boundaries—emerging Practices in ‘Technical Democracy’
This special issue examines strategies for public engagement in science and technology issues in Australia, Japan and Aotearoa/New Zealand. It traverses issues relating to new energy technologies, food nanotechnology, the environmental impacts of dioxins, toxic waste disposal, genetic modification and the way scientists engage with the social dimensions of new biotechnologies. The papers look critically at engagement across scientist/non-scientis…

A Three-Stage Evaluation of a Deliberative Event on Climate Change and Transforming Energy
Formulating deliberative evaluation tools indicates an important new field for the practitioner of deliberative design due to the increasing adoption of deliberative policy mechanisms by governmental and non-governmental organisations. Evaluation tools aid the design, effectiveness and deliberative integrity and legitimacy of these mechanisms. Relatively few studies though have reflected on how to conduct evaluation. Here, we report on our formul…
The new civic geography of life sciences governance: Transitions and trajectories in Australia and New Zealand
Australian biocivic concerns and governance of forensic DNA technologies: Confronting technocracy
The creation of forensic DNA databases and the uses of DNA profiling for criminal investigation are significant fields for life sciences governance. Despite the pressing need for civic input on the human rights and privacy issues associated with rapid expansion of forensic databases, there have been limited opportunities for citizens to debate these issues. Against the global expansion of these technologies, this paper investigates the case of Au…
GMO regulation and civic participation at the “edge of the world”: The case of Australia and New Zealand
Civic participation in decision-making about the regulation of genetically modified organisms has become increasingly important in both Australia and New Zealand. This paper explores the somewhat uneven emergence of public participation in discussion and decision-making about GMOs in these different, but closely related contexts. Accounts of public engagement with decision-making about the regulation of GMOs are juxtaposed with critical reflectio…
Interdisciplinary foundations: Reflecting on interdisciplinarity and three decades of teaching and research at Griffith University, Australia
Interdisciplinarity is widely practised and theorised. However, relatively few studies have reflected on university‐wide attempts to foster the concept. This article examines interdisciplinary teaching and learning at Griffith University, Australia. It reflects on the foundations of interdisciplinarity at the university and situates them within the broader context of innovations in worldwide practice; it draws from the literature on interdiscipli…

Agrobiotechnology in Australia: Issues of Control, Collaboration and Sustainability
To date, the debate on agrobiotechnological change in Australia has focused largely on the commercial aspects, and more recently the regulatory aspects, of the technology. Policy-makers have relied heavily on overseas trends, as well as proponent scientists and industry, to formulate R&D policy, and privatisation to implement policy. As a result, many social, political and environmental issues have been neglected. To correct this imbalance, and t…
