Challenging techno-solutionism in engineering education. Ethical and pedagogical reflections for sustainability
Techno-solutionism in engineering education presents important ethical questions and risks to sustainability. It is necessary to reframe the role of technology in engineering education by evaluating the ethical implications of technologies; thus shifting the focus from “is it technically possible to develop this technology?” to the question “should we develop this technology?”. Ethical engineering education must foster critical and open discussio…
Social robots in care homes in French-speaking Switzerland
The number of elderly people with dementia in nursing homes is increasing in French-speaking Switzerland. This study investigates the use of social robots to improve and/or maintain the quality of life of these subjects, analyzed from the perspective of beneficence. Semi-structured face-to-face interviews were conducted in a selected number of care homes using social robots with their residents in French-speaking Switzerland. The impact of this u…
Repenser autonomie, nature, et durabilité en anthropocène. Perspectives interdisciplinaires
This essay proposes interdisciplinary work converging around a concept (the Anthropocene), a philosophical tradition (phenomenology), and an author (Merleau-Ponty) in order to overcome the limits of intelligibility to which can be confronted approaches that favor a single perspective on these themes, or a single theme approached from different perspectives. The first section of the essay develops a triple return to the foundations of the problem …
Barriers to the implementation of international agreements on the ground
Implementing disaster risk reduction (DRR), climate change adaptation and mitigation (CCA/M), and sustainable development are key to increasing community resilience to pressing climate change risks. Barriers to grassroots implementation of national and international policies are inexorably linked to local contexts, and in-depth understanding of these barriers is crucial in areas greatly impacted by climate change. This research applied an empiric…
The challenges of impact evaluation
Although disaster risk management is becoming increasingly important in development cooperation, there is still a lack of robust evidence regarding its effectiveness. Few studies based on a counterfactual have been conducted in the fields of disaster management and disaster risk reduction. This article describes a methodological approach to enabling more rigorous evidence-based decision-making in community-based disaster risk mitigation, and nota…
Commonalities between Disaster and Climate Change Risks for Health
Disasters and climate change have significant implications for human health worldwide. Both climate change and the climate-sensitive hazards that result in disasters, are discussed in terms of direct and indirect impacts on health. A growing body of literature has argued for the need to link disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation. However, there is limited articulation of the commonalities between these health impacts. Understandin…
