Bioknowledge Economies, Publics and Sustainable Innovations

Theme Leaders: Ruth McNally and Maureen McNeil

At Cesagen we:

• Explore theoretical understandings and conceptualisations of genomics and related technosciences, including representations and performances of publics
• Investigate scientific imaginaries as they circulate through fiction, popular scientific narratives and biography/memoir
• Consider how value, speed, commodification and knowledge intersect with climate change, energy and food security
• Study genomic innovation in the context of globalisations, suggested paths to sustainability and alternatives to genomic trajectories
• Use large scale digital datasets for innovative and critical social, economic and policy analysis
