Bio-knowledge economies, publics, and sustainable innovation
Theme leader: Brian Wynne
Theme co-leader: Ruth McNally
'Bio-knowledge economics, publics and sustainable innovation' is one of three themes which Cesagen is developing through its research on genomics and related technosciences.
Research under this theme is organised into four subthemes with subtheme leaders (see below).
This theme also leads Cesagen’s digital methods initiative which is called the Sociomics Core Facility
| Subtheme | Subtheme Leaders |
|---|---|
| Sociotechnical imaginaries and political epistemologies of promise | Joan Haran; Maureen McNeil |
| Value, speed, commodification and knowledge | Adrian Mackenzie; Larry Reynolds |
| Publics | Joan Haran; Maureen McNeil |
| Globalisation, sustainable innovation and alternatives | Larry Busch; Richard Twine |
The table below lists the core research team, provides keywords relating to their research, and indicates where their research activities map onto the subthemes.
