SUMMARY:STEPS Seminar: Ilse Oosterlaken
DESCRIPTION:Technology Design\, Socio-Technical Networks and the Creation of Individual Human Capabilities: The Case of a ‘Local Content\, Local Voice’ Podcasting Project in Zimbabwe \nIlse Oosterlaken\nDelft University of Technology / 3TU Centre for Ethics and Technology \nThe seminar uses the case of the ‘local content\, local voice’ podcasting project on livestock management\, implemented by Practical Action (formerly ITDG) in Zimbabwe\, to illustrate (a) what normative perspective that the capability approach (CA) of Sen and Nussbaum – which centrally acknowledged the pervasiveness of human diversity – offers on technological development interventions\, and (b) the role of both technological design and socio-technical networks in expanding the valuable individual human capabilities that the CA holds to be of central moral importance. \n \nTo get a proper understanding of such expansion\, so it will be argued\, the CA needs to be supplemented with insights from e.g. Science and Technology Studies and the Appropriate Technology movement. Finally\, the talk also briefly addresses how broader politics may subtly influence technological choice/design\, with implications for development outcomes. \nAll are welcome to attend.

SUMMARY:ICSU Forum on Science\, Technology and Innovation for Sustainable Development
DESCRIPTION:Melissa Leach\, STEPS Centre director\, will be among the speakers at a side event at this 5-day conference in Rio de Janeiro. \nThe session is entitled “To Cross a Widening Gulf: New Patterns and Practices of Science for Sustainability”. The other speakers are Myanna Lahsen and Stephen Zehr. \n \nAbout the session: \nWhile scientists are warning that Earth’s vital processes are imperiled\, threatening humans and their environments\, societies have been reluctant to heed and change course. The widening gulf between knowledge and action impedes efforts to find and follow a sustainable pathway. This poses a grand challenge for interdisciplinary scholarship. Speakers will analyze the character and causes of this disconnect\, and propose strategies to close it by creating\, directing\, and distributing knowledge and technology in new ways. Doing so will require integrating insights and approaches from the social sciences and humanities with those from the natural sciences and engineering. \nSpeakers: \n\nMyanna Lahsen\, Center for Earth System Science\, Brazilian Institute for Space Research\, Brazil\nMelissa Leach\, STEPS Centre\nStephen Zehr\, University of Southern Indiana\, USA

SUMMARY:Transforming Innovation for Sustainability at Rio+20
DESCRIPTION:16 June 14.00-15.30\nSTEPS Centre and Stockholm Resilience Centre have convened a session  ‘Transforming Innovation for Sustainability’ within the two-day IIED ‘Fair Ideas’ event. \nSpeakers: \n\nGlauco Arbix (Brazilian Ministry of Science and Technology)\nLidia Brito (UNESCO)\nMelissa Leach (STEPS Centre)\nJohan Rockstrom (Stockholm Resilience Centre)\nKevin Urama (African Technology Policy Studies Network)\n\nInformed by the STEPS Centre’s ‘3D agenda’ for innovation and the Stockholm Resilience Centre’s work on ‘planetary boundaries’\, this session will focus on new approaches to governing innovation that give more power to the grassroots to address social and economic aspirations\, whilst also keeping within the ‘safe operating space for humanity’.  An institutional framework that fosters innovation for local\, national and global sustainable development objectives may be a key theme at Rio+20\, but guiding principles for such a framework are proving elusive. The session will hear proposals from an international panel of leading researchers and practitioners who are closely engaged with these debates. \nParticipation in the Fair Ideas event is free\, but you are encouraged to register in advance: see www.fairideas.org for the full programme and registration details.
