Facilitating Watershed Management
Facilitating Watershed Management brings together myriad distinctive voices to create an experiential learning process drawn from the most important innovators in the field. Presenting an introduction to the diversity of tools (sociological, pedagogical, phenomenological) needed to implement watershed management in the real world trenches, the book helps move students and practitioners from being knowledgeable stewards of watersheds to becoming wise managers of watersheds.
Dreamscapes of Modernity
"Dreamscapes of Modernity" introduces and develops the concept of "sociotechnical imaginaries," demonstrating how it helps explain the divergent ways in which states and societies conceptualize futures achievable through and supportive of advances in science and technology. The book s case studieswhich range over health security, Apartheid, rice biotechnology, Indonesian activism, and moreillustrate how different imaginations of social life and order are created in concert with imaginations of the goals, priorities, benefits, and risks of science and technologyat scales ranging from national to global. The concept of sociotechnical imaginaries adds to the theoretical repertoire of the social...
Constructing Scientific Understanding Through Contextual Teaching
Learning by Doing" is about the history of experimentation in science education. The teaching of science through experiments and observation is essential to the natural sciences and its pedagogy. These have been conducted as both demonstration or as student exercises. The experimental method is seen as giving the student vital competence, skills and experiences, both at the school and at the university level. This volume addresses the historical development of experiments in science education, which has been largely neglected so far. The contributors of "Learning by Doing" pay attention to various aspects ranging from economic aspects of instrument making for science teaching, to the political meanings of experimental science education from the 17th to the 20th century. This collected volume opens the field for further debate by emphasizing the importance of experiments for both, historians of science and science educators. [Présentation de l'éditeur].
The Government of Things
"Critically engaging with some limitations of new materialist scholarship, Lemke draws on Foucault's concept of a "government of things" to propose a relational understanding of political ontologies"--
Past and Present Energy Societies
Abundant, salutary, problematic - energy makes history. As a symbol, resource and consumer good, it shapes technologies, politics, societies and cultural world views. Focussing on a range of energy types, from electricity and oil to bioenergy, this volume analyzes the social, cultural and political concepts and discourses of energy and their implementation and materialization within technical systems, applications, media representations and consumer practice. By examining and connecting production, mediation and consumption aspects from an international and interdisciplinary perspective, the book offers an innovative view on how energy is imagined, discussed, staged and used.
Ambivalences of Creating Life
"Synthetic biology" is the label of a new technoscientific field with many different facets and agendas. One common aim is to "create life", primarily by using engineering principles to design and modify biological systems for human use. In a wider context, the topic has become one of the big cases in the legitimization processes associated with the political agenda to solve global problems with the aid of (bio-)technological innovation. Conceptual-level and meta-level analyses are needed: we should sort out conceptual ambiguities to agree on what we talk about, and we need to spell out agendas to see the disagreements clearly. The book is based on the interdisciplinary summer school "Analyzing the societal dimensions of synthetic biology", which took place in Berlin in September 2014. The contributions address controversial discussions around the philosophical examination, public perception, moral evaluation and governance of synthetic biology.
reboot ING
RebootING zielt auf Innovationen der ingenieurwissenschaftlichen Lehre, durch die Studierende der Ingenieurwissenschaften Gender- und Diversity-Kompetenzen erwerben können. In diesen Disziplinen gilt es überkommende Geschlechter- und Technikvorstellungen zu revidieren und Studiengänge und Berufsbilder zu aktualisieren. Wie dies erfolgreich umgesetzt werden kann, stellen die Beiträge des Bandes anhand erprobter Lehrkonzepte und gelungener Formen der Institutionalisierung vor. Diskutiert werden konzeptuelle Grundlagen und Strategien. Damit weist der Band einem notwendigen Paradigmenwechsel den Weg. (Quelle: buch.ch).
Gender & Diversity Studies in MINT meets Naturwissenschaftsdidaktik
Gender und dessen Zusammenwirken mit weiteren Diversity-Dimensionen wie etwa soziale Herkunft, ein (zugeschriebener) Migrationshintergrund oder sexuelle Orientierung stehen an Hochschulen verstärkt im Fokus. Gefordert sind dabei auch gender- und diversitysensible Ausrichtungen der Forschung und Lehre der MINT-Fächer sowie der hochschulischen Lehramtsausbildung für MINT. Welche inhaltliche Relevanz haben Gender- und Diversity-Aspekte in Fachkultur, Forschungsinhalten sowie im Wissenschaftsverständnis der Naturwissenschaften? Wie strukturieren Geschlecht und andere soziale Differenzkategorien die Forschung? Wie kann eine Gender- und Diversity-Kompetenzen vermittelnde Lehrer*innenbildung au...
Respekt!
Anlässlich des 100. Jubiläums der Universität Hamburg widmet sich der umfangreich Sammelband der Geschichte von Frauen und der Frauen- und Geschlechterforschung an der Universität Hamburg: Von den ersten Wissenschaftlerinnen und Studentinnen, über das erste Frauenseminar bis zu den heutigen Forschungsprojekten und Institutionen. Die Originaldokumente (Flugblätter, Plakate, Notizen, Briefe etc.), Interviews und Beiträge spiegeln die Rahmenbedingungen, Motivationen und Aktionen einzelner Akteurinnen und Gruppen mit Schwerpunkt ab den 1970/80er Jahren wider. Der Band zeigt auf, wie eng gesellschaftliche und wissenschaftliche Diskurse miteinander verflochten sind.
