Brownbag seminar at LISIS ! Lenn Gorissen, (University of Twente) Monday, October 14th , 12h15 – 13h45, room 109
Lenn Gorissen, a PhD student at the University of Twente, arrived at LISIS today and will be staying at our premises (doctoral students’ office) throughout October as part of the EUSPRI young researcher mobility scheme. He is doing his thesis under the supervision of Kornelia Konrad.
His PhD research project is the following :
My PhD research explores digital technologies within ecology-based farming systems, focusing on the role and potential of monitoring sensor technology in particular. The study employs a three-step practice-based methodology: First, using social practice theory to understand how sensors are integrated into farmers’ broader sensing practices and how the knowledge these practices make possible informs effective farm management toward agricultural sustainability (paper currently under review at Agriculture and Human Values). Second, critically assessing the visions (and underlying imaginaries) that guide the development of and the (user) expectations on agricultural sensors through the concept of socio-technical-ecological imaginaries. Lastly, Constructive Technology Assessment workshops will be organised to co-design and evaluate sensor technology, aiming to harmonise innovation with agroecological objectives. I am currently working on the second step, so I would like to explore the concept of socio-technical-ecological imaginaries further during my stay at LISIS.
