Description
In this presentation I will introduce how we enact Techno-Anthropology at Aalborg University as a study program and as a research area. The Techno-Anthropological triangle and the concept of Techno-Crisis are used to explain how we understand technology as dialectical socio-technical phenomenon, enframed by artifact, users, and experts. The concept of Techno-Activism is used to unfold participatory approaches to Techno-Anthropology with a focus on empowerment and inclusion. Technology Assessment is used to explore how normative positions and eclectic approaches can inform Techno-Anthropology. Two techno-anthropological projects, supported by the Innovation Fund Denmark, will exemplify some of my points. One project deals with an AI decision support tools in radiology clinics, the other project addresses P2X production and storing facilities at the Port of Rønne. I am curious to learn how you approach technologies in your projects. Thus, after my presentation we will discuss how to engage with technologies in research.| Period | 21 Apr 2024 |
