For Simone’s lecture on “Uncertain futures and Society” next week please prepare the following text:
Shackley, S.; Wynne, B. (1996): Representing Uncertainty in Global Climate Change Science and Policy: Boundary-Ordering Devices and Authority. In: Science, Technology & Human Values 21 (3), S. 275–302. DOI: 10.1177/016224399602100302. (uploaded on STINE and link)
Please take notes from your reading and bring them to class next week. A guiding question is in how far the “boundary-ordering devices” that the authors studied in the 1990s structure the communication between science and policy in the climate case to this day in the 2020s.
Please also revisit the re-conceptualisation of scientific uncertainty in Sarewitz 2004 (uploaded on stine). We already red and discussed this paper in the Introduction class in the winter term, but if you do not have the argument ready anymore, re-read this part of the paper (or your blogpost). For those of you who have not taken this class please read the paper now.
Please, also bring at least one laptop/tablet per role-group for the next week’s lecture.
