Plant Genomics, Commercialization and Environmental Knowledge: Shifting Cultures of Scientific Research - Flagship Project
Broader Significance
Conceptual:
- Ethnographic analysis of how and what count as ‘doable’, how worthwhile scientific questions come to be defined and pursued under new commercial cultures of plant genomics sciences
- Examination of what kinds of implicit ideas of ‘public good’ or ‘public value’ come to shape scientific research trajectories in this field
- Analysis of the effects of policy shifts away from GM agricultural technologies in the UK and Europe, on basic scientific research commitments in plant genomics.
Policy:
- Enriched understanding of currents regimes of knowledge production and their respective structures and dynamics
- Understanding of the role of assumptions about public needs, concerns and priorities in shaping ‘natural’ trajectories of research and innovation
- Explore and suggest alternative regimes of knowledge productions,
so as to engender diversity, versatility, flexibility and democratic
accountability in science, science policy and knowledge production
