Harro van Lente receives RWTH Aachen Research Fellowship
Harro van Lente has received a RWTH Aachen Research Fellowship to work on the project 'Epistemic Imaginaries: Research Fields between Digitalization and the Climate Crisis'.
As of November 2024, he will spend 6 months in Aachen. The Fellowship is part of the Käte Hamburger Kolleg 'Cultures of Research' which hosts about 15 international fellows.
About the project
The project 'Epistemic Imaginaries' will study how within research fields ideas about 'where to go' emerge, stabilize and change under external pressure, such as the climate crisis. Epistemic imaginaries are defined as textual or visual representations of an ideal set of future achievements within a research field. The research fields to be studied are plasma chemistry, neurodegeneration research, conservation studies and precision agriculture. The project bridges two STS perspectives: the sociology of expectations and studies on epistemic cultures.
Harro van Lente is Professor of Science and Technology Studies
