Abstract

Iedereen kan vandaag aan wetenschap doen. Je hoeft geen diploma op zak te hebben om een betekenisvolle bijdrage te leveren aan wetenschappelijk onderzoek of om je eigen onderzoek op te zetten. Burgerwetenschap is aan een opmars bezig. Ze geeft de professionele wetenschap meer armslag, maar stelt haar ook in vraag en beukt in op de 'ivoren toren'. Dit boek schetst het verleden, het heden en de toekomst van burgerwetenschap in Vlaanderen en Nederland. In acht verhalen lees je hoe gevarieerd 'Citizen Science' kan zijn. Alle facetten van burgerwetenschap komen uitgebreid aan bod. Er is ook ruimte voor een kritische noot. Hoe betrouwbaar en objectief is dat onderzoek door burgers? Is het inschakelen van vrijwilligers meer dan een besparingsoperatie? Kan 'Citizen Science' de kloof tussen wetenschap en maatschappij dichten of is het alleen weggelegd voor de mondige, hoogopgeleide burger?https://www.pelckmanspro.be/citizen-science.html

Abstract

Over the past twenty-five years, Bruno Latour developed a research protocol different from the actor-network theory with which his name is now associated - a research protocol that follows the different types of connectors that prompt a climate scientist challenged by a captain of industry to appeal to the institution of science, with its army of researchers and mountains of data, rather than to "capital-S Science" as a higher authority. Such modes of extension - or modes of existence, Latour argues here - account for the many differences between law, science, politics, and other domains of knowledge. -- from book cover.

Abstract

We are all concerned by the environmental threats facing us today. Environmental issues are a major area of concern for policy makers, industrialists and public groups of many different kinds. While science seems central to our understanding of such threats, the statements of scientists are increasingly open to challenge in this area. Meanwhile, citizens may find themselves labelled as `ignorant' in environmental matters. In Citizen Science Alan Irwin provides a much needed route through the fraught relationship between science, the public and the environmental threat.

Abstract

Lowering Higher Education points to a fundamental disconnect between policymakers, who may rarely set foot in contemporary classrooms, and the teachers who must implement their educational policies - which the authors argue are poorly informed - on a daily basis. Côte and Allahar expose stakeholder misconceptions surrounding the current culture of academic disengagement and supposed power of new technologies to motivate students. While outlining what makes the status quo dysfunctional, Lowering Higher Education also offers recommendations that have the potential to reinvigorate liberal education."--Pub. desc. "What happens to the liberal arts and science education when universities attempt to sell it as a form of job training? In Lowering Higher Education, a follow-up to their provocative 2007 book Ivory Tower Blues, James E. Côte and Anton L. Allahar explore the subverted 'idea of the university' and the forces that have set adrift the mission of these institutions. Côte and Allahar connect the corporatization of universities to a range of contentious issues within higher education, from lowered standards and inflated grades to the overall decline of Humanities, Social Sciences, and Natural Sciences instruction.
