conference contribution
posted on 2006-05-08, 15:23 authored by Ruth Conway, Anne RiggsThe two presenters will deliver a dialogue which will explore the value judgements made, especially, around a particular issue, i.e. the value of recycling, or the need to recycle materials. Initially they will suggest possible technological projects and, as a consequence, explore the knowledge, skills and value judgements likely to be involved.
The presentation will pursue the following steps:
exploring the issue using stimulation material and information, including ideas from different cultures;
suggesting possible technology projects;
highlighting value judgements that would need to be taken;
deciding appropriate criteria;
suggesting strategies for widening the evidence that might be taken into account, clarifying perspectives and facing up to value conflicts.
