Communication

Philosophy &

Technology

The sub-department Communication, Philosophy and

Technology: Centre for Integrative Development (CPT-CID)

aims to develop a better understanding of the relations

between the life sciences and societal change.

We provide a stimulating environment for studying

communication, deliberation, and moral values in relation

to technology, quality of life and international development.

Our starting point is that protection and innovation of

agriculture, food, health and environment are

closely connected with social issues.

Integrative understandings, and empirical and normative

analyses are needed to support balanced social and technical

innovation, and to enhance the interaction between science

and society.

The sub-department CPT consists of:

• Strategic Communication (COM)• Philosophy (PHI) and

• Knowledge, Technology and Innovation (KTI)

The Strategic Communication

chair (COM) studies the dynamics

and consequences of strategic

communication by organizations

and citizens.

The focus is on the interactional

processes through which public

images, discourses, opinions and

practices come about, and on

how these may be infl uenced by

communication professionals.

Strategic Communication

The role of social media in the green movement of IranThis thesis investigates the role of social

media in context of the confl ict over the

presidential elections of 2009 in Iran.

Rosanne Elisabeth de Vos | BSc-thesis 2011

Green power of social exclusionWhen people are

excluded, they

become motivated

to build social connections, which fulfi l

their ‘need to belong’. Building social

connections can be achieved by pro-social

behaviour. Can organic consumption be

seen as a pro-social behaviour and can it

be triggered by social exclusion?

Anna Tasso | MSc-thesis 2013

Nothing changes,

everything changesA study of framing, ambition and interac-

tion of young Greeks in the context of the

Greek debt crisis. This interpretative re-

search analyses how young Greeks perceive

the Greek debt crisis through the concept

of frames and framing in interaction. It is

explored how the young Greeks cope with

the situation in order to eliminate stress,

fulfi l needs and to pursue ambitions.

Matilda Rizopulos | MSc-thesis 2012

Risk perception

and acceptance

concerning wolves

and wild boarsIn the near future, wolves might enter

the Netherlands. Wolves can be seen as

threats for Dutch citizens, whom possibly

overestimate these risks. On the other

hand, wild boars, already prevalent in

the Netherlands, induce risks that are

underestimated by Dutch citizens. Nature

managers will have to communicate with

the public about nature policy, and for

effective communication they will need to

know about the public’s risk perception

and acceptance.

Britt Tamar Stikvoort | MSc-thesis 2012

Some thesis topics of our students

ResearchThe Strategic Communication Chair studies the dynamics

and consequences of strategic communication of themes and

issues in the Wageningen domain.

Such studies involve both the deliberate use of

communicative strategies by organizations that wish

to connect to certain audiences, and the everyday

communication strategies that citizen-consumers employ

to achieve their own ends, often in response to actors like

governmental agencies, industries, scientifi c communities,

NGOs or managers in organizations.

Thus, the research of the chair contributes to insights

about the inter-human processes through which

public images, opinions and risk perceptions come about

(e.g. around new technological opportunities), the role of

persuasion and other communicative strategies in

fostering individual and collective behavioral change,

the interaction between planned and self-organized

processes of change, and the way in which interpretative

communities create, maintain and manage different viewpoints, frames and discourses.

The Philosophy chair (PHI)

studies ethical and other

philosophical issues in relation

to the Wageningen Domains. We

reflect on normative assumptions

and implications of research and

social practices concerning food

production and consumption, public

health, animal welfare and the

environment, and thereby aim to

contribute to responsible practices

and policies in these fields.

Philosop hy

Giuseppe A

rcimboldo (1527 - 1593) - Rudolf II of H

absburg as Vertumnus

Research

in PhilosophyOur research projects focus on core concepts and principles that are often

taken for granted in research, policy and practice. For example: How should

we understand ‘risk’, ‘health’ and ‘safety’ in various policy contexts, e.g.

food production and public health? Is it possible to develop a coherent understanding of what is ‘natural’, e.g. in relation

to food production, agriculture, or nature development? How to evaluate

the debates on intensive versus extensive livestock farming from an

ethical perspective? What are the moral limits and justifi cations of patent

regulation in the life sciences?

Research and teaching activities involve ethical refl ection on

practical problems and analysis of the role and status of scientifi c

knowledge in our modern globalised world. We do this in close

cooperation with other groups at Wageningen University.

Our research strategy is pluralist, pragmatic, and often

interdisciplinary, combining normative and empirical approaches.

Moreover, we explore how analysis of practical issues may lead to theoretical

insights and vice versa. Refl ection and imagination can jointly unfold

new ways for science, and society to deal with challenges to agriculture,

development, public health and the environment.

Building on our research and teaching activities, we fulfi l consultative roles

in various national and international settings in business and social policy, such as Unilever, and the Health Council of the Netherlands, and

we participate in debates in public and professional media.

Researchin Knowledge, Technology and Innovation

The KTI chair studies processes of socio-technical innovation and transformation, with special

attention to the communicative and socio-political

dynamics involved in the production, exchange,

integration and use of scientifi c and other knowledge.

This simultaneously involves studying technology’s

impact on society and the social shaping of

technology as two sides of a co-production process,

and the analysis of interactions, interventions, design

approaches and institutional set-ups relevant to

enhancing and supporting innovation processes in

society.

These endeavors to understand science-society interaction are situated in the context of challenges

and opportunities in the Wageningen domain, such as

food security, poverty, health hazards, inequality, health

promotion, environmental degradation, climate change,

confl ict and scarcity of resources.
