My research is grounded to my interdisciplinary background and my vision and long-standing commitment to support creating more just societies and a more sustainable world. Towards this end, I am particularly interested in the democratisation of scientific and policy processes by enabling citizens – especially marginalised and underrepresented individuals and communities – to actively take part in the co-shaping of research and policy agendas. My research has the following cross-cutting themes:
1. Socio-technical and design perspectives in the implementation of geographic interfaces and technologies: The trust-building potential of bottom-up participatory approaches in science and environmental sustainability.
2. The trust-building potential of bottom-up participatory approaches in science and environmental sustainability: The second line of my research focuses on exploring the trust-building processes of bottom-up participatory approaches (in and outside citizen science) and of the technological artefacts that support these initiatives.
