Smart Farming Technologies (An interactive exercise in environmental ethics) - Student Version

In this CBE, students will become familiar with the revolutionary innovations in the field of Smart Farming Technologies and, specifically, learn about the ethical notions surrounding this topic. Students have read a literature review on SFT-ethics and will actively dissect it in this session. In groups, they will tackle ethical questions. Afterwards, students assess each other’s ideas and discuss. The main goal of this CBE is to introduce students into the topic of SFT and to get them to reflect on it in an ethical manner.

Podcast from the Future (Educational Format)

This exercise offers an innovative working method to do in class or online. Students will do a small bit of research and use their findings to record a fictive podcast from the future of about 5 minutes long. The audio-assignments offer an opportunity for students to reflects on an ethical issue by means of narrative. Podcasts can be shared among the group when finished.

Proposal for Representing Future Generations (Educational Format)

Some technological innovations that are currently being developed might have extreme consequences for the future of humanity, potentially either salvatory or catastrophic. This exercise offers a method to discuss such technologies with, as students will assume the position of the (fictional) Institute of Representation of Future Generations and will have to conceive of future strategies, obstacles, anticipation and policies to optimise ethical outcomes

The Future and Synthetic Biology

Because we are nowadays able to modify living organisms through genetic manipulation, it has become possible to patent the process of modification. This situation creates a new form of ownership on the products of genetic engineering: who is responsible for the potential consequences of the changed organism? In this exercise, students will look into real-life applications of synthetic biology. Some small exercises will help to provide orientation in the realm of ethical issues connected to genetically modifying organisms. Afterwards, students will write a fictive news article from the future to consider the consequences of applications of the new technology of synthetic biology.

Degrowth vs. Ecomodernism

In this exercise, students will consider a prominent conceptual distinction in current debates about economy and sustainability: the opposition between Degrowth theory and Ecomodernism. This opposition is a useful one to think about new technologies, strategies for sustainability, and the future in general. After some introductory steps, students are tasked with creating an assignment about a certain technology they chose themselves.

Design Roadmapping: Guidebook for Future Foresight Techniques

DESIGN ROADMAPPING is for anyone interested in design, strategy and innovation, and its wonderful combinations. For those who dare to create a future vision, frame the time pacing and map the pathways towards it. This guidebook teaches you how to create a roadmap. It outlines the origins, design theories and science results. Strategic designers, innovation managers and professors share their roadmapping experiences, views and achievements, including venture CPOs, Head of Design, product and program managers of international companies such as Canon, Peerby, Ferrari, Philips, Victoria State Library and many more. By design roadmapping you devise creative responses to future strategic challenges. Guided by future foresight techniques, you uncover new trends, scout for new technologies and map the values and ideas on the roadmap. Through strong visualization, a design roadmap supports an organizational mindset on value innovations.

Moral Imagination and the Future of Cities at Night (Student handout)

Nighttime lighting is foundational to the design and use of cities at night, and new innovations to how we light cities can have far-reaching effects on social and environmental values. Given the confluence of rising concerns about the negative effects of artificial light at night (known as light pollution), combined with the introduction of new lighting technologies (e.g., smart systems, LEDs) as well as the development of other disruptive technologies (e.g., autonomous vehicles), we have a rare opportunity to envision and enact new lighting strategies. But how can these new technologies be adopted and utilized in a creative and responsible way? What values (environmental, social, aesthetic) should inform and drive technological innovation, design and policy choices, and use patterns? In this exercise, students are asked to confront complex and open-ended moral questions related to a critical (if often taken-for-granted) urban infrastructure, exploring how normative theories and value-sensitive design can – and should – inform the future of nighttime lighting.
