Politics of Knowledge and Inclusive Innovation

CPT37306

Over deze cursus

This course explores the mechanisms of inclusive innovation and development. Special attention is given to the power and politics involved in the production and negotiation of knowledge. In doing so, the course considers trade-offs between different scales and societal objectives related to livelihoods, agro-food networks, technologies and the environment. We pay equal attention to critical theories of the "politics of knowledge" and to practices of negotiating knowledge in diverse innovation and development processes.
