Delivered in Collaboration with the ENVS3034: Agricultural Innovation cohort this workshop will introduce the concepts of Responsible Innovation, unpack what this means in practice, and have you thinking about its relevance in society and your life and work. The examples will have an agricultural flavour, but this workshop is relevant to learners from all field who have an interest in understanding, and contributing to, a more responsible, equitable, and progressive future of science and technology. No preparation is required to attend. If you have questions please contact Rachael Rodney (rachael.rodney@anu.edu.au).
Preparation
The suggested preparation is to "do your research" into the activity/event. For example, if you are going to see a guest speaker present, do a little background research, such as spending some time reading their latest work, finding out about them (ie wikipedia, etc), or listening to an interview with them.
Completion
This should be the equivalent of 1 page, and can include pictures (such as a photo of you attending, or a picture of an important slide).
We encourage you to reflect on the skill or knowledge that you developed through the activity, particularly how it might be useful or not in your creating social change repertoire.A great prompt to reflect on is a question that you asked the presenter, or would have asked the presenter if there was time.
