Ethnography Document analysis historic case study Discourse analysis || - Formation of expertise - Sensmaking of the "disperse" (e.g. heat as sensory, biological, bodily, natural, technological ... phenomenon) - Body Politics - Marginalization and inclusion/Categorization - Control of populations and its central and de-central technologies - co-constructin of technological, natural, biological, cultural, social phenomena, and its politics - Geographical, temporal and spatial dimensions of expertise || - increased warming of the globe - increased frequencies of heat pheonomena - increased funding of studies of UHI - yet prevailing invisibility of heat disasters, esp. in a "complexified perspective" - urgency of issues around heat wave disasters for invisible populace as primary "victims" - local and global urgency of the phenomena and questions revolving around them || - strong standing in literatures on expertise,the elderly & care, technoscience, - high mobility for cross-national comparisions - good connections to different key sites - connection to 6 cities project - on the intersections of DSTS, "care" (Mike: "Minding"), politics of technoscience, etc. || - male,white,europeaninapriviligedposition - european --> no experience with indian culture as one key site - male, white (centered position in a case that rests heavily on marginalization) - no expert on heat phenomena and weather disasters - no considerable expert in climate change - not exactly prone to heat myself || - consulting - academia - disaster management - govern mental and administrative jobs || - NSF - FP7 - City of Vienna - Gov of Austira - Gov of US - Existing Projects (6 cities) - Indian funders? - UN || Expert interviews Participant observation Historical case work "Guided tours" || - body politics - vulnerability & resilience - disaster management and its politics - technologies of (population control) - infrastructure and "the city" - the build environment - interesectionality, inequality & marginalization - visualization technologies - mapping and sts - constructions of populations and groups of populations - technological constructions and de-constructions - ... || - increased problematization of heat - in confined places - with large ignorances towards marginalized lifes and geographies - whilst simulatneously emergent social, political and cultural consequences - shift of administration threatens to stall action || - extensive preliminary research - similar questions in previous research - interesections with projects of colleagues (grads and faculty) - overlaps of various topics I worked on before (science & public, science & politics, technoscience, sts & the city...) || - unawareness of political and cultural orders in US - access to field - scoping of field - new in heat || intersections between governance, regional planning, publics, policy advisory, architecture, social welfare, public helath || see above || Group ethnography Expert and Participant interviews Document analysis || - public engagement - action research - intersectionality, marginalization - resistances - forms of expertise - power politics - boundaries of science - science as islands - expertises and knowledge cultures - infrastructures of violence and resistance - biopolitics - medical sts || - need for bringing heat as problematization into the public early on - need for early on counteraction and preparation - heat as non-issue for publics - large scale transformation towards heat resilience is by an large backstaged || see above || see above || see above || see above ||
