International Handbook on Responsible Innovation A Global Resource Edited by René von Schomberg and Jonathan Hankins Buy Book in Print Show Summary Details Chapter 17: Shared space and slow science in geoengineering research Jack Stilgoe Abstract In this chapter, I use the idea of shared space as an analogy for the responsible governance of a controversial emerging area of science: geoengineering. I begin by sketching a conventional history of geoengineering ideas, before complicating this narrative to suggest that the conventional distribution of responsibility between climate understanding and climate control cannot be drawn as easily, as is often assumed. I then consider the contested nature of geoengineering experiments as a site for the negotiation of responsibility. Despite attempts to delineate safe spaces for experimentation, the governance of these experiments has been unable to escape the broader politics of geoengineering. Finally, extending the metaphor of shared space as a governance alternative, I discuss the merits of slow science. My argument is that, while slowness seems almost heretical in science policy discourse, it is both normatively attractive as well as being a reasonable description of the unfolding of geoengineering research -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "geoengineering" group.
