Sofia Efstathiou
Om
I work in philosophy of science, ethics of technology and art-based approaches to philosophy and responsible research and innovation (RRI). I have worked as an "embedded philosopher" in different interdisciplinary science projects, including in complexity science, systems biology, and biotechnology. I want to stimulate and exercise response-ability in science, through humanities and arts resources.
- From Spring 2020 I am leading the four-year KLIMAFORSK project MEATigation: Towards sustainable meat-use in Norwegian food practices for climate mitigation. The project is a collaboration across the Social Sciences Humanities and Arts and Norwegian business and cultural actors with the aim to explore and transform Norwegian food practices towards reducing meat use.
-
You can listen to my argument for 'How industrialised meat production is ironically facilitating the end of meat', here --Thank you to my hosts -- CONEF: Configuring Environment and Food: Critical Techno-Scientific Networks and the Agri-food Sector in Greece, and the Department of History and Philosophy of Science, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens.
-
- From February 2021 I am also leading part of the three-year HORIZON2020 project ISEED: Inclusive Science and European Democracies. The project joins EU and Latin American partners to explore what we might learn from engaging people in citizen science to engage people in inclusive knowledge-based democratic deliberation in Europe.
At NTNU I coordinate the Research group for APPlied Ethics RAPP.
I hold a first Master of Physics degree in Mathematics and Physics (Warwick, 2000), an MA in Philosophy (2006) and PhD in Philosophy and Science Studies (2009) from University of California, San Diego on The use of race as a variable in biomedical research. My research has received EU, RCN, NSF, Max Planck and White funding.
