KNOTS Team Linking technological change in health, agriculture and environment to poverty reduction and social justice.
KNOTS Research team
Science and technology offer crucial ways to reduce poverty and increase social justice by improving agricultural livelihoods, tackling ill-health and sustaining the environment.
The KNOTS Team works to understand and influence the institutions and power-knowledge relationships that link technology, ecology and society.
The team connects global debate with local realities through interdisciplinary research, networks and partnerships, as well as teaching and training. It also co-hosts the major new ESRC Centre for Social, Technological and Environmental Pathways to Sustainability (STEPS).
