David Ludwig
KLI Colloquia
Addressing Global Challenges Through Participation? The Epistemology of International Development
David LUDWIG (Wageningen University)

KLI
Organized by KLI

Topic description / abstract:

Global challenges such as climate change, food security, and public health require interaction between vastly different epistemic communities from Indigenous farmers to Western lab scientists. While stakeholder inclusion has become widely embraced in international development, its epistemology remains underdeveloped. Based on anthropological debates about cross-cultural relativity/universality of biological knowledge, this talk outlines an epistemology of inclusive development that is critically reflective about both opportunities and limitations of knowledge integration.
