COMMUNICATION PHILOSOPHY & TECHNOLOGY
the
human factor in life sciences
Strategic Communication The Strategic Communication Group (COM) studies the dynamics and consequences of
strategic communication related to life science issues. Such studies involve both the deliberate use of communication strategies by organizations that wish to connect to certain
audiences, and the everyday communication strategies that people employ to achieve their own ends, often in response to governmental agencies, commercial companies,
scientific communities, NGOs or managers in organizations.www.wageningenur.nl/com
Philosophy The Philosophy Group (PHI) studies ethical and philosophical issues in relation to the
Wageningen domains. The group reflects on normative assumptions and implications of research and social practices concerning food production and consumption, public health,
animal welfare and the environment, and aims to contributing to responsible practices and policies in these fields.
www.wageningenur.nl/phi
Knowledge, Technology and Innovation The Knowledge, Technology and Innovation group (KTI) studies processes of social and technical innovation and transformation, with special attention to the communicative
and socio-political dynamics involved in the production, exchange, integration and use of scientific and other knowledge. This involves studying technology’s impact on society and the social shaping of technology as two sides of a co-production process, and the analysis
of interactions, interventions, design approaches and institutional set-ups relevant to enhancing and supporting innovation processes in society.

CommunicationPhilosophy and Technology Centre for integrated development
CPT is a centre for integrative studies which aims to develop a better understanding of the relations between the life sciences and societal change, and provide a stimulating environment for studying communication, deliberation, technology and international development. Our starting point is that technical issues in agriculture, food, health and ecology are closely connected with social issues, such as human relations, democracy, equity and ethics.
In this brochure you will find how CPT contributes to various educational programmes of Wageningen University.

Communication Sciences
Applied Communication Science In Wageningen, life-scientists aim to contribute to solving complex
challenges such as climate change, water and energy scarcity, poverty and obesity. Their insights and proposed solutions are
frequently subject to heated debate in society. This indicates that addressing problems in life-science domains requires more than information provision and behaviour change campaigns. We also
need high quality deliberation, dialogue and reflection.
At CPTyou learn about the different roles that communication and science
play in society, and how to build bridges between people with different backgrounds and interests.

InternationalDevelopment Studies
The current globalised world poses important challenges such as poverty, migration, food security, environmental
degradation, and unequal access to resources and development opportunities. Scientific knowledge can
help solve problems, but it may also aggravate existing inequalities or trigger new tensions. Many innovative
solutions that are introduced by scientists or development practitioners, are never implemented because they do not fit the social or ecological context in which they are promoted. This raises questions about how communication is used in the process of developing social and technical innovations.
In CPT coursesyou learn how science and technology shape and transform agro-food networks, livelihoods and the environment (and vice versa) to how innovation and development processes may become more inclusive, responsible and democratic.
Development and Rural Innovation Development challenges such as climate change, lack of clean
drinking water, spreading of diseases or degradation of natural resources cannot be solved by technology alone.
It also requires changes in the social world: new forms of organisation and collective action, new policies, and new rules
and incentive systems. This implies that analysis of development challenges requires integration of knowledge and insights from natural and social science disciplines, as well as recognition of
stakeholder perspectives. Such integration is not easily achieved, but requires careful facilitation based on thorough understanding
of the dynamics of inter-human processes and communication.
CPT courses offer insight in such processes, and also enhance more general
understanding of how technology changes society and how society shapes technology development. In addition, our courses offer insight in different intervention models, design approaches
and institutional set-ups relevant to supporting social and technical innovation.

Health and SocietyThe complex health system asks for innovative solutions. Many different parties are involved:
citizens, medical professionals, the government, health insurers. Parties do not always agree with each
other and people do not change their behaviour easily. How to make sure that technical innovations are
picked up by the people they were created for? Why don’t people always make the decisions they know are good for their health? What processes hinder effective
communication between health professionals and patients, or between different experts in hospitals?
CPT courses offer insight in how people talk about health and risks
and how they make decisions. You also learn how to design persuasive health campaigns, how to facilitate
dialogue, or how to connect the world of science with the world of practice. In addition, courses foster reflection on ethical dilemmas in health promotion
and medical work.www.

The role of social media
and gaming in health communication
Management and Consumer Studies
Management, Economics and Consumer StudiesCompanies constantly communicate with consumers through
marketing. In the 21st century, we can no longer speak of one-way communication: through social media, consumers interact
with companies and also with one another about products they might or might not want to use. In these multiple
stakeholder networks, all parties influence one another.
With CPT you can learn to understand how people’s perceptions
about products and organisations are formed and utilized in networks of communication, and how this shapes societal
outcomes. We also offer room for ethical reflection on both consumption and the use of persuasive and other
communication strategies to influencing behaviour.
Environmental Sciences Planet Earth’s population of seven billion people
poses an enormous challenge. How can we keep our environment healthy? New environmentally friendly
technologies and production systems are often confronted with resistance by dominant players, who have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo.
Therefore we need to combine the natural, technological and social sciences for finding innovative methods and
sustainable solutions.
CPT offers courses in which you learn about the dynamics of social and
technical change, and the roles that communication and ethical deliberation may play in fostering responsible
research and innovation. This includes insight on how to build bridges between people with different backgrounds and interests, and how to connect the
natural, technological and social world.
Tourism The societal importance of the tourism phenomenon has grown significantly in recent decades and its contribution to the global economy is well documented. But tourism is also closely linked to major global changes in culture,
politics, technology and the environment. How does tourism affect the quality of life and well-being of
individuals and regions? What is its role in community, regional and urban development? In what way do tourist
activities affect the environment of travel destinations and influence cultures worldwide? What is the relation
with global transformations such as changing consumer behaviour, economic developments, climate change,
epidemics, or acts of terrorism?
CPT offers coursesthat give you insight in how tourism organisations may stay in tune with their ever changing environment, and
in the processes at work in cross-cultural communication. In addition, courses offer space to reflect on ethical
dimensions of international tourism.

Nutrition and HealthEvery day, people encounter an enormous amount of information about the health aspects of foods and dietary patterns. TV, friends, magazines and diet bestsellers
tell us what we should and shouldn’t eat. Many people struggle with questions such
as ‘What is healthy food?’ and ‘How to resist the temptation of unhealthy food?’
CPT offers coursesthat teach you how to understand the way
people make decisions, how the social environment influences food choice, how
people perceive risks, how persuasive health campaigns can be designed, and what urgent ethical problems in relation
to nutrition and health exist.
Organic Agriculture We study agriculture as ‘something that people do and make’, individually or organised in a group, often – but not always - with the use of tools and machines. In CPT
we like you to explore if such an angle to agriculture makes you think differently about agriculture,
researchers and farmers, the market and the consumers. How can we bridge the gap between laboratories,
experimental fields, farmers’ fields, markets and policy arenas? And how do those activities feed society? Many agricultural and food topics are related with (fair-trade)
markets, consumers and communication.
CPT offers a variety of courses that can help you to explore
broader questions you have about the role of organic agriculture in this world, and what you can contribute. You can also find topics around the ethics of (organic)
agriculture and food consumption and on how qualitative research (like interviewing researchers, farmers, consumers and other actors in society) can
become part of your MSc research project.
What are farmers’ motivations for shifting towards
organic farming?

Life Sciences For finding innovative methods and sustainable solutions to the life science challenges in the world, we need to combine the natural, technological and social sciences. That is not so
easy, because parties involved do not always agree with each other and people don’t easily change their behaviour.
How can we connect the world of science with the world of practice? How can we facilitate constructive dialogues
between people with different backgrounds and interests?
CPT offers courses that teach you how to connect the natural, technological and social world. You can also find topics around ethical
dilemmas and on how qualitative research (like interviewing researchers, farmers, consumers and other actors in society)
can become part of your MSc research project.

PERIOD 6 MORNINGMethods for Effective CommunicationIn this course, you learn to develop, design and evaluate communicative interventions in a scien-tifically sound manner. You write a communication plan tailored to a specific real-life situation.MIEKE MUIJRES | CPT-13306
Ethics and Social ScienceThis course focuses on ethical problems and dilemmas with which social scientists are likely to be confronted in the course of their professional careers, either as researcher or as policy advisor. You write a paper on an ethical problem preferably related to your own field of social science (also period 5 in the afternoon).HENK VAN DEN BELT | CPT-20303
PERIOD 6 AFTERNOONEthics, Health and SocietyIn this course, key ethical concepts, values and approaches that are central for health and society are explored and applied. You learn to analyse the argumentative structure of texts, engage in ethical case discussions with the help of a deliberation format analysis, and write a short essay about a moral problem in public healthcare.MARCEL VERWEIJ | CPT-13806
Environmental Philosophy and Ecological RestorationThis course presents a systematic overview of the main cognitive, normative and expressive issues within the field of environmental philosophy, and zooms in on two protracted and heated debates within environmental philosophy: about the value of ecological restoration and about the moral status of native and exotic plant and animal species within ecological restoration projects.BERNICE BOVENKERK, BART GREMMEN | CPT-50306
Selective Attention and Ethics Philosophy from a humanist perspectiveWe live among an overload of information. How to deal with that is an increasing challenge, since our attention is limited and therefore inevitably selective. Using perspectives from science, philosophy and art, this course teaches you to recognise and explain patterns, practices, challenges and mechanisms of selective attention. You learn to reflect on selective attention from moral points of view, and to imagine and devise ways to investigate attention in practice.COR VAN DER WEELE | CPT-94803
