Abstract or Description
Information and communication technologies are not value-neutral. I examine two domains, public health surveillance and sustainability, in five papers covering: ( i ) the design and development of a software package for computer-assisted outbreak detection; ( ii ) a workflow for using simulation models to provide policy advice and a list of challenges for its practice; ( iii ) an analysis of design documents from three smart home projects presenting intersecting visions of sustainability; ( iv) an analysis of EU-financed projects dealing with sustainability and
ICT; ( v) an analysis of the consequences of design choices when creating surveillance technologies. My contributions include three empirical studies of surveillance discourses where I identify the forms of action that are privileged and the values that are embedded into them. In these discourses, the presence of ICT entails increased surveillance, privileging technological expertise, and prioritising centralised forms of knowledge.
