BEYOND DICHOTOMIES
The Posthuman Lab's second project aims to understand proenvironmental behavior beyond dichotomies, such as religion/science, religious/secular, and human/nonhuman. The current geographical focus of our research is Turkey. Çağdaş Dedeoğlu and co-PI Bron Taylor aim to examine various characteristics and attributes that hinder or promote proenvironmental behavior in the country. We seek to better explain the complexity of the posthuman era based on our surveys with individuals having diverse demographic and socio-economic profiles. This study is also the first of its kind that employs a novel survey scale of posthuman ethics for ecology and technology.
Two researchers are working on the Beyond Dichotomies project.
This project is supported by the International Research Network for the Study of Science and Belief in Society.
