Synthesizing value sensitive design, responsible research and innovation, and energy justice: A conceptual review

摘要: Abstract Many academic approaches that claim to consider the broad set of social and ethical issues relevant energy systems sit side-by-side without conversation. This paper considers three such literatures: Value Sensitive Design, Responsible Research Innovation Energy Justice framework. We argue whilst definitions these concepts appear, on face value, be united by a common normative goal – improving outcomes mitigating sensitivities at interface technological human livelihoods –, their existence in silos has obscured complementarities, which, once synthesized, might increase overall practical relevance. fills emergent gap critically discussing strengths challenges as well how they could contribute each other. It compares: (1) things tackle, (2) solutions provide (3) points clearly distinguish one approach from another (if any all). Not only does this make first its kind, but it also makes an impactful one. With concept gaining various degrees support academia practice, our discussion reveals where tensions exist positive gains can made. identify five opportunities for collaboration integration with implications achievement are acceptable societal perspective.
