  1. Bins, bulbs, and shower timers: On the 'techno-ethics' of sustainable living.Kersty Hobson - 2006 - Ethics, Place and Environment 9 (3):317 – 336.
    Domestic eco-efficient technologies, such as recycling bins and compact florescent light bulbs, are integral to the eco-modernisation project. To date, however, little research has examined their role in the production of 'sustainable citizens'. In response, this paper explores the productivities of commonplace domestic objects. It draws on qualitative research into a Sydney-based sustainable living programme called 'GreenHome', to examine how participants' environmental ethics became articulated through objects' use.

  • Science and the “Good Citizen”: Community-Based Scientific Literacy.Wolff-Michael Roth & Stuart Lee - 2003 - Science, Technology and Human Values 28 (3):403-424.
    Science literacy is frequently touted as a key to good citizenship. Based on a two-year ethnographic study examining science in the community, the authors suggest that when considering the contribution of scientific activity to the greater good, science must be seen as forming a unique hybrid practice, mixed in with other mediating practices, which together constitute “scientifically literate, good citizenship.” This case study, an analysis of an open house event organized by a grassroots environmentalist group, presents some examples of activities (...)
