原子力をめぐる科学技術イノベーションガバナンスへの道 福島原発事故後の市民科学に関する日本―ベルギー共同研究プロジェクトからの示唆

Abstract

In this article, we reflect on our experiences in a joint Japanese-Belgian social science research project on citizen science after Fukushima (2017-2019), which sought to identify how public authorities and scientific research communities respond to citizen-led, data-driven radiation monitoring practices. Using qualitative (auto)ethnographic methods, we shed light on opportunities and challenges that emerged in developing possible fruitful collaboration pathways with project stakeholders, particularly citizen scientists and formally-trained scientists working in radiological protection. We argue for more reflexive dialogue among all about how interactions between these stakeholders are staged, negotiated, and performed, as relations between them (and us) create openings and closings for the governance of radiation pollution and environmental problems.
