Missing pieces and movi ng parts: Puzzles of sustainable organizing

What's mi ssing in sustainable organizing?

How and why do peopl e interact with technology? How does the materiality of that technolo gy - how it looks, feels, and sounds - shape the interaction people h ave with technology? And how do these interactions over time change t he underlying social structures of organizing and society more broadl y? Professor of Sustainable Christine Moser offers pathways forward, through novel and interdisciplinary research, education, and public e ngagement. 

In the puzzle of sustainable organizing, there are many missing pieces and moving parts. First, invisible social no rms guide our behaviour, yet these norms are rapidly shifting under p ressures like climate change and social media. Second, the power of m aterial things—smartphones, buildings, and even cocoa beans—is of ten overlooked but shapes in important ways how we live and work. Thi rd, while AI is often seen as a mere tool or instrument to be deploye d for efficiency, it is slowly transforming morality, decision‑maki ng, and public institutions.
