Missing pieces and m oving parts: Puzzles of sustainable organizing

Wh at's missing in sustainable organizing?

How and why d o people interact with technology? How does the materiality of that t echnology - how it looks, feels, and sounds - shape the interaction p eople have with technology? And how do these interactions over time c hange the underlying social structures of organizing and society more broadly? Professor of Sustainable Christine Moser offers pathways fo rward, through novel and interdisciplinary research, education, and p ublic engagement. 

In the puzzle of sustainable organizing , there are many missing pieces and moving parts. First, invisible so cial norms guide our behaviour, yet these norms are rapidly shifting under pressures like climate change and social media. Second, the pow er of material things—smartphones, buildings, and even cocoa beans� ��is often overlooked but shapes in important ways how we live and wo rk. Third, while AI is often seen as a mere tool or instrument to be deployed for efficiency, it is slowly transforming morality, decision ‑making, and public institutions.
