Focus of research
Wendy's PhD trajectory is part of The Dutch DNA dialogues (2022-2026). The Dutch DNA dialogues consortium aims to engage a broad group of publics to deliberate on Heritable Genome Editing (HGE) with the specific aim to consult those typically underrepresented in public engagement. To reach diverse publics and facilitate deliberation on HGE futures literacy, construtive journalism, art and design will be used to make conversations about HGE more accessible and engaging. The aim is to go beyond arguments against and in favour of HGE and delve into underlying values related to HGE. By exploring values in more depth through public and stakeholder engagement (PSE) publics are encouraged 'to disagree more precisely'. The values revealed though PSE will be analysed in relation to national and international regulations and legislation. Gathered insights will be used to provide a roadmap for societally aligned governance.
