A Manifesto for Slow Science

by Isabelle Stengers ...

Translated by Stephen Muecke ...

Like fast food, fast science is quickly prepared, not particularly good, and it clogs up the system. Efforts to tackle our most pressing issues have been stymied by conflict within the scientific community and mixed messages symptomatic of a rushed approach. What is more, scientific research is being shaped by the bubbles and crashes associated with economic speculation and the market. A focus on ... Read more

As the world reels from the fast catastrophe of Covid and the slow calamity of climate change, we've also faced a third, less visible emergency: a crisis of imagination. We can easily picture ecological disaster or futures dominated by technology. But we struggle to imagine a world in which people thrive and where we improve our democracy, welfare, neighborhoods or education. Many are resigned to ... Read more
