Steffen Dalsgaard<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n Principal Investigator (PI)<\/p>\n\n\n\n sdal@itu.dk<\/p>\n\n\n\n Academic page<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n With a background in Anthropology (PhD, Aarhus University 2010), my focus as Principal Investigator of the DecouplingIT project relates to exploring the conceptual issues of what decoupling \u2018means\u2019 socially and culturally in a variety of different contexts. I also aim to visit at least some of the field sites where project members are carrying out fieldwork in order to connect the conceptual to the empirical realities. The research is part of my ongoing interest in the social and cultural roles played by technologies in relation to the climate crisis.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Priscila Santos da Costa<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Assistant Professor<\/p>\n\n\n\n prsa@itu.dk<\/p>\n\n\n\n Academic page<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n I have a bachelor\u2019s in Social Sciences at the State University of S\u00e3o Paulo, in Brazil, and a PhD (2018) in Social Anthropology at the University of St. Andrews, Scotland. I have conducted fieldwork in the Parliament of Papua New Guinea in Port Moresby and my research focused on the state, bureaucracy, and Christianity. Since then, I have undertaken a new ethnographic project in Brazil on the sociocultural dimensions of new technologies in efforts to develop the Amazon region. <\/p>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Cancan Wang<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Associate Professor<\/p>\n\n\n\n cawa@itu.dk<\/p>\n\n\n\n Academic page<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n I have a background in Sociology, Ethnology and Information Systems. My research for the \u201cDecoupling IT\u201d project explores data \u2018activism\u2019 in China as a civic harnessing of the capacities of data to promote climate justice, and as an alternative way that IT can address the climate crisis. In particular, I am interested in the production, use and consequences of corporate ESG data by civil organizations in China. I am currently also engaged in research projects that investigate the ESG initiatives of business associations and SMEs in Denmark and the EU. My previous research focuses on public digitalisation in the public sector and related governance issues.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Vivian Wei Guo<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n PhD Fellow<\/p>\n\n\n\n viwe@itu.dk<\/p>\n\n\n\n Academic page<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n I am a PhD fellow at the Department of Business IT (IT University of Copenhagen), and affiliate researcher at the Center for Development and Environment (University of Oslo). I engage in research related to governance, sustainable\/green finance and investment, digitalization, and global south development studies. I have extensive experience in collaborating with public and private actors on issues relating to green transition and sustainability. My PhD work explores sustainability and green digital transition via ESG data, where i engage in collaboration with local business communities and civil society groups.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Christine Borgvold Naaby Hansen<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n PhD Fellow<\/p>\n\n\n\n chbh@itu.dk<\/p>\n\n\n\n Academic page<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n I hold an MSc degree in socio-cultural anthropology from Utrecht University, the Netherlands. My research for the \u2018Decoupling IT\u2019 project explores processes of digitalisation in South African agriculture, with focus on climate-smart, data-driven agritechnology such as precision farming. Previously, I have undertaken ethnographic research in the Western Cape on issues relating to land governance, infrastructure and citizenship.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Hasib Ahsan<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Postdoctoral Researcher<\/p>\n\n\n\n hahs@itu.dk<\/p>\n\n\n\n Academic page<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n With a background in Digital Development in the Global South (PhD, IT University of Copenhagen 2023), I am a postdoctoral researcher in the DecouplingIT project. My research is centered on a sub-project in Bangladesh, where I am investigating the integration of adaptation and digitalisation strategies in \u2018char\u2019 communities, affected by climate change (flooding, drought, and river erosion). Here, I examine how NGOs provide services such as climate-smart agriculture, digital healthcare, and weather and early warning systems, and how these services are adopted by the community in their daily lives. Additionally, I am exploring the ‘Smart Bangladesh’ policy and interviewing government officials to understand the government’s plan for smart digitalisation in marginalised communities.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n James Maguire <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Co-Investigator (CI), Associate Professor<\/p>\n\n\n\n jmag@itu.dk<\/p>\n\n\n\n Academic page<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n I am an anthropologist and STS scholar studying questions arising at the intersection of climate and computation, particularly around themes such as energy, data, AI, and digital infrastructures.
