About
Speaker: Dr Alessandra Quadrelli, Director of Research, Chemistry - Centre national de la recherche scientifique, France
Alessandra Quadrelli is director of research in chemistry from the French National Centre for Scientific Research, CNRS, at the IRCELYON laboratories. Her research focuses on materials for CO2 reduction. Concurrently, Alessandra is proposing the the “Situated Green Chemistries” framework to explore transdisciplinary definition of sustainable chemistry. Inspired by Donna Haraway’s “situated knowledges” concept in science and technology studies and feminist epistemologies, the framework proposes several other possible chemistries, built from perspectives under-represented in the current academic arena, to help address present challenges and shape more diverse scenarios of sustainable futures.
