Jeroen Oomen is postdoctoral researcher at the Urban Futures Studio, where he focuses on the social, cultural, and scientific practices that create societies’ conceptions of the future. Coming from an interdisciplinary background spanning philosophy, political science, sociology, and the history of science and technology, Jeroen’s interest is in how knowledge is made, and what the consequences are of particular types of knowledge for social organisations, democracy, and power structures. His main research interests are climate policy, geoengineering, and social theory, specifically where it concerns questions of sustainability.
