Research:
From September 2009-June 2010 Sabine Roeser is a NIAS-fellow, working on a project on how to include emotions in the design process of risky technologies. From April 2005 through July 2009 Roeser has worked on the research project: Emotions and Technological Risks: Emotions as a Normative Guide in Judging the Moral Acceptability of Technological Risks, for which she obtained a prestigious VENI-grant (nr. 275-20-007) from the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO). Roeser has recently been awarded a follow-up grant, a so-called NWO-VIDI-grant, for excellent researchers, worth 800.000 Euros. This grant will allow her to create her own research group on Moral Emotions and Risk Politics. Roeser will lead and work on this project from July 2010-June 2015.
