M. Gonzalez Woge | People Pages: Find employees & contact details

I am a Philosopher of Technology (BA, MA, MsC, PhDc) working as a Lecturer in Philosophy and Ethics of Technology at the Philosophy Department of the University of Twente.

Over the past few years, I have successfully developed and coordinated several interdisciplinary projects, integrating Design Ethics, Challenge Based Learning, and the Capability Approach. These initiatives have allowed me to bridge various domains, fostering innovative educational experiences to explore and rethink complex socio-technical challenges. Currently, I serve as a Learning Experience Designer for the new minor in 'Environmental Values and Sustainable Transformations' at the Philosophy and KITES program. This role enables me to further my commitment to sustainability and ethical engineering education, shaping curricula that inspire students to engage deeply with environmental challenges and transformative practices.

My research and teaching activities lie at the intersection of Human-Technology-Environment Relations, Postphenomenology, Capability Approach, Ecological-Enactive Cognitive Science, Design Ethics, Future Studies, Pragmatism, and Challenge Based Learning.
