Biography

Ariane Wenger is a lecturer at ETH Zurich, specializing in Environmental Sciences with a focus on Environmental Systems Policy. She completed her master's thesis analyzing public perception and acceptance of negative emission technologies in Switzerland. Her dissertation was developed at TdLab and significantly linked to ETH Zurich's practice, particularly the ETH air travel project, which aimed to reduce academic air travel. Utilizing a multi-method approach, her doctoral thesis explored strategies to decrease air travel associated with academic conferences. Her research is centered around deeply embedded norms, the evolving practices of conferences, and the challenges and opportunities presented by virtual and hybrid conference formats. Currently, she is involved in the project 'Anthro:Relate,' which examines the changing relationship between science and society in the context of human-made environmental change.
