معرفی
Agustín De Julio Pardo, MSc, is a researcher at the University of Groningen within the Faculty of Behavioural and Social Sciences, specifically in the Social Psychology department. His work critically examines the intersection of social psychology, policy, and industrial risk, with a strong focus on the societal impacts of natural resource extraction and climate change.
Research Focus:
- Trust-building in Policy: Investigates how governmental and industrial policies can maintain or erode public trust, particularly in regions affected by environmental risks.
- Climate Change & Industrial Risk: Analyzes the social dimensions of climate-related risks and the role of scientific communication in mitigating public concern and fostering resilience.
- Slow-onset Disasters: Explores the psychological and societal impacts of prolonged environmental crises, such as those induced by gas extraction in Groningen.
Publications Overview: His recent works emphasize the need for transparent, trust-centric policy-making in regions facing environmental degradation. Through comparative studies (e.g., Groningen vs. Kiruna, Sweden), he highlights effective governance strategies in managing resource extraction impacts.
Media Engagement: A frequent commentator in Dutch media, Agustín has provided expert insights on topics ranging from international arbitration in energy disputes (e.g., Exxon vs. Dutch government) to the symbolic dismantling of gas extraction sites as acts of societal healing.
Advising & Collaborations: While no specific student advisees are listed, his collaborative network spans interdisciplinary teams, including natural scientists and policymakers, aiming to bridge gaps between social and natural sciences in high-risk industries.
