Hi! :D I'm Dorothy J. Dankel, Ph.D. (41), a transdisciplinary researcher with expertise in Responsible Research and Innovation in marine science. In 2009, I incorporated a variety of scientific themes in my Ph.D. thesis “Building blocks of sustainability in marine fisheries management” including numerical modeling of marine fishery strategies using harvest control rules. After my specialization in marine fisheries management with research stays at the University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth, School of Marine Science and Technology (SMAST) and the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) in Austria, I began research at the Faculty of Humanities at the University of Bergen. During the “Reflexive Systems Biology” project funded by the Research Council of Norway, I worked closely with a social anthropologist in synthetic biology labs in USA and applied social science and anthropology methods including ethnography and text analysis. From 2009-2015 I chaired the ICES Working Group Fishery Systems (WGFS), and subsequently led the transition to Working Group Maritime Systems (WGMARS). Since 2012, I have been a board member of the Nordic Marine Think Tank (www.nmtt.org) and currently Vice-Chair. I'm a co-editor of the textbook Management Science For Fisheries: An introduction to simulation-based methods, and have co-edited a special issue for the academic journal Futures on social and ethical topics of biotechnology and society.
