Nostalgiefilter aus, Forschungsbrille auf: Wenn Fans zu Forschenden werden, sind Grenzüberschreitungen inklusive. Citizen Science ermöglicht diesen Seiten- und Perspektivwechsel, der sowohl in der Wissenschaft als auch in der Bürger:innenschaft zu einem produktiven Wissens- und Erfahrungsaustausch führt. Unter dem Titel #KultOrtDUS arbeiten Medien- und Kulturwissenschaftler der Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf gemeinsam mit Bürger:innen an dem Aufbau eines Archivs der Medienkulturgeschichte Düsseldorfs. Düsseldorf als Zentrum von Punkmusik, New Wave und Aktionskunst fungiert dabei als urbanen Forschungsfeld, auf dem die Disziplin der "Citizen Science" wissenschaftspraktisch ausprobiert wird. Die Publikation fasst erste Ergebnisse dieses Forschungsprojekts zusammen, indem sie sich auf die Spurensuche zwischen Fans, Prosumer:innen, Bürger:innen und Urban Legends begibt und Perspektiven der Citizen Science- an die Fanforschung anknüpft. Den wissenschaftlichen Meta-Diskurs begleitet ein illustrativ-experimenteller Ansatz, der das kreative Potenzial aus der Forschung im Umfeld von Citizen Science sichtbar macht. When fans become researchers, crossing boundaries is part of it. Citizen science makes it possible to change sides and perspectives, which can lead to productive exchanges of knowledge and experience in scholarship and society. This volume discusses the possibilities and limits of citizen science in media and cultural studies, and is the first to bring together the two disciplines of citizen science and fan research.

Citizen science. --- fan research. --- oral history. --- urban legends.

This open access book describes recent innovations in food systems based on root, tuber and banana crops in developing countries. These innovations respond to many of the challenges facing these vital crops, linked to their vegetative seed and bulky and perishable produce. The innovations create value, food, jobs and new sources of income while improving the wellbeing and quality of life of their users. Women are often key players in the production, processing and marketing of roots, tubers and bananas, so successful innovation needs to consider gender. These crops and their value chains have long been neglected by research and development, hence this book contributes to filling in the gap. The book features many outcomes of the CGIAR Research Program in Roots, Tubers and Banana (RTB), which operated from 2012-21, encompassing many tropical countries, academic and industry partners, multiple crops, and major initiatives. It describes the successful innovation model developed by RTB that brings together diverse partners and organizations, to create value for the end users and to generate positive economic and social outcomes. RTB has accelerated the scaling of innovations to reach many end users cost effectively. Though most of the book’s examples and insights are from Africa, they can be applied worldwide. The book will be useful for decision makers designing policies to scale up agricultural solutions, for researchers and extension specialists seeking practical ideas, and for scholars of innovation.
