Accredited: Level 6 WeValue Master Facilitator

Role in WeValue team

Huang Yanyan is currently a Post-Doctoral Researcher of SBERG based in Fudan University. She has involved from 2016 in the development of WeValue InSitu theoretically and pragmatically. She led the Chinese version development and further wide applications in diver contexts e.g. organization change, urban planning. She was also majorly involved in understanding the micro process of knowledge conversion during WeValue InSitu and expanded it to an individual-group level. She advices other team members on WeValue InSitu process adaptation design and data analysis strategy for specific research projects to ensure the cultural fitness and research rigor. Her facilitation and analysis experience (100+, 5 countries) support the team in multiple ways to fulfil its research aspiration and social responsibility.

Profile

She obtained her Ph.D degree from School of Social Science, Wageningen University & Research, Netherlands. She holds a Master Degree in Environmental Management (2014-2017) and a B.A Degree in Environmental Engineering (2010-2014), both in Fudan University.

Her general interest lies in the role of the process – externalizing shared values of naturally occurring group - with one focus on the pragmatic extension in the context of transdisciplinary collaboration towards sustainability transformation, and the other focus on the the philosophical basis of how subjective experience and shared values can be utilized to promote sustainability transformation on the individual and group levels (with a slight touch on cognitive neuroscience and artificial intellience). She looks at both individual and collective levels and approaches from both an agency perspective (dynamic) and an asset perspective (static). By integrating the dynamic and static status of human values, she aims to support the policy-makers, civil society practitioners and scientists to seek for shared-values-based solutions in specific situations, so to cope with complex and wicked sustainable challenges. Grounding her belief in real interpersonal interaction, she dedicates to work with real people in the fields and seek truth through inquiry into meanings, symbols, and interactions.
