Participatory TA for example aims at incorporating the values and experiences of lay people into the decisions on and designs of technologies. The outcomes of these processes could enable insights for the normative program of Degrowth. The critical view of societal growth offered by Degrowth can set a normative frame for TA, especially when assessing (new and emerging or established) technologies. In this sense we ask: what can the two learn from each other?1 aHahn, Julia  uhttps://degrowth.community/conference2014/scientific-papers/3300
