Science Communication: Culture, Identity and Citizenship de Sarah R. Davies

Science Communication: Culture, Identity and Citizenship

Autor Sarah R. Davies, Maja Horst
en Limba Engleză Paperback – oct 2016
This book describes current practices in science communication, from citizen science to Twitter storms, and celebrates this diversity through case studies and examples. However, the authors also reflect on how scholars and practitioners can gain better insight into science communication through new analytical methods and perspectives. From science PR to the role of embodiment and materiality, some aspects of science communication have been under-studied. How can we better notice these? 

Science Communication provides a new synthesis for Science Communication Studies. It uses the historical literature of the field, new empirical data, and interdisciplinary thought to argue that the frames which are typically used to think about science communication often omit important features of how it is imagined and practised. It is essential reading for students, scholars, and practitioners of science education, science and technology studies, museum studies, and media and communication studies.

Descriere

Science communication activities such as public events and lectures, science festivals, and media coverage of science have proliferated over the last three decades, in the UK, US and across Europe. Science Communication Studies is now a discipline in its own right, with its own conferences, journals, and postgraduate courses (some 27 in the UK alone). Research in this area has been highly interdisciplinary, drawing on thinking from Science and Technology Studies (STS), Media and Communication Studies, and Museum Studies. However, thus far there have been limited efforts to draw this work together to provide an overarching account of where research into science communication has come from, and in what directions it should be going.

Recenzii

“It explores the role of capitalism in this context, the relevance of ecology, and more. It reminds readers that scientists publicize their research to persuade funding agencies rather than for the intrinsic worth of the science. … This is a relevant, readable, informative book … . Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty.” (V. V. Raman, Choice, Vol. 54 (10), June, 2017)
