Description

This module focuses on the many different ways in which publics engage with science in face-to-face contexts. Teaching will particularly focus on techniques scientists can use to effectively engage members of the public through direct interactions, such as through science festivals and museums. It also will examine the engagement of specific public groups, such as patient and citizen groups, to engage with scientific and medical research. In addition to developing a practical understanding of how to organize such activities, students also will critically reflect on the theory and context that underpins such activities, making use of models of publics and audiences, rationales for engagement in different contexts, and reflecting on wider policy contexts and historical trends. No prerequisites.
