Compare Science Communication by Sarah R. Davies, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

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. | Science Communication by Sarah R.
