Description
Public Engagement With Science examines the conceptual foundations and practical dimensions of how science intersects with the public sphere. Potochnik and Jacquart provide a comprehensive exploration of what public engagement with science actually means, moving beyond simplistic definitions to consider the multiple ways scientists, institutions, and communities can interact productively.
The book addresses key questions about the purpose and value of public engagement, distinguishing between science communication, public understanding of science, and genuine two-way engagement. Through theoretical analysis and practical examples, the authors clarify the project of public engagement and its role in addressing contemporary challenges. This element serves as an essential reference for scientists, science communicators, policymakers, and scholars seeking to understand and improve how science connects with society.
