Engaging the Public with Science (HPSC0127)

This module focuses on the many different ways publics engage with science in face-to-face contexts. It will focus on direct interactions through events, such as science festivals, and through other informal activities. It also will focus on how specific public groups, such as patient and citizen groups, get involved, engage, and sometimes contribute to scientific and medical research. In addition to gaining practical experience with organizing such activities, students also will reflect critically on the theory and context that underpins these activities. Reflection includes sociological models for publics and audiences, rationales for engagement in different communities, wider policy contexts, and historical trends.
