Overview

Conversations around diversity, equity and inclusion in science communication are in danger of generating much concern without effecting change and systematic transformations. This radical volume addresses these circular discourses and reveals the gaps in the field. Putting the spotlight on the marginalised voices of so-called 'racialised minorities', and those from Global South regions, it interrogates the global footprint of the science communication enterprise. Moving beyond tokenistic and extractive approaches, this book creates a space for academics and practitioners to challenge issues around race and socio-cultural inclusion, providing mutual learning, paradigm-shifting perspectives and innovative ways forward for the science communication advancement agenda.

"""This powerful and purposefully uncomfortable book pinpoints how inequalities shape current science communication practices, theories, and narratives, and convincingly calls for radical change."" Barbara Streicher, Austrian ScienceCenter-Network ""I don't think that I am overstating the importance of this book when I say it really does place a line in the sand of science communication before and how we think about science communication afterwards. Since reading the book and reflecting on what I have learned, I genuinely feel this book should be essential reading for all science communicators and science communication stakeholders, including museum workers and staff...This book needed to be written, but more importantly, it really needs to be read."" Laura Bowater, University of Plymouth"
