最近的工作已经开始探索“公众的科学理解”,以及公众对科学的理解。这项研究以这项工作为基础,考察了科学家和工程师谈论公共传播的方式。作者确定了向公众谈论科学传播的目的和内容的一系列方式,认为这些方式的主要框架是单向传播,此外,这种传播往往被构建为困难和危险的。然而,作者进一步确定了一系列以更复杂的术语理解公共交流的少数族裔话语。
Recent work has started to explore "scientific understandings of publics" alongside public understandings of science. This study builds on this work to examine the ways in which public communication is talked about by scientists and engineers. The author identifies a range of ways of talking about the purposes and content of science communication to the public, arguing that the dominant framework for these is one-way communication, and that, in addition, such communication tends to be constructed as difficult and dangerous. However, the author further identifies a range of minority discourses that understand public communication in more complex terms.
