我们生活在一个科学信息丰富的时代，但获取信息和公众实质性参与科学进程和成果的机会仍然分布不均。即使对科学传播和公众参与科学的兴趣日益增加，但在这些努力中，历史上被边缘化和少数化的个人和社区在很大程度上被忽视和低估。为了解决这一差距，本文旨在定义包容性科学传播，澄清和扩大该领域。我们将包容性科学传播作为解决不公平获取和参与STEMM（科学，技术，工程，数学和医学）的系统性问题的一条途径。我们描述了第一次全国包容性科学传播（InclusiveSciComm）研讨会在美国举行的经验的基础上组织的研讨会，我们讨论了其他会议的建议，以帮助建立一个实践社区的包容性科学传播。在研究和实践中，我们倡导更多的实验，以帮助使包容性科学传播成为科学传播的未来，以使不同的公众以多种方式了解并扩大对STEMM的归属感。
We live in an era of abundant scientific information, yet access to information and to opportunities for substantive public engagement with the processes and outcomes of science are still inequitably distributed. Even with increasing interest in science communication and public engagement with science, historically marginalized and minoritized individuals and communities are largely overlooked and undervalued in these efforts. To address this gap, this paper aims to define inclusive science communication and clarify and amplify the field. We present inclusive science communication as one path forward to redress the systemic problems of inequitable access to and engagement with STEMM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine). We describe the first national Inclusive Science Communication (InclusiveSciComm) Symposium held in the U.S. Based on the experience of organizing the symposium, we discuss recommendations for other convenings to help build a community of practice for inclusive science communication. In both research and practice, we advocate for more experimentation to help make inclusive science communication the future of science communication writ large, in order to engage diverse publics in their multiple ways of knowing and expand a sense of belonging in STEMM.
