Science and Citizenship: Democracy in the age of science-mediated risk

这个以社区为基础的项目在古尔本山谷开展，重点是公民就科学专业知识、对风险的认知和参与政策制定进行谈判。它问道：“在一个专业文化激增的世界里，民主怎么可能行得通？”该项目将从市民改造灌溉和农业综合企业的景观以及随着时间的推移提供科学建议的经验中产生一部环境历史。它将探索公民如何根据他们的历史经验处理科学家提出的关于气候变化和环境流动的相互冲突的情景，并试验公共政策形成的新模式。

This community-based project in the Goulburn Valley focuses on citizens' negotiation of scientific expertise, perceptions of risk and participation in policy formation. It asks: 'how can democracy work in a world of proliferating cultures of expertise?' The project will produce an environmental history drawn from citizens' experience of transforming the landscape for irrigation and agribusiness, and of scientific advice over time. It will explore how citizens deal with conflicting scientist-generated scenarios around climate change and environmental flows in the light of their historical experience, and trial new modes of public policy formation.
