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.

这个以社区为基础的Goulburn山谷项目侧重于公民对科学专业知识的谈判、对风险的认识和参与政策制定。它提出的问题是：“民主如何在一个专业文化不断扩散的世界里发挥作用？”该项目将根据市民为灌溉和农业综合企业改造景观的经验，以及长期以来的科学建议，制作一部环境史。它将探索公民如何根据自己的历史经验，应对科学家围绕气候变化和环境流动提出的相互冲突的情景，并尝试新的公共政策形成模式。
