Intercultural Communication and Science and Technology Studies

Beschreibung

This timely and engaging book addresses communicative issues that arise when science and technology travel across socio-cultural boundaries. The authors discuss interactions between different scientific communities; scientists and policy-makers; science and the public; scientists and artists; and other situations where science clashes with other socio-cultural domains. The volume includes theoretical proposals of how to deal with intercultural communication related to science and technology, as well as rich case studies that illustrate the challenges and strategies deployed in these situations. Individual studies explore Europe, Latin America, and Africa, thus including diverse Global North and South contexts.
Incorporates both theoretical and empirical methods of research
Offers a wide array of case studies, including British public outreach projects and ethnographic fieldwork in Amazonian climate-monitoring projects
Examines how researchers in science and technology studies are also active participants in processes of science communication
