Routledge handbook of public communication of science and technology

Bucchi, Massimiano, Trench, Brian

First ed. published in 2008; 2nd ed. in 2014

Summary: Communicating science and technology is a high priority of many research and policy institutions, a concern of many other private and public bodies, and an established subject of training and education. In the past few decades the field has developed and expanded significantly, both in terms of professional practice, and in terms of research and reflection. At the same time, particularly in recent years, interactions between science and society have become a topic of heated public and political debates touching issues like quality and credibility of information, trust in science and scientific actors and institutions and the roles of experts in crises and emergencies. This book provides a state-of-the-art review of this fast-growing and increasingly important area, through examination of research done on the main actors, issues and arenas involved

The third edition of the Handbook brings the reviews up-to-date and deepens the analysis. As well as substantial re-working of many chapters, it includes four new chapters addressing enduring themes, recent trends and new proposed insights on science communication as culture and as the social conversation around science. New contributors are added to the group of leading scholars in the field featured in the previous editions
