About the
conference
Now in its 7th year, the Science in Public conference
brings together those strands of academia which consider the relationships
between science and ‘the public’, multiple publics, and the public sphere. This
conference provides a wide-ranging platform for discussing and debating
emerging cross-disciplinary perspectives, as well as showcasing recent and
developing research findings. Delegates come from many disciplines: science and
technology studies, history of science, geography, psychology, cultural
studies, media studies, sociology, science communication, development studies,
English literature, science policy studies and more.
This year, the conference will host the initial meeting
of the Science in Public Research Network an opportunity for
academics and others interested in research to meet, discuss the field, and
stay in touch beyond the conference.
