PhD Course Pushing the Boundaries of Science Communication at University of Copenhagen

Medical Museion at the University of Copenhagen is hosting a 4 day PhD course on March 4th-7th 2013, as part of the Medical Science and Technology Studies Graduate Programme. The course, 'Pushing the Boundaries of Science Communication', takes an interdisciplinary approach to science communication and medicine, and is described here and on our blog.

The lecturers will be myself and Prof. Thomas Söderqvist from Medical Museion, plus Prof. Maja Horst from the University of Copenhagen and Asst. Prof. Jenell Johnson from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The course is relevant to students from disciplines including sociology, anthropology, STS, and media, culture, and communication studies, whose research focuses on public health, biomedical research, medical technology or clinical practice. It's also relevant to students from medicine or public health with a strong interest in studying or contributing to public communication, and we'll be mixing lectures with practical and hands-on activities.

If you'd like to take part, you can apply through the course catalogue link above, and please do forward this to anyone who might be interested. If you have any questions about the course, or any tips for materials, activities, or similar courses, send me an email on louise.whiteley@sund.ku.dk.

Thanks very much,
Louise.
