This collection explores the intersection of queerness and science communication, highlighting the contributions of LGBTIQA+ individuals while providing practical examples for promoting inclusivity and equity within the field.
Queering Science Communication is a thought-provoking collection authored by leading experts that delves into the intersections of queerness and science communication. It explores how representations of LGBTQIA+ identities can be integrated into popular science and media, emphasizing the importance of queering existing theories and research agendas within the field. The book serves as a timely reminder of the unique perspectives and contributions that queer individuals bring to science communication, highlighting the necessity of inclusivity and equity.
The collection not only addresses the significance of queer representation in science communication but also provides practical examples and case studies aimed at fostering radical inclusivity. By examining the role of queer individuals in this domain, the authors challenge conventional practices and encourage a reevaluation of how science communication can better serve diverse communities. This focus on inclusivity is crucial for advancing queer visibility and advocating for liberation within the scientific discourse.
Ultimately, Queering Science Communication is an essential resource for academics, students, and practitioners who are committed to creating more equitable and inclusive science communication practices. Through its insightful analysis and concrete recommendations, the book encourages readers to rethink their approaches and to embrace the transformative potential of queering science communication. By doing so, it paves the way for a more inclusive future that recognizes and values the contributions of LGBTQIA+ individuals in the scientific realm.
"The book serves as a great example for not only integrating insights across the continuum of research, practice and teaching in science communication, but also for employing a critical Science and Technology Studies (STS) lens for reflecting on our field’s assumptions, practices and historical frameworks." Journal of Science Communication
"Queering Science Communication is a long overdue critical intervention, bringing queer perspectives, insights, and theories to bear on science communication. It is a fascinating read, elegantly written, and will inevitably become essential reading for anyone interested in science communication. The authors make a significant and novel contribution to science communication theory, practice, teaching, and research." Emily Dawson, University College London
