A book on queer themes and science communication is timely, if not well overdue.
LGBTIQA+ people have unique contributions to make and issues to meet through science communication. So, bringing ‘queer’ and ‘science communication’ together is an important step for queer protest, liberation, and visibility.
This collection examines the place of queer people within science communication and asks what it means for the field to ‘queer’ science communication practice, theory and research agendas.
Written by leading names in the field, it offers concrete examples for academics, students and practitioners who strive to foster radical inclusivity and equity in science communication.
"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
