POPULARITY
Who tells the stories of science and who gets to learn from them? We’ve spent this year reckoning with inequity on all sides of research communication. From barriers that stop underserved communities from engaging with research, to biases that can exclude researchers from sharing their work. Listen to Dr. Sunshine Menezes, Executive Director of the Metcalf Institute at the University of Rhode Island, Professor Chris Jackson, Imperial College London, Sibusiso Biyela, a science communicator and columnist, and Lewis Hou, founder of Science Ceilidh discuss inclusive science communication. And keep learning about these issues with the help of the resources below: Inclusive Science Communication, special issue of Frontiers in Communication (https://www.frontiersin.org/research-topics/9107/inclusive-science-communication-in-theory-and-practice) Metcalf Institute’s #InclusiveSciComm symposium (https://inclusivescicomm.org/) Ciencia Puerto Rico (https://www.cienciapr.org/en) Reclaiming STEM (https://reclaimingstem.wardofcode.com/#about) Rightful Presence in STEM (https://cadrek12.org/resources/designing-rightful-presence-stem-role-making-present-practices) Science Ceilidh (https://www.scienceceilidh.com/) Broad Science (https://www.broadscience.org/)
This week we talk to the brilliant director of Science Ceilidh, Lewis Hou. Science Ceilidh started out engaging rural communities with science through traditional Scottish dance. But the term 'Ceilidh' is associated with much more than dancing and similarly, Lewis and his team have expanded their activities into all areas of engagement under the banner of 'social justice'. In this episode we explore what social justice means and how we can embed this into our science communication work.
