Klappentext zu „Davies, S: Scientists and the Public “
This qualitative study draws on and extends twoimportant concepts of the public understanding ofscience literature: scientists' understandings of'the public', and the currently popular notion ofscience-public dialogue. Using data from interviewswith scientists and engineers, the 'understanding ofthe public by scientists' is examined. Constructionsof publics are also an emphasis in a detailed casestudy of informal science-public dialogue at the DanaCentre, London. Here structures of power andauthority are more traditional than the dialoguemovement's rhetoric would suggest, but there is alsocontinual resistance to and contestation of thesestructures. To conclude, the threads of analysis aredrawn together to provide a theoretical reasoning of,and model for, informal dialogue processes which areable to utilise the sociological complexity ofscientists' talk.
