Cover Race and Sociocultural Inclusion in Science Communication

Race and Sociocultural Inclusion in Science Communication

Innovation, Decolonisation, and Transformation

Restricted access
Editor:
Elizabeth Rasekoala

This radical volume disrupts circular debates around diversity, equity and inclusion in science communication to address the gaps in the field. Bringing to the fore marginalized voices of so-called 'racialized minorities', and those from Global South regions, it interrogates the global footprint of the science communication enterprise.

Index

Conversations around diversity, equity and inclusion in science communication are in danger of generating much concern without effecting change and systematic transformations.

This radical volume addresses these circular discourses and reveals the gaps in the field. Putting the spotlight on the marginalized voices of so-called 'racialized minorities', and those from Global South regions, it interrogates the global footprint of the science communication enterprise.

Moving beyond tokenistic and extractive approaches, this book creates a space for academics and practitioners to challenge issues around race and sociocultural inclusion, providing mutual learning, paradigm-shifting perspectives and innovative ways forward for the science communication advancement agenda.

Elizabeth Rasekoala is the President of African Gong: The Pan-African Network for the Popularization of Science and Technology and Science Communication. She is the first African female recipient of an International Science Communication award, the NAT AWARD 2019, conferred by the Natural Science Museum of Barcelona.
