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.
Conversations around diversity, equity, and inclusion in science communication are in danger of generating much concern without effecting change and systematic transformation.
This radical volume addresses these circular discourses and reveals critical gaps in the literature, practices, capacity-building and scholarship within the science communication field regarding race and socio-cultural inclusion. Putting the spotlight on the marginalised voices of so-called ‘racialised minorities’ and practitioners from the Global South, it interrogates the global footprint of the science communication enterprise.
Moving beyond tokenistic and extractive approaches, the 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.
In addition, the book sets out to illuminate the multiple inequality dimensions which characterise the growing Global North-South divide in science communication policies, practices and research, providing exemplars of transformative actions needed to bridge this profound divide.
Finally, this unique volume elaborates on the shared responsibility of science communication stakeholders in both the Global North and South for the delivery of innovative ecosystems that advance sustainable race and sociocultural inclusion in science communication across the globe.

The chapters in this book have shown that science communication and public engagement practices, initiatives and research, take place in highly different contexts, scenarios and settings around the globe. Yet, much of the discourse, practice and research in the field, is still predominantly predicated in the Global North. In order to overcome these ‘skewed’ realities, we need a broader framework for science communication that will transcend the Global North-South inequality divide, and thus, both explain the challenges and opportunities in different contexts, and proffer transformative solutions globally. This concluding chapter outlines the critical role that the decolonisation of science communication can play in bridging this Global North-South divide and spur mutual learning, ‘respectful listening’ and equitable collaborative engagements across this divide. It argues that the decolonisation framework should provide answers to profound questions, such as, how do we re-calibrate the discourses, exemplars, practices and narratives that infuse this globalised science communication arena, in order to engender a level playing field for science communication in the Global South? The chapter concludes with elaborating that science communication and public engagement discourses, paradigms and platforms that enable the field to have a ‘multi-lensed’ understanding of the operations of the craft, in the diverse contexts and scenarios across the globe, are important to building inclusive, engaged, open and dynamic societies. The way forward lies in science communication adopting a transformative ‘wide-angled’ lens in order to better reflect the diverse global populations, contexts and realities, in both the Global South and the Global North regions of the world.
The historical and contemporary trajectories of societal change and transformation on socio-economic and sociocultural indicators of inequality – on race, gender, social class, and other parameters – demonstrate that progressive systemic change is neither inevitable nor to be taken for granted and presumed as sustainable in an ever forward-moving direction. Hence the rationale for this book volume for the science communication field, as a means of advancing the pace of change for diversity, equity and inclusion on race and socio-cultural indicators, in both the Global North and South regions.
This chapter provides a globally inclusive overview of the various descriptions and definitions of key terms used in the book, as well as introducing its four thematic parts and the subsequent chapters therein. The key lessons, messaging points, advocacy and illuminating insights from each chapter are briefly outlined and related to the themes under which they are placed.
The chapter outlines the wide ranging global scenarios encapsulated by the book authors, as well as the broad range of stakeholders in the science communication field whose considerations have been reflected in the book’s chapters, and through this collective overview, demonstrates that the road to innovative transformation and decolonisation in science communication is a challenging but rewarding one.
