Hi Steve,
Thanks for letting me know. Shame you'll miss it as I think you'd like Beverley's stuff.
Best,
Simon

>> *Details: *In contrast to ‘deficit models’ of public understanding of science, the idea of deliberative dialogue heralding a new relationship between science and society is now firmly established. Such dialogue has been described as more democratic, helping ameliorate an alleged crisis of trust between publics and science, and facilitating a public exercise in ‘ scientific citizenship’. Drawing on literature on science and publics, public participation and citizenship theory this seminar explores the conceptualisation of scientific citizenship, asking how members of the public are constructed as citizens against a broad landscape of different engagement mechanisms. In doing so, I will reflect on the consequences of eliciting scientific citizens, and suggest that the notion is inherently entangled with co-optation and elitism.

>> *About the Seminar Series*
>> The London PUS seminar is an interdisciplinary intercollegiate seminar concerned with the broad range of topics that fall under the headings of public understanding of science, public engagement with science, science communication, and science-in-society. It has been run jointly between LSE and UCL since 1993 and is open to all. Our participants predominantly come from a wide range of academic disciplines, and the science policy and science communication/public engagement communities. It is currently supported by the /Public Understanding of Science/ journal published by SAGE. Dr Simon J Lock
