Hi Tay,

In addition to the Bodmer Report, there's loads of other useful reports and resources here: http://www.britishscienceassociation.org/science-society/public-engagement-resources-0 

Best of luck with the internship!

Hi Tay,

I completed a Science Comms Masters and I found the Bodmer report from 1985 (https://royalsociety.org/~/media/Royal_Society_Content/policy/publications/1985/10700.pdf) a really useful introduction to the history of this field.

Hope that helps,

Georgie

Subject: [PSCI-COM] Public Engagement literature

Hi Psci-Commers!

I'm a University of Leeds undergraduate currently undertaking a Year in Industry as part of my 4 - year Human Physiology degree.

I'm working as a Public Engagement Intern for the University and along with Charlotte Haigh, a Faculty of Biological Sciences (FBS) academic and Rose Bavage, Outreach Co-ordinator for FBS, we are co-ordinating a Science Slam to be run next year during the Festival of Science in March and this will form the content of my project and report I produce for the year. We're working with Lewis Hou and Sam Illingworth - two SciComm experts who you may have seen on here - to deliver training to our entrants.

The introduction of the report is being structured as a literature review and I would e grateful if any of you could point me in the right direction towards some useful Public Engagement literature. My review will cover:

*	Where did PE come from/what did it used to be called?
*	Why do we do it?
*	What are the different types?
*	How do we do it? (Historically, for example, it used to be science fairs/shows/exhibitions/talk, but we are moving away from that now - why?
* What are the challenges of measuring public engagement impact? How are we beginning to overcome this?	

My biggest challenge at the moment is finding this literature and so I would be extremely grateful if any of you could help. 

Best wishes,
Tay
