Dear all,
List members might be interested to know about a free event we're holding at
the BA Festival of Science on 9th September.
Are there audiences and channels of communication that current science and
society work has overlooked? Join Science Minister Ian Pearson, Professor Jim
Al-Khalili and other specialists in an interactive workshop to explore ways in
which the public engagement, confidence and skills themes in the current
Science and Society consultation could be widened to include other attitudinal
and demographic groups besides those usually targeted. Audiences with an
interest in arts and humanities, young people in danger of offending, people
with disabilities or those classified in the Public Attitudes Survey as ‘indifferent’
to science and many others could all be influenced by new approaches. Bring
your ideas and an appetite for discussion!
The event will be in the Rotblat LT, Chadwick (Physics), University of Liverpool
