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
