🗣️ Science communication in the wild

At SISSA, Professor Sarah Davies presents her latest work, questioning the idea that science communication is only about how knowledge reaches the public. Drawing on empirical research, the talk explores the many meanings these practices take on for those involved.

Focusing on the role of funding, precarity and scarcity, it highlights how material conditions shape both the experience and the purpose of science communication.

An invitation to look at science communication as it happens in practice, beyond idealised assumptions.

📅 Friday 29 May, 9:00
📍 SISSA

Join us for a conversation on the many dimensions of science communication.
