Description
Science Communication and Trust is a thought-provoking volume that thoroughly explores 'trust' and 'distrust' in science in relation to science communication, and that will act as an important intervention into public and policy discussion of these topics. I look forward to using it in my teaching and beyond! Sarah R. Davies, Professor of Technosciences, Materiality, and Digital Cultures, University of Vienna Trust is a key concept for understanding science communication; yet, it is often the object of stereotypes and prejudices, particularly about (alleged) mistrust in science. The book edited by Fage-Butler, Ledderer and Nielsen is a much welcome contribution to clarify and articulate the multiple dimensions of this concept. Massimiano Bucchi, Professor of Science and Technology in Society, Director of Master SCICOMM, Università di Trento, Italy This timely, genuinely multidisciplinary, volume explores the neglected dynamics of trust in science communication. By highlighting the contextual factors that shape trust in science, the book offers fresh insights into how public trust can be fostered or, conversely, eroded and thus, deepens our understanding of the complex relationship between trust in science and the strategies for communicating its findings. Maria Baghramian, Professor of Philosophy, University College Dublin This open access book presents groundbreaking research with new empirical findings, diverse methods, and advanced theoretical perspectives on science communication and trust. Enhanced by international scholarship, its three thematic sections - trustworthy science communicators, contexts of science communication, and aspects of trust in science - offer invaluable insights. Antoinette Fage-Butler is an Associate Professor at Aarhus University whose research centres on the communication of science, risk and trust. Loni Ledderer, Associate Professor at Aarhus University, investigates change processes in care practices and participation in public health. Kristian H. Nielsen, Associate Professor at Aarhus University, specializes in scientific expertise in public debate and science communication.
