About this work
Description
A book on queer themes and science communication is timely, if not well overdue. LGBTIQA+ people have unique contributions to make and issues to meet through science communication. So, bringing 'queer' and 'science communication' together is an important step for queer protest, liberation, and visibility. This collection examines the place of queer people within science communication and asks what it means for the field to 'queer' science communication practice, theory, and research agendas. Written by leading names in the field, it offers concrete examples for academics, students, and practitioners who strive to foster radical inclusivity and equity in science communication -- From back cover.
