Скачать или смотреть Alan Irwin - Citizen Science and Scientific Citizenship: same words, different meanings?

Talk by Alan Irwin [Copenhagen Business School, DK] at the Joint Research Centre as part of the STS “Contro Corrente” series of seminars.
15 October 2015

with discussants:
Jerome Ravetz, Institute for Science, Innovation and Society, Univ. of Oxford, UK
Silvio Funtowicz, Univ. of Bergen, NO

This talk sets out to explore the relationship between the still developing phenomenon of citizen science and what I will refer to as ‘scientific citizenship’. Are they essentially synonyms or do they point in different directions? Since both terms are very broad in scope, it may be that no definitive answer is possible (unless that answer is ‘it all depends’). Nevertheless, I believe the question is important, not least in throwing some critical light both on the citizen science movement(s) and on the possibilities for the democratic governance of science and technology.
