Andrea Declich and Luciano d’Andrea, Socialization of science: The Covid 19 pandemic

Chair: Kenneth Kosik, co-director Neuroscience Institute UCSB

The talk focuses on the dynamic of socialization of science as one of the most relevant processes in late modern society. Poor socialization of science has profound effects on the relation between science and society, including on technology development, use of technology and emergency preparedness and response. The Covid-19 pandemic and how it is being managed (particularly in Italy) is an example of the effects that such a difficult relation brings about.

His research interests in the last decade have focused on science-society relations, as an observation field to analyze transformation processes in contemporary societies. He has also been taking part in research projects on public engagement with science and technology, gender equality in science, responsible research, knowledge brokerage, and the socialization process of science and innovation.
