Science Communication (2024)
Authors: Todd P. Newman, Lillie D. Williamson & Micheal A. Xenos
Abstract: This essay advocates for a transformative, community-centric approach to science communication, promoting inclusivity and recognizing the impact of lived experiences. We challenge the prevalent population-centric approach and underscore the importance of engaging persistently marginalized communities, notably Black Americans. Drawing from health communication literature, we unveil a comprehensive project aimed at understanding Black Americans’ experiences and perspectives on science.
