Abstract

This study investigates how tenure-track faculty from historically marginalized groups in the environmental sciences approach science communication based on their self-identities. A thematic analysis of 28 in-depth interviews with U.S.-based participants using the Communication Theory of Identity and Border-Crossing Theory was conducted to explore the interrelation of layers of identity, the identity gaps participants experience, and their communication practices. The results show that communication merges fragments of identity not to form a fixed identity, but to create an evolving consciousness about who you are and how you communicate. Implications for science communication training are discussed.

美国的少数族裔科学家:科学传播的身份视角

本研究调查了环境科学领域历史上边缘化群体的终身教职教师如何基于自我身份进行科学传播。本文运用身份传播理论和跨界理论对28位美国参与者进行了深度访谈，探讨了身份层之间的相互关系、参与者所经历的身份差距以及他们的传播实践。结果表明，沟通融合了身份的碎片，并不是为了形成一个固定的身份，而是为了创造一种关于你是谁以及你如何沟通的不断发展的意识。讨论了科学传播训练的意义。
