Abstract

This study explores alternative forms of public engagement with science through 25 semi-structured interviews with England-based participants from demographic groups traditionally associated with low levels of engagement. When considering established ways to engage with science, informants do not identify themselves as engaged and provide pragmatic reasons for their disengagement. However, as they elaborate on their personal experiences with science, they realize that science is more woven into their lives than initially acknowledged. The results underscore the pivotal role of personal perceptions and experiences in shaping (dis)engagement, emphasizing the interplay between these perceptions and science institutions, and challenging the conventional framework.

超越审议：公众（不）参与科学的替代形式

本研究通过对 25 位来自英格兰的参与者进行半结构式访谈，探索了公众参与科学的其他形式，这些参与者来自传统上参与程度较低的人口群体。在考虑参与科学的既定方式时，受访者不认为自己参与了科学，并为自己不参与科学提供了务实的理由。然而，当他们阐述自己与科学的个人经历时，他们意识到科学与他们生活的交织程度比最初认识到的要高。研究结果强调了个人认知和经验在形成（不）参与中的关键作用，强调了这些认知和科学机构之间的相互作用，并对传统框架提出了挑战。
