Abstract

Considering growing deliberative turns within and beyond science communication coupled with calls for their systematic evaluations, this paper presents a legitimacy framework to analyze a recent consensus conference on the topic of genome editing. Drawing upon participant surveys (PSs) and interviews, it confirms difficulties of this deliberative method in achieving inclusive input from across society as well as conflicts between deliberative ideals, empirical communication practice, and ensuring impact on policy making. The case calls for more experimentation with hybrid online/offline approaches while staying aware of unequally distributed deliberation abilities and the need for unifying outputs.

通过共识会议的参与式科学传播:对德国基因组编辑共识会议的合法性评估

考虑到科学传播内外越来越多的审议转向以及对其系统评估的呼吁，本文提出了一个合法性框架来分析最近关于基因组编辑主题的共识会议。根据参与者调查和访谈，本文证实了这种协商方法在实现全社会包容性投入方面的困难，以及协商理想、经验沟通实践和确保对政策制定的影响之间的冲突。该案例呼吁对在线/离线混合方法进行更多实验，同时保持对不均匀分布的审议能力和统一输出的需求的认识。
