摘要

科学传播在文化参与和终身科学学习中发挥着举足轻重的作用。然而,在这些努力中,由于优先考虑特定个人的做法,如那些富裕、受过大学教育、身体健康和已经参与科学活动的人,历史上被边缘化的群体的价值仍然被低估。科学传播者可以通过承认围绕科学的历史和文化交错层面,超越大多数文化的层面,并实践包容性的科学传播努力,来避免这些做法。在此,我们将定义和描述包容性科学传播的重要性,并概述我们如何在美国西南部农村社区的地方教育项目传播实践中使用基于资产的社区参与框架。我们介绍了如何设计我们的交流空间,如何找到我们的声音,以及如何与非英语社区和双语社区进行有效交流。我们提供了 "我们是水 "计划的实例,展示了我们如何利用包容性科学交流实践来更广泛地与不同社区接触,并为倾听和分享社区的声音创造空间。我们的结论是,包容性科学传播策略和以资产为基础的社区参与框架的使用使 "我们是水 "计划与农村社区建立了联系,同时在传播方式上提升了历史上被边缘化的声音,为社区通过回忆和故事分享自己的经历创造了空间,并尊重了不同的观点和认知方式。

Elevating community voices through inclusive science communication: a case study of the We are Water program in the Southwestern United States
Science communication plays a pivotal role in cultural engagement and life-long science learning. However, historically marginalized communities remain undervalued in these efforts due to practices that prioritize specific individuals, such as those who are affluent, college-educated, able-bodied, and already scientifically engaged. Science communicators can avoid these practices by acknowledging the intersecting historical and cultural dimensions surrounding science beyond those of the majority culture and practicing inclusive science communication efforts. Here, we define and describe the importance of inclusive science communication and outline how we use an asset-based community engagement framework in a place-based education program's communication practices with rural communities in the Southwestern United States. We describe how we designed our communication spaces, found our voice, and effectively communicate with non-English speaking and bilingual communities. We provide examples from the We are Water program, demonstrating how we utilize inclusive science communication practices to engage more widely with diverse communities and create space for community voices to be heard and shared. We conclude that the use of inclusive science communication strategies and an asset-based community engagement framework has allowed the We are Water program to connect with rural communities while communicating in a way that elevates historically marginalized voices, creates space for communities to share their own experiences through memories and stories, and honors diverse perspectives and ways of knowing.
