This book introduces environmental participation as a distinct
field comprising diverse practices. It presents examples of public
participation specifically in environmental science, decision
making and expertise. The first chapter introduces the science
studies perspective and the key concepts that underpin the argument
for approaching such a range of practices as a coherent field. The
following three chapters explore a wide range of practical examples
of how the public can participate in all three domains. Drawing on
her experience with a variety of transdisciplinary projects
Landstroem discusses topics including the coproduction of knowledge
about flooding, community involvement with radioactive waste
disposal and collaborative water quality modelling. She then goes
on to cover citizen science and social movement expertise as
environmental participation practices. The concluding chapter
reflects on the challenges as well as future opportunities of
environmental participation. This book is aimed at readers from a
variety of academic and non-academic backgrounds and will be a
great interest to social and natural scientists, students and
practitioners.
