Science and Spectacle relates the construction of the telescope to
the politics and culture of post-war Britain. From radar and atomic
weapons, to the Festival of Britain and, later, Harold Wilson's
rhetoric of scientific revolution, science formed a cultural
resource from which post-war careers and a national identity could
be built. The Jodrell Bank Radio Telescope was once a symbol of
British science and a much needed prestigious project for the
Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, but it also
raised questions regarding the proper role of universities as sites
for scientific research.
