This book concentrates exclusively on the dialogic turn in the
governance of science and the environment. The starting point for
this book is the dialogic turn in the production and communication
of knowledge in which practices claiming to be based on principles
of dialogue and participation have spread across diverse social
fields. As in other fields of social practice in the dialogic turn,
the model of communication underpinning science and environmental
governance is dialogue in which scientists and citizens engage in
mutual learning on the basis of the different knowledge forms that
they bring with them. The official aim is to involve citizens in
processes of decision-making on scientific and environmental
issues, including issues relating to the built environment such as
urban planning. The attempt in this book has been made to build
bridges across the fields of science and technology studies,
environmental studies and media and communication studies in order
to provide theoretically informed and empirically rich accounts of
how citizen voices are articulated, invoked, heard, marginalised or
silenced in science and environment communication.
