SPOKES #3

Science is not the same everywhere

Featured in the Spokes article collection Equity and inclusion

Science is not the same everywhere. Science is not the same for everyone. What is not universal nor objective is the meaning of science for the people who encounter it.

The challenges of social exclusion/inclusion are not new. Yet to date, despite many thousands of 'interventions', science centres and museums are still visited by a socially narrow 'public', argues Merzagora. We must think critically about why and how social exclusion happens and why it is so resilient.
