Book Series: Elements in Public Engagement with Science

PEWS has initiated a new interdisciplinary book series with Cambridge University Press: Elements in Public Engagement with Science. This series is edited by a team of multidisciplinary and international editorial board including PEWS Director Angela Potochnik and PEWS Associate Director Melissa Jacquart.

Cambridge Elements  consist of thematic volumes by different authors, intermediate in length between a book and an article. The full list of Cambridge Elements series can be found here.

The covers of Cambridge Elements in Public Engagement with Science will feature an algae cyanotype by Anna Atkins.

The Elements in Public Engagement with Science series is an interdisciplinary exploration of academic research and professional expertise related to interfaces between science and the public. The series aims to make ground-breaking research in areas of public engagement with science more accessible to a wider range of academics and public engagement professionals.
