Canovan, Cherry – International Journal of Science Education, Part B: Communication and Public Engagement, 2020
Science festivals are seen as a success story for public engagement with science, with numbers rapidly growing. However, research has shown that attendees at such events tend to be more affluent, better-educated and more interested in science than populations at large. This has led to calls for research into how festivals can widen participation…
