Laboratory
Lifeworlds?
Thursday
6 July 2006, Oxford University
Linacre College, South Parks Rd, Oxford, OX1 3JA
|
In this
second seminar in the Locating Technoscience series, we explore
the importance of space in understanding the idea and role of so-called
'lay' knowledge or everyday expertise.
Building
on,
and questioning,
the social and spatial imaginaries underpinning much work in
the public understanding of science, we seek to generate new insights
into the democratisation of expertise in an increasingly complex
society.
