Public engagement with science involves more than simply scientists explaining scientific facts to \;the public. Approaches to public engagement must address complex issues like trust in science\, \;political polarization\, and understanding science's methods and social structure. \;

This interdisciplinary workshop brings together academics and practitioners to further theoretical \;and practical resources for \;public outreach \;and \;engagement \;about science. The aim is to (1) \;develop connections between philosophy of science and other disciplines with expertise in public \;engagement and (2) identify and help develop distinctive roles for philosophers of science in the \;interdisciplinary project of engaging the public with science. Workshop themes include:
(1)  \;Science communication: public-facing events\, \;writing\, and social media
(2)  \;Science education: engaging with students and \;educators about science
(3)  \;Informal science education: science encounters for \;all ages in settings such as museums\, zoos\, and libraries
(4)  \;Scientific work with communities: research with \;public participation\, such as citizen science and \;community-based research.

Workshop Program: \;The first two days of the workshop will consist in morning and early-afternoon lectures \;from experts from outside philosophy \;on \;each of these topics\, followed by interactive breakout sessions in the \;late afternoon on each topic. The \;third day will focus on future directions for public engagement within \;philosophy of science. This will include \;working group sessions on each of the four conference themes focused on the prospects for \;philosophy of science contributions to these activities. Each working group will develop a reference \;for philosophers of science beginning work in public engagement.

Registration: Registration is free but required so that we know how many people to plan for\; please register by April 30. \;Register here. \;
