| Abstract | This article seeks to address the lack of sociocultural diversity in the field of science communication by broadening conceptions of citizen science to include citizen social science. Developing citizen social science as a concept and set of practices can increase the diversity of publics who engage in science communication endeavors if citizen social science explicitly aims at addressing social justice issues. First, I situate citizen social science within the histories of citizen science and participatory action research to demonstrate how the three approaches are compatible. Next, I outline the tenets of citizen social science as they are informed by citizen science and participatory action research goals. I then use these tenets as criteria to evaluate the extent to which my case study, a community-based research project called Rustbelt Theater, counts as a citizen social science project. © The Author(s). |
Addressing diversity in science communication through citizen social science. Science communication literature should reflect all the STEM fields while being open to the more humanistic methods of empirical research found in the social sciences. The goal of Theater of the Oppressed is for participants to dramatically analyze real-life oppressions/obstacles/challenges they face and act out potential solutions to overcome them. Conclusion: challenges and opportunities of citizen social science research A challenge researchers and practitioners face in community-based research is eval- uating the extent to which projects have met the CSS science tenets I have outlined in this article.
