The Chicken for the Egg
Trafficking | Transmission | Translation
Science art practices are often framed as science communication in a manner that overlooks the capacity of the arts to provide engagement opportunities beyond discourse. The authors perform a thematic analysis of audience interviews from scientific media art installations that depict complex, intangible, invisible, and ephemeral scientific phenomena, specifically focusing on medical nanotechnology. The analysis reveals that visitors recognize sen…
Emergent Design and Unanticipated Ideas in Asynchronous Online Focus Groups
This article explores methodological advantages and limitations of using asynchronous online focus groups (AOFGs) as an approach to investigating community attitudes and values relating to biotechnology in food production. We describe our experiences using AOFGs during the COVID-19 pandemic as a form of emergent design. We highlight the methodological advantages and limitations of such research approaches, particularly to explore unanticipated id…

How Farm Animal Welfare Issues are Framed in the Australian Media
Neutralising the meat paradox
Not just about “the science”
Previous studies investigating attitudes to genetically modified (GM) foods suggest a correlation between negative attitudes and low levels of science education, both of which are associated with women. In a qualitative focus group study of Australian women with diverse levels of education, we found attitudes to GM foods were part of a complex process of making “good” food decisions, which included other factors such as locally produced, fresh/na…
Happy Chickens Lay Tastier Eggs
Recent public interest in so-called “ethical” food production, and in particular the welfare of intensively housed farm animals, has been linked to an increase in sales of free-range eggs in several countries including Australia. Animal activist groups around the world have campaigned for the abolition of caged-egg production, retailers and large food companies are now sourcing less of these products, and governments in various locales have place…
“If We're Happy to Eat It, Why Wouldn't We Be Happy to Give It to Our Children?” Articulating the Complexities Underlying Women's Ethical Views on Genetically Modified Food
Women are typically seen as gatekeepers in the acceptance of genetically modified (GM) foods because they perform the majority of food related activities in the home. At the same time, it has been reported that they are more opposed to GM foods than men are. We conducted a qualitative study to explore women's attitudes to and values associated with GM foods and situated those attitudes and values in the context of everyday food choices. In this p…
