Public Awareness and Behaviour in Great Britain in the Context of Sunlight Exposure and Vitamin D
In recent years, UK public health messages about the risks of sunlight exposure (skin cancer) have been increasingly balanced by messages about its benefits (vitamin D production). Currently, data about the effects of this shift on public knowledge, awareness, and behaviour are scant. Thus, the objective of this paper is to report the findings of the first large-scale and representative survey of the awareness, knowledge, and behaviour of adults …
Empiricist selves and contingent “others”
The objective of this article is to report the results of 18 semi-structured interviews, conducted in the UK during the spring of 2003, with scientists working in the locally controversial area of crop genetics. Results suggest that, when talking about their own beliefs and actions, most of the scientists utilized what can be referred to as an empiricist repertoire, in which beliefs and actions are seen to derive from the natural world, an object…
Boundary Work, Associative Argumentation and Switching in the Advocacy of Agricultural Biotechnology
Scientific knowledge is important to United Kingdom (UK) governmental policy-making with respect to novel technologies.

More recently, the Department for Environment, Farming and Rura…
