Supergrans and nanoflowers
This paper explores the use of communication strategies to promote the social acceptance of science. It considers how gender and ethnicity are being constructed in science promotion and marketing, and discusses the intersections of knowledge, colonization and commercialization in science discourses. We critically assess a series of advertisements, posters, and news media articles published in Aotearoa New Zealand during 2000–2009, a period of sig…
Engaging across Boundaries—emerging Practices in ‘Technical Democracy’
This special issue examines strategies for public engagement in science and technology issues in Australia, Japan and Aotearoa/New Zealand. It traverses issues relating to new energy technologies, food nanotechnology, the environmental impacts of dioxins, toxic waste disposal, genetic modification and the way scientists engage with the social dimensions of new biotechnologies. The papers look critically at engagement across scientist/non-scientis…

The privatization of public talk
The highly politicized genetic engineering debate in New Zealand in 1998–2002 led to a government-funded trial of “dialogue” communication methods to improve relations between “science and society”.Footnote1 Significant breakthroughs were achieved in reducing conflict, identifying common ground, and articulating social values and preferences for future science and technology. While “dialogue” was initially recognized as a deliberative practice wi…
