Review

"The book serves as a great example for not only integrating insights across the continuum of research, practice and teaching in science communication, but also for employing a critical Science and Technology Studies (STS) lens for reflecting on our field's assumptions, practices and historical frameworks." Journal of Science Communication"Queering Science Communication is a long overdue critical intervention, bringing queer perspectives, insights, and theories to bear on science communication. It is a fascinating read, elegantly written, and will inevitably become essential reading for anyone interested in science communication. The authors make a significant and novel contribution to science communication theory, practice, teaching, and research." Emily Dawson, University College London
