·         How is “participation” ascribed meaning and practised in science and environment communication?

·         And how are citizen voices articulated, invoked, heard, marginalised or silenced in those processes?

Citizen Voices: Performing Public Participation in Science and Environment Communication (Phillips, Louise, Carvalho, Anabela and Doyle, Julie [editors], ECREA Book Series, Bristol: Intellect Publishing) goes beyond the buzzword of “participation” in order to give empirically rich, theoretically informed and critical accounts of how citizen participation is understood and enacted in mass mediation and public engagement practices.

The book  is the product of collaboration between ECREAs Science and Environment Communication Section and NordForsk Network for the Study of the Dialogic Communication of Research. It was selected by the Executive Board of ECREA (European Communication Research and Education Association) for sponsored publication in Intellect’s ECREA Book Series in 2012 (the Board sponsor one book per year).
