Widening the Circle: Communicating Science and Religion to Broader Audiences

How can experts in the study of science and religion translate insights from their research in inviting, accessible, and accurate ways in order to invite wider conversations about the field among scholars, students, and the public? What are some of the best strategies for identifying and capturing broader interest in science and religion and where are some key locations for this work? These questions are the basis of this roundtable conversation featuring scholars dialoguing with museum professionals. Together, they will discuss strategies for engagement and current projects designed to expand and enhance dialogue about science and religion in classrooms and museums. This roundtable will highlight multiple audiences and paths for expanding conversations about science and religion: 1) in classrooms; 2) with other scholars; 3) among the wider public, especially in museum settings.
