Emily Cloyd from AAAS and Elyse Aurbach from the University of Michigan will lead a discussion on how we might understand the public engagement community as a whole. Our #SciEngage community connects scientists and publics in many ways. How do we understand the relationships between different forms of public engagement with science? Which spaces, audiences, practices, and attitudes are common, and which are distinct? How might we leverage our differences to enrich and evolve our collective field? In this #SciEngage meeting, we will explore the AAAS typology of public engagement with science and a case study in mapping and describing the public engagement landscape at the University of Michigan in order to spur these discussions among our community.
