Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Options for teaching science writing in humanities courses Science writing is an expansive genre that invites collaborations between the humanities and science—not as separate endeavors but as mutually constitutive practices. Engaging with long-standing scholarly conversations in science and technology studies, literature and science, rhetoric, and science communication, the essays in this volume showcase the value of science writing as a mode of cultural analysis, as an object of close reading, and as a foundation for justice-oriented pedagogies. Readers will find practical strategies for teaching science writing in literature, writing, and interdisciplinary classrooms, from general education courses to electives to graduate courses.
