This book offers students, academics and professional researchers a broad survey of ways to popularize research. Although each chapter discusses unique experiences, each follows a standard format, touching upon common elements: outlining what the research popularized was about, why the decision to popularize it was made, why certain media and genres were employed, what lessons researchers learned in the process, and how audiences responded. Throughout the book, readers are directed to the book’s accompanying website, an excellent resource for highlighting how examples in the book come to life, what they sound like, and what they look like. Written in a clear and accessible style, this volume avoids specialized terminology and instead employs basic language that any student, academic, and professional across the social sciences and humanities will understand.
Phillip Vannini is Professor in the School of Communication & Culture at Royal Roads University and Canada Research Chair in Innovative Learning and Public Ethnography. He is author/editor of eight books, including Authenticity in Culture, Self, and Society (edited with J. Patrick Williams, 2009), The Cultures of Alternative Mobilities: Routes Less Travelled (2009), Material Culture and Technology in Everyday Life: Ethnographic Approaches (Peter Lang, 2009), and The Senses in Self, Society, and Culture: A Sociology of the Senses (authored with Dennis Waskul and Simon Gottschalk, 2011).
