Book
Science v. story : narrative strategies for science communicators / Emma Frances Bloomfield.
"This book uncovers common threads across types of science skepticism to show why these controversial narratives stick and how we can more effectively counter them through storytelling. Science v. Story analyzes four scientific controversies--climate change, evolution, vaccination, and COVID-19--through the lens of storytelling. Instead of viewing stories as adversaries to scientific practices, Emma Frances Bloomfield demonstrates how storytelling is integral to science communication. Drawing from narrative theory and rhetorical studies, Science v. Story examines scientific stories and rival stories, including disingenuous rival stories that undermine scientific conclusions and productive rival stories that work to make science more inclusive"-- Provided by publisher.
