Science and scientific thinking was historically not only useful for the deeper discovery of the world, but also for thinking through better ways for societies to live in community. In this workshop we will resurface the relationship between science and democracy, interrogate its assumptions, and identify specific teaching strategies that allow our classrooms to be places that cultivate civically-engaged students.
We will involve participants in active dialogue, show connections with the open pedagogy of open science, and invite others to discuss how we can intentionally prepare future scientists and citizens that are immersed in values of authentic, equitable collaboration and focused on building a more sustainable and just world.
