About me

David Judge is a Lecturer in Science Communication based in the Science Communication Unit. His research concerns the production and experience of public science from the perspectives of affect, materiality, and space, particularly at sites such as museums and science centres. He is also interested in the funding, institutionalisation and professionalisation of science communication. His practice-oriented research draws on a wide range of qualitative methodological approaches including performative, visual and cartographic methods, as well as action research.
David's latest project, Mapping Open Source Science, in collaboration with We The Curious, is developing new, practice-oriented ways of understanding how scientists are affected by taking part in public engagement.
David completed his PhD in Science Communication at UWE in 2022, with his thesis, titled "Transformative Visitor Experience in a Science Exhibition: Implications for science communication theory and practice."
