About me
David Judge is a Lecturer in Science Communication based in the Science Communication Unit.
David’s research explores how people produce, organise and experience science-related public spaces like science centres, museums and public art. His work focuses on the material, spatial and affective dimensions of science in public space, as well as how this kind of work is funded and becomes institutionalised.
David’s most recent project, drawing on archival material, is tracing the Bristol 2000 development of Canon’s Marsh in the 1990s to understand how science became entangled with ideas about culture, leisure and urban regeneration. This project asks why a science centre ended up at the heart of a massive urban regeneration project and aims to shed light on the complexities and influences of capital funding on science communication.
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."
