“Research is not a point of view!” Museums beyond factivism and activism
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This article engages with the role of museums in contemporary science communication. It traces two current communication strategies in museums: factivism and activism. It is argued that we need to go beyond both strands in order to be open to the dilemmas and paradoxes in the relations between science, public life and decision-making.
