Exclusive Science Communication – Who is really reached and who is left out?

Science communication is becoming increasingly diverse regarding its formats, from science slams to science festivals, from evening lectures to dialog workshops. But does this diversity also apply to the people involved? Doesn’t science communication often only reach audiences who are already interested, while marginalized groups are still left out? Even if there is an increased awareness among scientific institutions and science communicators, many societal groups are still hardly reached by the typical formats of science communication. The barriers and levels of discrimination can vary greatly. The talk will give an introduction into the basic concepts for audience analysis in science communication and present a typology of exclusion factors and access barriers.
