             @epistemographer
Traditional model:
museum/library as
    authority
2.0!
OMG!
EVERYTHING’S
 DIFFERENT!!
Professional vs. Not



      mac vs. pc
Danger
Throwing out baby
(knowledge) with bathwater
(“oppressive” one-way flow)
Need to define
next paradigm
Balance internal and
external expertise(s),
     value both
Look to science for
     models
Gentleman science
Professionalization
Professionalization
         =
creation of “public”
Expert / lay
relationship?
Professional
knowledge?
Public Understanding
      of Science
Citizen science
http://bit.ly/cAF0MC
3 models for public
participation in science:
•   Contributory projects, which are generally designed by
    scientists and for which members of the public primarily
    contribute data

•   Collaborative projects, which are generally designed by
    scientists and for which members of the public contribute
    data but also may help to refine project design, analyze data,
    or disseminate findings

•   Co-created projects, which are designed by scientists
    and members of the public working together and for which
    at least some of the public participants are actively involved
    in most or all steps of the scientific process.
Can citizen science map
 onto the humanities?
    Onto the arts?
