Shaaron Leverment (Association for Science and Discovery Centres)

Description

Diversity, equity, access, and inclusion (DEAI) is an ongoing challenge for science and informal science learning organisations are no exception. A number of programmes and initiatives in the UK, often led by ASDC (Association of Science and Discovery Centres), strive to support equitable and inclusive practice in the communication of the physical sciences, moving science centres, and the field, forward in their equity journey.

Shaaron Leverment joins us to share the role of the science capital research in making science more equitable within these programmes, how we have put theory into practice, and how this is helping science centres share content and support the participation in astronomy, astrophysics and space sciences for a far more diverse range of families and young people across the UK.
