Professor Achiam Bio:
Marianne Achiam is an associate professor at the Department of Science Education, University of Copenhagen, Denmark, where she leads the research group on science communication. Her research investigates the processes by which the science of scientists is embodied in science communication initiatives and activities (e.g. exhibitions, talks, workshops, festivals) to ultimately become the science of the participants. In recent years, her focus has been on wicked sustainability problems, and the implications of sustainability for science communication research and practice. Marianne’s teaching is closely linked to her research and seeks to provide students with competencies and self-efficacy in communicating sustainability science to make a difference. She has published research in international, peer-reviewed journals in the fields of science communication, museology, and science education, has authored several chapters for peer-reviewed edited volumes, and has edited books published by Springer and Routledge.
