Abstract: | The learning of socio-scientific knowledge and practices in and out of school is facilitated by the participation of working scientists. In 2016, I interviewed 18 key informant climate scientists from a longitudinal ethnographic study initially conducted in 2009-2012, to examine how their participation in education and communication had evolved over time. Findings indicate that scientists’ science and SEC identities were intertwined. Further, science and SEC trajectories were shaped by an increasingly polarized social context, as well as scientific structures that limited stability and at times misaligned with scientists’ values. |
