| Abstract: | At the intersection of science and society lies citizen scientists, and they are tasked with being part of the broader public as well as performing scientific legitimacy. This study aims to explore how citizen scientists interact with technology and legitimacy. The study site consists of a canoeing citizen science organization. The author conducted participant observation and collected video data. Results show that much of the anxiety related to legitimacy is deferred to their scientific instruments. |
