[Kok-Sing Tang]

Scientific literacy in a post-truth era

As part of Curtin University's Meet the Experts conversation series, Associate Professor Kok-Sing Tang talks to Dr Brad Gobby about his upcoming book "Discourse strategies for Science Teaching & Teaching"<https://www.routledge.com/Discourse-Strategies-for-Science-Teaching-and-Learning-Research-and-Practice/Tang/p/book/9780367344245> in conjunction with his recent article in The Conversation<https://theconversation.com/teach-questions-not-answers-science-literacy-is-a-crucial-skill-144731> on teaching scientific literacy in a post-truth era.

The book and article emphasize the importance of understanding science as a discourse and what it means to use discourse strategies to facilitate science meaning-making. The conversation will cover both the "why" and "how" to teach science as a discourse and explore implications for policy makers, researchers and teachers.

All are welcome to participate!
