1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Psychology
Summary of PhD Program:
“This study explores the shift from the museum’s role as an (educational) institution that mediates knowledge to one that facilitates meaning-making. The focus is particularly on science museums, where objects have traditionally been presented within a framework of knowledge creation through scientific processes. It asks: how can a science museum become a place of active contemplation without compromising its mission to promote critical citizenship and emancipate visitors through scientific literacy? How can that shift redefine the mission of the institution? What are the implications of such a framing for multiperspectivism and for engaging with diverse publics?
