Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Toronto (Canada), 2018.

Critical exhibitions represent a trend in the science museums landscape. These installations, often issues-based, tend to: display complex socio-scientific issues, approach controversy, challenge visitors' points of view, and engage visitors in active ways. Informed by theory in the fields of science communication, scientific literacy and science museums, I examined visitors', curators' and museum educators' perspectives on critical exhibitions in Brazil and Canada. I also investigated dimensions of engagement that visitors experienced in these exhibits.

520 $a Critical exhibitions represent a trend in the science museums landscape. These installations, often issues-based, tend to: display complex socio-scientific issues, approach controversy, challenge visitors' points of view, and engage visitors in active ways. Informed by theory in the fields of science communication, scientific literacy and science museums, I examined visitors', curators' and museum educators' perspectives on critical exhibitions in Brazil and Canada. I also investigated dimensions of engagement that visitors experienced in these exhibits.
520 $a Using a qualitative approach and multiple case study as a research strategy, I examined two individual cases: the exhibits Alerts: Knowing to Prevent. Drugs, Tobacco and Alcohol and Preventing Youth Pregnancy , displayed at the Catavento museum (Sao Paulo, Brazil), and Our World: BMO Sustainability Gallery displayed at the Science World (Vancouver, Canada). In both research sites I conducted observations and interviews with visitors, and interviews with the museum teams. I also collected documents and materials related to the exhibits. In the initial analytical stage, I built individual portraits of each exhibit. In the subsequent stage, I performed cross-case analysis, explored similarities and differences across cases, and generated some theoretical insights about the goals and contributions of critical exhibitions to the science museum landscape.
520 $a Findings of this work reflect the different sets of motivations behind each exhibit, identifying progressive views of scientific literacy with the creation of the Brazilian exhibits. These views include citizen science approaches, associations between socio-scientific issues and cross-curricular themes, nature of science perspectives and civic scientific literacy. The findings also revealed that barriers associated with the creation of these critical exhibitions are related to operational funding, visitor expectations about leisure time and affinity constraints.
520 $a Outcomes of this study also reflect the dimensions of visitors' engagement that emerge when different models of science communication are articulated. These dimensions are particularly complex and deep when the deficit model is used to support other models in the exhibit, including dialogue, participation and dissent, and conflict/action. It is hoped that these findings will impact the work currently done in science museums and the ways in which critical exhibitions can promote public engagement and scientific literacy for citizenship.
