Reviews for Speaking Science to Power: Responsible Researchers and Policymaking

This terrific group of academics provides reflections on the decisions they made when facing a range of ethical dilemmas while conducting research and communicating findings. Scholars who seek to reach broad policy and public audiences and ensure they are pursuing responsible engagement will find this book indispensable. * James Goldgeier, Professor, American University School of International Service Senior Adviser, Bridging the Gap * This volume presents actionable advice for researchers to engage in reflection, deliberation, and careful practice when communicating with policymakers. It should serve as required reading for all social scientists as part of training in responsible conduct of research. * Simine Vazire, Professor, Melbourne School of Psychological Sciences, University of Melbourne * Epstein and Kaplan have collected incredibly valuable perspectives on the seemingly contradictory demands of science and democracy. The book provides insight into the complexities of responsible policy engagement and will be of great value to any expert jumping into the fray of policy and politics. I plan to use it in my graduate seminars on science policy. Highly recommended. * Roger Pielke, Jr., Professor, University of Colorado, Boulder *
