Science permeates contemporary culture, from the technology in our daily 
lives to our dreams of other worlds in fiction. Studying science in 
popular culture is essential to understanding how scientific ideas are 
utilized, explored, critiqued and sometimes exploited outside of their 
formal contexts and how popular audiences understand science. Popular 
fascination with science has even created a cultural niche of its own, 
giving rise to new engagements with scientific knowledge, practice, and 
technologies.


The Journal of Science & Popular Culturepublishes qualitative and 
quantitative research aimed at an interdisciplinary audience, exploring 
the interrelationship of popular culture and science – broadly defined 
as including traditional sciences like biology, chemistry and physics, 
as well as medicine, psychology and technology. In addition to 
peer-reviewed research articles, JSPC publishes relevant commentaries 
from scholars, practitioners, and professionals examining contemporary 
issues, controversies and future extrapolation, and reviews of new and 
notable works in the field.


Potential topics include (but are not limited to):

• Representations of science/scientists in television, film, art, print, 
and other media

• The cultural influence of science/influences of culture on science and 
scientists

• Use of popular culture texts (novels, films, television series, etc.) 
to argue for or against scientific theories such as evolution and 
climate change

• Science-related cultural artefacts

• Scientists as celebrities/celebrity advocates of science

• Science communication, popularization and education
