Engaging with long-standing scholarly conversations in science and technology studies, literature and science, rhetoric, and science communication, the essays in this volume showcase the value of science writing as a mode of cultural analysis, as an object of close reading, and as a foundation for justice-oriented pedagogies. Readers will find practical strategies for teaching science writing in literature, writing, and interdisciplinary classrooms, from general education courses to electives to postgraduate courses.

Following an introduction setting out the state of the field and arguing for the inclusion of scientific themes in humanities teaching, each chapter of the book discusses an approach to teaching literary, public-facing, or intra-expert writing that treats scientific topics.
