The book delves into various sites where scientists, teachers, artists, and activists claim to create more democratic access to science-from DIY biology community labs to feminist classrooms to activist science practitioners. The reader will find that these claims for and attempts at democratic sciences not only impact what counts as science and who counts as a scientist but reconfigure who is included in the proper public.
