Critical Science Communication

An approach to science communication that emphasizes questioning assumptions, examining power relations, and attending to the social and political dimensions of how science is communicated. Critical Science Communication doesn't just transmit scientific findings; it also communicates about the context, limits, and politics of those findings. It asks: who funded this research? What are its limitations? How might it be used? What perspectives are missing? Critical Science Communication is science communication with its eyes open, aware of its own role in shaping public understanding and public policy.

Example: "The journalist practiced Critical Science Communication: she didn't just report findings; she also reported who funded them, what limitations existed, what alternatives were being studied. Her readers were better informed—not just about what was known, but about how it came to be known."

Community Gang Up

A mob attack emerging from and enacted by a community, whether online or offline, where the collective weight of community opinion, action, and sanction is brought to bear against an individual or subgroup. Community gang ups are distinguished by their source—not strangers coordinating, but the community itself acting as mob. The target experiences not just attack but expulsion, the withdrawal of belonging, the transformation of what felt like home into a hostile space. Community gang ups may be organized (through community leaders calling for action) or emergent (through viral community sentiment), but they share the unique horror of being attacked by one's own people, exiled from one's own place.

Example: "She'd helped build that neighborhood association, considered them family—then a dispute escalated into a Community Gang Up, and she found herself shunned by people she'd known for decades."
