Marianne Achiam has a PhD in science education, and is Associate Professor at the Department of Science Education, University of Copenhagen, Denmark. Her research is concerned with how the science of scientists becomes embodied in science education and communication contexts (e.g. museums) to eventually become the science of the public. Michael Haldrup is Professor (wsr) in visual culture and performance design at Roskilde University, Denmark. He has written extensively about the performance turn in cultural/social theory, especially with regard to heritage and leisure/tourism studies, including Performing tourist places (Ashgate, 2004) and Tourism, performance and the everyday (Routledge, 2009) and about design and experience-based communication. Kirsten Drotner is Professor of media studies at the University of Southern Denmark and director of two national R&D programmes DREAM and Our Museum.
