What conceptual frameworks and broader sociocultural perspectives can research in the Communication field provide that would support citizen science projects? How can citizen science projects be leveraged as platforms for communication research, testbeds for applying communication theories, or windows into social practices of expertise construction? After brief provocations from scholars in the two fields, all Symposium participants will be invited to contribute their own views.
