Science Humanities Interfaces: the trialogue video series
During the course of the project a series of video trialogues were conducted in each of the five partner institutions in Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne and Jersey City involving museum professionals, scientists and cultural researchers. These trialogues have been designed to provide an avenue to discuss current exhibitions and programming by museums and science centers on climate change and environmental issues. The trialogues were recorded between November 2008 and May 2009. Participants in the Trialogues were: Professor David Karoly (University of Melbourne), Professor Bob Hodge (University of Western Sydney), Professor Jann Conroy (University of Western Sydney), Mathew Connell (Powerhouse Museum), Janet Carding (Australian Museum), John Long (Museum Victoria), Wayne La Bar (Liberty Science Center).
