Abstract
Under what conditions is science viewed as authoritative and trustworthy in policymaking? Our evidence suggests public willingness to en-gage with scientific content. On a nationally repre-sentative scale, polarisation around science ap-pears to be driven less by anti-science sentiment and more by the perception that other forms of knowledge should also matter. Public participation in the production of science and clearer local relevance of research may mitigate ‘epistemic inequalities’ between experts and citizens.
