Science Denial
Science Denial
Forløbet har til formål at introducere eleverne for eksempler på videnskabsfornægtelse, hvor videnskabelig information – der er ellers er almindeligt accepterede i videnskabelige kredse – alligevel ikke anses som legitime, og hvor alternative forklaringer i stedet florerer – som resultat af bekymring, anti-autoritetstro eller lignende. De primære genstande for undersøgelse i forløbet er Flat Earth Theory og Anti-vaxxers, mens der også trækkes tråde til det tidligere US Election-forløb og fornægtelse af lægevidenskab i forbindelse med håndteringen af corona-pandemien.
