In the still relatively immature state of research on public understanding of science, a useful approach to the question of what should be done next may be to recount one or two experiences from the research front and offer some reflections on what they mean. I lay no claim to offer a systematic and exhaustive research agenda, but the questions thus highlighted invite us to think about where some taken-for-granted problem-definitions have come from, and how they could be fruitfully reoriented and linked with other areas of science studies. The most important general claim I shall make is that problems in public understanding of science reflect problems in the representation, organization and control-the broad political culture-of science which need to be brought out from the shadows in which they have been placed by the dominant approach.
