Dustin;
Two volumes I can suggest:
Museums and Social Issues, Vo 1, No 1 2006, Museums and Public
Understanding of Science has a number of articles relating to
evolution and the public. Judy Diamond and Judy Scotchmoor (pp 19-47)
have a review on museums that have evolution Exhibitions.
ASTC Dimensions, March/April 2006 has several article relating to the
public and evolution including an article a survey of visitors to
science centers and their attitudes to evolution.
Contact me off line if you need a copy of the survey or parts of the
ASTC Dimensions article.
