Annotated Bibliography: Modeling Zoos and Aquariums and Inclusive Communities of Science (MoZAICS) for Autistic Individuals

The first phase of the Modeling Zoos and Aquariums as Inclusive Communities of Science for Autistic Individuals (MoZAICS) research was an in-depth review and synthesis of existing literature in the informal STEM learning (ISL) and adjacent (e.g., recreation, tourism) fields. This annotated bibliography was created to leverage prior research from fields relevant to zoos and aquariums by synthesizing studies and translating them into actionable guidance for inclusive practices that serve autistic staff and visitors in informal STEM learning contexts.
