If you're in an academic career, or if you're looking to pursue one, communicating your research to a range of audiences is probably going to be an important part of what you do. The Conversation is a platform for academics aimed at encouraging exactly this. Oxford is a member of The Conversation and as such receives regular opportunities for researchers across the University to contribute articles and to take part in hands-on training to enhance writing and engagement skills.
This introductory online session is suitable for Social Sciences and Humanities researchers at all career stages.
Topics covered:
What is The Conversation, its origins and aims; what it does and why
