audiences ranging from community groups to members of Congress. The morning overview session will discuss opportunities for political scientists to share their work with non-academic audiences and examine the value of this public engagement; provide tips on communicating academic research in clear and concise formats; and discuss general strategies for communication in various contexts, including writing op-eds, engaging with journalists, riefing policymakers, and using Twitter. At the series of short sessions that follow, political scientists who regularly engage in the public arena will provide in-depth training on specific types of engagement, such as blogging, media interviews, and policy briefings.
