Topic: Live on Zoom: Owning and Honing Your Voice: A Public Writing Webinar for Academics
Many academics dream of sharing their research and expertise beyond the ivory tower, on media outlets such as the New York Times and NPR. However, the transition from academic to public writing can be intimidating for a variety of reasons--unfamiliarity with journalistic conventions, fear of being dismissed for making their work "too accessible" (as if that's a bad thing!), and above all, a lack of self-belief in one's expertise. In this webinar, they will discuss the mindset and mechanics behind transitioning from writing for fellow scholarly experts to writing for the public--from the art of pitching articles to landing a "big 5" publishing deal.
All UO students have FREE access to this resource. Please activate your account before logging in. If needed, you can activate your account by visiting this link: https://ow.ly/HH4950ReApp and selecting "Is your institution already a member?"
