Becoming a Public Scholar: Connected Academics for Arts Speaker Series
How can you become a public scholar who shares their research beyond the university, creates a positive impact and facilitates change? From co-designing research projects with community partners to advocacy-based research for the public good to translating your research to be accessible to a wide audience, public scholarship can take many forms. In this session, we will talk about how you can get started on the path to becoming a public scholar. Join us in a conversation with Prof. Jason Opal (McGill University) and Prof. Kimberley Manning (Concordia University) about finding an audience for your work beyond the ivory tower.
Food and non-alcoholic drinks provided!
All events in this series are free.
