Public Scholarship Behind the Podium and On the Screen

Scholars are increasingly asked to share and promote their research by universities, granting organizations or publishers who seek to reach a broader and more diverse audience. These opportunities can be rewarding and can influence the public discourse. I work with scholars from all fields on their presentation skills and offer them practical strategies to hone their technique as public speakers before non-academic audiences and on television. Topics  include how to express complex ideas in a 15-minute presentation that is memorable and connects with the audience, how to make numeric information accessible and meaningful, and how to prepare for live and taped television interviews. 

Most recently, at the 2016 ICA conference in Fukuoka, Japan, I presented my work on public scholarship to scholars from around the world in talk called  "Communicating with Power with the Media". This presentation included a mock interview with that focused on how to present research to a lay audience for maximum impact and exposure.

In 2014, I presented a half-day session on public scholarship at the ICA Conference in Seattle,   covering the fundamentals of public speaking in front a non-academic audience and the basics of live and taped television interviews. Several participants participated in mock TV interviews, which we critiqued.
