Getting the Word Out and Getting Your Message Across

Getting the Word Out and Getting Your Message Across

Called knowledge transfer, knowledge exchange and now engagement, the ability to communicate with audiences outside the academy is now a crucial part of the life of any successful academic. Put simply: we are all looking to have ‘impact’. This workshop will look at how to generate public interest in your work and become what the media refer to as ‘good talent.’ This workshop supports the ANU 3 Minute Thesis and Visualise Your Thesis competition.

By the end of this workshop you will:

• Be able to ‘mine’ your work for good stories
• Identify possible audiences for these stories
• Know how to ‘sell’ your stories and deal successfully with the media

This workshop will be presented by Simon Clews from the University of Melbourne, author of The New Academic (coming from NewSouth books in September this year), who has spent the last decade and a half encouraging, motivating and training academics to engage with the world beyond the academy.
