Summary:
Whether by choice or necessity, social scientists are often called upon to relate their research findings to the public. Many of us have had negative experiences doing so, however, or we simply feel uncomfortable trying to translate our research into understandable language for non-experts. This panel on social science and the media will introduce you to strategies that will allow you to make the media an asset. First, attendees will be encouraged to distill their academic work so they can more effectively communicate with non-scientists. Attendees will also learn (1) how to prepare for print and broadcast interviews, (2) how to minimize the possibility of journalist error, and (3) what they can do to prevent journalists from taking advantage of them. Symposium speakers will explain why working with the media is beneficial to their departments, schools, institutions, and an American public that lacks literacy in our various areas of expertise. Lastly, speakers will discuss how IU scholars, with or without public relations assistance, can use social media to more effectively communicate directly with the public.
