| Description | What role can academics play in solving contemporary problems? How can we break out of the cloistered world of academic journals and conferences and share research with a broad audience? How can we bring facts to the forefront of urgent issues? This interdisciplinary program provides faculty and students practical guidance on engaging the public and policy-makers via the press (print, radio, and television), social media, and other venues.
