Webinar: Social Media for Scholar Activists.

Webinar

The Drug Policy Alliance Office of Academic Engagement is excited to announce our third in a series of webinars to enhance the ability of scholars to impact policy. we will host a FREE webinar on Social Media for Scholar Activists.

In these days of renewed attacks on science, the arts, and humanities, scholars may wonder what they can do in the face of these challenges. Telling stories about the work we do as scholars can be part of the strategy for countering these attacks, and has never been more urgent. Unfortunately, most academics, though experts in their field, are unprepared for how to go about doing this.

In this engaging webinar, expert Jessie Daniels offers insight and hands-on, how to steps for telling engaging stories as a public academic. In this webinar, you’ll learn about some basics about making your research available and about how to use social media to cultivate the right audience for your work. Daniels will also talk about ways to navigate some of the unique challenges for scholars in a digital era.

We hope you join us for this insightful and much needed webinar on May 9th, 2017 at 4:00-5:00 PM EST. This webinar is FREE, but you must register here.
