Our work as scholars can matter and be influential on a public level, but the path to becoming a public intellectual, influential policy advisor, valued community resource or go-to person on an issue is not one that most of us are trained for. So how can we land on the public stage and use our research to change hearts, minds, and policy? M.V. Lee Badgett will offer scholars at all stages ways to use their ideas, research and knowledge to change the world. Learn the three strategies of influential scholars – seeing the big picture, developing a strong network, and learning to communicate to many audiences – and how to start using them in graduate school. Get a head start on being a public professor!
