Odum Institute: Being Public and Engaging Policy

Fri. 27 Oct, 2023 10:00 am - 3:30 pm

Being Public and Engaging Policy

This one-day course will be offered via Zoom only. Course schedule is 10:00am – 3:30pm, with a 1 hour lunch and (2) 10 minute breaks (1 in morning and 1 in afternoon). Attendance is required as it will not be recorded.

Academics are increasingly asked to engage with public actors from policymakers to journalists. Rarely, however, are academics given any guidance or strategies for doing so. In this workshop, Dr. Ray will provide strategies for interacting with journalists, policymakers, and bureaucrats. Participants will learn best practices for amplifying their research to broader publics as well as ways to engage in self-care to continue the work. In addition to publishing over 50 books, articles, and book chapters, Ray has testified at the federal and state levels and written over 50 op-eds for outlets including New York Times, Washington Post, Newsweek, and Insider. Ray has appeared on CNN, MSNBC, BBC, NPR, and others. From 2018-2022, Ray co-edited Contexts Magazine: Sociology for the Public, which garnered over one million views and downloads per year. He was recently awarded an Andrew Carnegie Fellowship.
