Download The Public Professor: How to Use Your Research to Change the World AudioBook Free

The work of academics can subject and be important on a general population level, but the path to learning to be a public intellectual, important policy advisor, valued community tool, or go-to person on an issue is not one that most scholars are trained for. The Community Teacher offers scholars ways to use their ideas, research, and knowledge to improve the world. The book provides practical strategies for scholars to become more engaged with the general public on a number of fronts: online, on the net, at council hearings, despite having countrywide legislation. Lee Badgett, a veteran insurance plan analyst and general population intellectual with over 25 years of experience linking leading edge research with policymakers and the general public, offers clear and sensible advice to scholars seeking to engage with the world beyond academia. She shows scholars how to start to see the big picture, professional communicating with new viewers, and build strategic professional networks. Learn how to find and develop human relationships with folks who can take your research and ideas into places scholars hardly ever go, and who can get you into Congressional hearings, on NPR, or in to the web pages of The New York Times. Convert your knowledge into clear and engaging emails to use in interviews, blog posts, tweets, and op-eds. Written for both new and experienced scholars and attracting on examples and advice from the lives of important academics, the booklet supplies the skills, resources, and tools to put ideas into action.
