*Long Abstract*
"One day I will find the right words, and they will be simple."
(Jack Kerouac)
In this panel, we invite speakers to reflect on their successful as well as
their not-so-successful attempts to engage in public debates and policy
processes outside the ivory tower. Among the issues that we would like to
see addressed:
• Engaging with policy-makers, e.g. how do you explain/publish what you
know in an effective way? What if you get criticized because your results
challenge the dominant discourse? What if your engagement cuts you off
future funding? What if you want to present your research in places where
there is little/no freedom of speech for your audience or your research
participants or yourself (or anyone)?
• The problem of making it simple and sexy, e.g. trying to fit the content
of your 400-page PhD thesis in a 600 word newspaper op-ed, having your
complex thoughts edited down to a juicy newspaper headline, or daring to
write a book that might be read (and enjoyed) by non-academics.
• And what about my academic career? That is, how do we juggle what is good
for the CV and what needs to be done/said/written to address the state of
the world around us?
In line with the theme of the panel, we also invite you to get creative in
regard to your presentations. We encourage you to NOT read your paper.
Instead, you could, for example:
• engage in dialogue with the audience
• use images that are meaningful to your research to stimulate discussion
•'perform' the situations you're telling us about.
