Hi all,
Help please!
I’m trying to draw together examples, anecdotes and
evidence of what researchers get out of doing public engagement. If you have
any examples please let me know and I’ll post them on the growing list here:
http://www.scoop.it/t/public-engagement-why-bother
You often hear people say things like, “public engagement
can make think about your research differently” or “talking to people helps
you reassess your research questions”. But what’s the evidence for
this?
I’m interested in any benefits that researchers feel they
get out of doing public engagement – better people skills, improved CV, more
funding, improved confidence – but I’m most interested in examples where
public engagement has actually effected what research gets
done.
Do you know of any research in this area or have any
anecdotes to share?
Thanks,
Patrick
