Communicating Research to Varied Audiences

Jennifer Raff (Associate Professor, Anthropology)

The importance of communicating research to different nonspecialist audiences is more evident than ever these days. In this talk, I will speak about the challenges and opportunities of maintaining a dual focus in my career on both research and science communication, and ways in which universities can support faculty who wish to do more public engagement.

IPSR is a research center supporting social scientists who focus on social problems and policy-relevant questions. Our monthly research luncheons provide a space for affiliated faculty and staff researchers to share their own ongoing work with the KU community.
