Robert N. Stavins: “Communicating with Broad Audiences”

Open to all.
This event is part an A.D. White Professors-at-Large (ADW-PAL) visit and is cosponsored the Provost’s Office of Faculty Development and Diversity.
Abstract: In addition to his extensive scholarly publications in leading academic (economics, law, and multi-disciplinary scientific) journals, Professor Stavins has used a variety of venues to communicate with broader audiences, including policy makers, private industry, NGOs, and the general public. His communication strategies and methods with these broader audiences will be the focus of the session, which will begin with a brief presentation by Stavins, but most of the time will be reserved for questions and discussion. The approaches covered may include producing: books for policy audiences; monographs; brief (two-page) policy-oriented summaries of scholarly research; interviews with television, radio, and print media; Stavins’s blog; and his podcast.
