Special Events:
Workshop Luncheon: Use of Social Media to Promote Your Policy Research
Speakers: Jennifer Doleac, University of Virginia; Dan Kaplan, IMPAQ International; Tarvaris McCoy, Virginia Commonwealth University; and Liza Morris, American University
Is there a science to communicating about research? Research articles are not automatically cited by the media, shared on social media, or referenced by policy makers. Today, you need to plan and promote to gain attention for your work. Join us to learn more about best practices in this area. During the session, communication and social media experts will discuss ways to use social media (Twitter, Facebook, blogs) to expand the audience for your research. Attendees will learn how to disseminate their research across social media networks and how to influence policymakers by distributing research findings outside of traditional channels.
