About the event

As students we learn the skills necessary to disseminate our research at conferences or in journal publications, which restricts those who have access to our data and ultimately limits our research potential. By attending our skills workshop, you will learn about three different approaches for transforming studies into platforms suitable for the online and public forums. Dr. Kristina Killgrove (University of West Florida) specializes in the online forum and will delve into blogging about science and integrating current global events with ongoing anthropological research. Pamela Mayne Correia (University of Alberta) expertly uses the physical word of mouth to disseminate research and will overview working with sensitive materials and engaging with communities directly. Dr. Kisha Supernant (University of Alberta) is a connoisseur of working with both formats, and will overview her experiences with podcasts, radio, and the Twittersphere. After their formal talks we will have an informative round-table panel discussion where you will get a chance to ask your questions and learn more about the best way for you to make your research accessible.
