They have recently launched four new online, self-paced short courses that cover how to pitch and write for The Conversation and reach non-academic audiences:
- The Conversation: who we are and how we work with academics
- How to write for The Conversation
- How to pitch to The Conversation
- Writing for Insights (their longer-form articles)
Each course is made up of a series of short videos with practical tips and insights that you can come back to as and when, and in whatever order you like.
As the University is a member of The Conversation, all researchers (including DPhils) are eligible to access the training.
