Graduate Student Workshop Panel: Writing for the Public
This quarter the Graduate Student Workshop will host a panel discussion on "Writing for the Public." Three UCI faculty have very generously agreed to share their insights in bridging academic and public audiences. Our three presenters will be:
- Amy DePaul, an award-winning journalist and instructor in the Literary Journalism program at UCI who regularly writes on issues of public health.
- Dr. Emily Baum, whose work on the history of medicine in China has appeared in Aeon and the Los Angeles Review of Books.
- Dr. David Fedman, a historian of Japan who is currently finishing work on Paper City Tokyo, a documentary about the firebombing of Tokyo during WWII.
- What are the differences between writing for the public vs. writing for an academic audience?
- How do I translate my scholarly research for a wider public audience?
- How do I approach a publication with a pitch for an article?
We'll hear from the three speakers and then transition to a Q&A discussion. So those of you that are curious about getting into more "public-facing" writing, be sure to come with your questions.
