Event description
What is The Conversation? It is an open-access, online platform where scholars and journalists come together to communicate research news with “academic rigour” and “journalistic flair.” The University of Ottawa is a member of The Conversation Canada and our authors publish research findings and expert analyses on a wide range of topics. Researchers at any career stage can become authors, including doctoral candidates. Articles can be republished under a Creative Commons licence.
Join us for this conversation on “The Conversation” and learn more about choosing a timely topic, writing a pitch, and the editorial process. Christine L. Cusack from our Faculty’s Marketing and Communications team will provide background on the platform’s raison d’etre and reach; Professor Sachin Maharaj will discuss his experience as an author; and uOttawa Media Relations Manager Isabelle Mailloux-Pulkinghorn will present best practices for writers and offer expertise during the question and answer session.
