You research and write about work in your discipline, but do you want the knowledge you create to be confined to audiences in your field—or do you want to reach broader audiences and have a broader impact?  If you plan a career in academia, there is increasing demand to communicate research beyond disciplinary borders, and if you are considering a career outside of academia, the ability to communicate your research and why it matters is a crucial skill.  This workshop series will offer guidance on how to write for broader audiences (interdisciplinary, general public, the under-18 crowd) and across multiple media (blogs, tweets).  Time will be spent during each session writing and reviewing with peers.  Participants should plan to come to the first meeting with notes and ideas.
