Taking Research on Families Outside of the Academy: How to Craft Effective Media Messages
The Center for Research on Families (CRF) at UMass Amherst presents "Taking Research on Families Outside of the Academy: How to Craft Effective Media Messages." This is the first in a series of panels that the CRF is organizing to bring together researchers with interest in taking their research outside of the academy and in speaking about their research to the media.
This first panel will feature several researchers who will talk about their experience engaging with the media. There will be an opportunity to ask questions, to share strategies, and to plan future workshops around specific topics of interest to the participants.
The panelists include: Edward F. Blaguszewski, Director of News & Information for UMass Amherst; M. V. Lee Badgett, associate professor of economics and Director of the Center for Public Policy and Administration at UMass Amherst and research director of the Institute for Gay and Lesbian Strategic Studies; Kyle D. Pruett, M.D., clinical professor of child psychiatry at the Yale School of Medicine and Director of Medical Studies at the Yale Child Study Center; and Marsha Kline Pruett, the Maconda Brown Professor of Psychology and Social Work at Smith College. Moderating the panel will be Amy Schalet, assistant professor of sociology and faculty affiliate at the Center for Research on Families.
