Working with Policy Makers 

Thursday, March 24, 2022 

11 AM - 1 PM 

Lisa M. Troy, Ph.D. and Laurel Smith-Doerr, Ph.D. 

What do policymakers most want to know, and what are the best ways to approach and communicate with them? Policymakers include both elected officials who make laws and employees in public sector organizations who implement them. This workshop will explain all the reasons why policymakers want input from academic researchers and help you envision the roles you wish to play in relation to policy and advocacy. The workshop will also highlight differences in the culture and goals of policymakers and academics, so that you can learn the best ways to get your points across in the policy world.
