The Department of Anthropology will be joined by the history department for their First Fridays in Anthropology event this month, featuring science journalist David Malakoff. Malakoff is a veteran journalist and former editor on NPR’s Science Desk and writes frequently about archaeology.

This workshop will explain how to communicate your work with non-scholarly audiences, from journalists and policymakers to your neighbors and the local Rotary Club. Learn how to think about your audience, and how to distill your message – without dumbing it down. 

Attendees are encouraged (but not required) to bring a piece of writing to the workshop that could be edited for a public audience.
