Writing for the Public - Center for the Humanities and the Public Sphere
2015
Writing for the Public is a professional development seminar sponsored by the Center for the Humanities and the Public Sphere at the University of Florida. The event, organized by Dr. Sean Trainor, was held on 12/11/2015. The seminar is designed to teach participants how to effectively engage the public through their writing.
Public engagement is no longer optional for scholars and educators in humanities. It is now a basic professional requirement: a way in which we claim our scholarly territory, justify humanistic enterprise before skeptical publics, demonstrate public impacts of work for funding bodies, and prepare for uncertain job markets.
