AAAL Webinar: At the coupling of research and public service: Augmenting scholarly outlets for applied linguists


In this immersive webinar, Dr. Drew Fagan discusses various outlets in which scholars can broaden the audience and impact of their research expertise beyond traditional academic parameters towards effecting policy changes at a more macro societal level. Talking with moderator Dr. Lourdes Ortega, Dr. Fagan highlights his experiential collaborations connecting language knowledge with educational changemakers at various levels of government as well as working with stakeholders in media, law firms, unions, and various educational agencies. Attendees will come away from this session with a broadened understanding of collaboration types/possibilities, tools for relaying scholarly knowledge to various non-academic audiences, and considerations for diverse outlets for scholarly production.
