Are you engaging in anti-oppressive educational research, theory, practice, or advocacy, and interested in writing and publishing about your work in academic journals? Drawing on my experiences as an author and journal editor, this webinar presents an overview of why and how publishing matters in academia, examples of what constitutes the journal industry and submission process, and tips and resources. This webinar is open to the public and designed specifically for educational scholars. This webinar will not be recorded.

WEBINAR #3: WRITING POLICY BRIEFS AND STATEMENTS

Educational scholars are often trained to write academic articles but not to translate or leverage our research for a broader audience of policy makers and the general public. This webinar shares examples of policy briefs and position statements that I have authored or coauthored (with CARE-ED, CReATE, EDJE, or NEPC), descriptions of different types of publications, tips on key elements and aspects of such publications, and resources. This webinar is open to the public and designed specifically for educational practitioners, leaders, scholars, and advocates. This webinar will not be recorded.

Why write books? How is that different than writing articles for journals or the media? Join me in this webinar as I reflect on the book industry in educational scholarship, the process of getting published, and tips for writing your next book by drawing on my own varied experiences over the past two decades of writing and editing. This webinar is open to the public and designed specifically for educational practitioners, leaders, scholars, and advocates. This webinar will not be recorded.
