Two opportunities to attend a media training session with an editor from The Conversation are coming up this semester. The two-hour sessions, hosted on Zoom, are open to all academic staff and to students of PhD level and above.
The sessions will provide an introduction to The Conversation, how it works, the benefits of writing for the platform, and how to go about it.
