Description
Reveal from The Center for Investigative Reporting has spent the last few years reflecting on how academics, researchers and journalists can work together. We’ve learned that journalists and academics have many things in common: both generally care about making a positive social change, bringing accurate information to the public and pushing the boundaries of what’s known to humanity.
Yet they tend to work in parallel universes. When they have collaborated, they’ve managed to tell complex stories with enormous impact. We started this conversation last year at Stanford University with great success. This year we’re excited to bring Mind to Mind to the East Coast in partnership with American University’s School of Communication and The Investigative Reporting Workshop.
At this symposium, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists, acclaimed researchers and academics from top universities will come together to discuss a wide variety of topics affecting America’s workforce.
Conversations will range from #MeToo at the workplace to worker injuries at Tesla and the Los Alamos National Laboratory. We’ll talk about gender discrimination in the form of planning holiday parties at work to abuses at drug rehabilitation programs across the country.
We’ll delve into what academics and journalists can learn from each other, the challenges in working together and how to make collaborations happen.
Come join us at American University on Oct. 12, 2018. Space is limited, so please register ASAP.
