Nebraska faculty have a unique opportunity to elevate their research and scholarly expertise on a national stage.
The university recently joined a partnership with The Conversation, an independent, nonprofit news outlet that combines academic rigor with journalism excellence. The Conversation’s aim is to improve public discourse on a range of topics: arts and culture, economy and business, education, environment and energy, ethics and religion, health and medicine, politics and society, and science and technology.
Scholarly experts who have doctorates contribute written op-ed pieces on current, newsworthy topics. The Conversation’s professional journalists and subject-matter experts provide editing capabilities and help writers hone messages and prepare pieces for popular media. The finished op-ed pieces are distributed via The Associated Press to thousands of newsrooms across the U.S. Email subscribers also receive updates from The Conversation about new, timely articles.
University-wide participation has potential to elevate individual scholars’ reputations, as well as enhance Nebraska’s institutional reputation.
