Session Overview:

The Conversation is a news analysis and opinion platform of articles written by academics and funded by more than 70 UK and European universities. Working with an editor, researchers write short pieces that deliver academic expertise directly to the public.

York St John University has partnered with The Conversation since 2018, with our academics amassing a readership of well over a million people via the platform.

If you’ve not written for The Conversation before or would just like a refresher session, please come along to one of the online workshops that are being run exclusively for members of the academic community at York St John.

You’ll gain valuable insights into writing for a general audience and find out what The Conversation can offer for your research and academic profile.

The workshops are run on Zoom by an editor from The Conversation, and you only need to attend one. Booking is essential and places are limited. Forthcoming dates are as follows:
