UCLA Bunche Center x Blackbird House present:

An intimate, practical workshop for the Bunche x Blackbird Academic Writing Fellows. Together we will explore how to turn rigorous research into a compelling public voice across television, podcasts, op-eds, social media and other public platforms, while keeping intellectual credibility and authenticity.

Through candid conversation and practical insights, the session also takes up an increasingly important part of public scholarship: how to protect your reputation, your boundaries and your well-being in a polarized media environment.
