Keynotes: Impact outside of academia
<link people z-ozdil>Zihni Özdil – History
“The 'social' scientist: how (not) to engage social media as an academic”
Engaging media as an academic is somewhat of a double-edged sword. It has both tremendous benefits and huge pitfalls. What are those benefits and pitfalls? What is the best way to share your knowledge and expertise with a broader audience? What is the difference between social media and classic media? I will touch upon these questions from an experience-based perspective.
<link people iris-korthagen>Iris Korthagen – Public Administration
“More than valorization: social impact as the main reason of doing research”
PhD candidate Iris Korthagen works part-time for the Research Council for Social Development (Raad voor Maatschappelijke Ontwikkeling). The Research Council makes advisory reports and contributes to societal debates regarding all kinds of policy questions and social issues. She will tell you why she values working for this research council, discussing the research, the reports, other sorts of output, and the audience, comparing it to working in academia.
Karthik Raghavan – (Visiting Researcher) Arts and Culture Studies
“Prices, Prizes and Surprises”
How to realize social change through alternative currencies, and balance that with writing a dissertation.
