[Ssnet_list] Turn Academic Research Into an Op-Ed | March 3 and 5, 2026 (Same Workshop Offered Twice!)

[Monika Sengul-Jones via Ssnet_list]

Hey everyone,

This March, Society + Technology at UW and the Center for an Informed
Public are
co-hosting *Op-Eds for Academics*, a hands-on workshop focused on building
public writing skills, twice! on Tues., March 3, 2026, 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM at
the School of Law, William H. Gates Hall, 115 ABC – Perkins Coie Room (Register

| In-Person Workshop <https://tinyurl.com/inperson-opedsforacademics-uw>)

and online on Thurs., March 5, 2026, 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM (Register | Online
Workshop <https://tinyurl.com/online-opedsforacademics-uw>).

The identical workshops are designed to provide the UW’s cross-disciplinary
community of experts focused on the social, societial, and justice
dimensions of technology with the opportunity to gain skills in translating
academic work into public commentary.

Both workshops will kick off with a brief panel discussion from members of
the UW community who have written op-eds, then participants will get to
work doing the same—from identifying a timely hook, drafting a persuasive
short piece, and navigating the submissions process.

The ambitious may leave with a draft op-ed and a concrete plan for
submitting it. Everyone will gain a clearer understanding of how to write
for new audiences—and the opportunity to connect with other participants.

Are you a member of the UW tri-campus community working on topics in tech
and society? This workshop is for you!
