Aims<\/h1>\n

Aims for linking student research to public engagement<\/h3>\n

The outputs of public engagement activities are most impactful when they resonate with the public environment to which they are addressed. A universal aim can be the showcasing of student research by making authorship explicit to a number of stakeholders such as the users of the product\/activity, prospective students and prospective employers. Students in Public can be a powerful marketing tool for alumni and for the University.<\/p>\n

Some aims relate directly to specific engagement formats and platforms such as consultancy and resource development for a particular client. Advocacy and policy is best disseminated through externally-recognized channels in order to have high impact.  On the other hand, informing and entertaining can take many forms of writing, exhibition and performance that might be disseminated face-to-face, in print or online. Styles of presentation need to mediate between audience needs and content; they might be formal and technical for a professional audience, artistic and visually engaging for an exhibition, and conversational and comical for school children.<\/p>\n

For example, Tom speaks about the development of social cohesion as a critical aim of the museum exhibit<\/a> he was preparing for a course on Religion, Migration and Diaspora<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hannah explains how the output from her course unit<\/a> supports her application for professional training.<\/p>\n
