Upcoming Events
April 2025: Sharing outside the ivory tower: Strategies for disseminating research to community members. When attention is at a premium in an information-saturated world, how can researchers engage community members in scientific communication? How can we balance between groups with high digital literacy versus those who find it difficult to access information outside of a few venues? The Utah Center for Promotion of Work Equity Research (U-POWER), a Center of Excellence for Total Worker Health® has sought to find answers to these questions as we form a community of practice. Join U-POWER as we discuss key barriers to disseminating research findings to community members, including a discussion of the divide in communication norms between academia and other communities, lack of interest and trust, and overwhelming other commitments. We'll share best practices from literature on effective dissemination and share some of the things we have done to make occupational health more accessible to a wider share of disciplinary stakeholders. Register today for Zoom meeting information.
