The Association for the Study of Higher Education is meeting in Louisville this week. The theme for this year’s conference is “Informing the public agenda for higher education: The role and relevance of research.” With my friends Dan Laitch and Michelle Nilson of Simon Fraser University I’ll participate today in a roundtable discussion about communicating to policymakers, writing for specific audiences, and using social media as part of a communication mix. Too bad we’re presenting at the same time another roundtable discusses “the transformative potential of blogs for the higher education research profession.” I’d like to attend that one; I’ll ask Jana Bouwma-Gearhart for her notes.
