Description

Refine public speaking skills

Increasingly, researchers are expected to be confident communicators of their work to peers and broader audiences. Participants will learn how to transform the way they communicate their research into an engaging story. This course is also designed to provide an introduction or refinement to public speaking skills and using critical thinking and reasoning in arguments. Throughout the workshop, participants will practice their communication skills, while receiving coaching in a supportive environment. The course will address several key areas including:

  • What makes effective science communication
  • How to use logic in argument construction
  • How to be a persuasive public speaker
  • Teamwork for public discourse
  • How to deal with public criticism
  • How to be confident in the public eye

To assist on-going development, the course provides a framework which participants can leverage to sustain their personal development beyond the course.

About the Facilitators

Dr. Scott Harrison is currently a researcher at the German Institute for International Education. Previously, Scott was a Marie Curie Fellow at the University of Siegen working on research on labor market and skills requirements in the 21st century (www.eduworks-network.eu). Key findings from the project identified the need for better transversal skills training of PhD and early career researchers. He obtained a PhD in Australia in Economics, focusing on educational outcomes. His background in technical areas such as statistical analysis and logical reasoning, coupled with extensive public speaking throughout his career, has made him a wonderfully engaging public speaker and trainer.
