Social psychological research can be of great value to today's society, but is often lost for the greater public. To aid social psychologists to reach these larger audiences, In-Mind Magazine will organize an EASP preconference Writing and Communicating with the General Public. This preconference aims to support EASP-members by offering a unique skill: the power to enchant a broad audience. Such a skill can be utilized for diverse purposes. How can you communicate important scientific findings to the media? Even more important, how do you turn your award-winning ideas into successful grant proposals?
Two high-profiled scientific writers will supervise the preconference: Wray Herbert and Ap Dijksterhuis. During this workshop, you will participate in writing a social psychological manuscript of your choice -
but for the general public. Step 1 is that participants will write a first draft of their manuscript before the workshop. During the workshop, Herbert and Dijksterhuis will provide hands-on tips on how to spice up the writing.
Following the workshop, assistance to participants will be continued by In-Mind editors, resulting in publication of the articles in the online journal In-Mind. To get an impression of the magazine, please take a look at www.in-mind.org.
Researchers interested in participation are invited to submit their manuscripts by April 30th, 2011, to Reine van der Wal
(r.vanderwal@psych.ru.nl). Non-EASP members will have to pay €37. Reine van der Wal, Jill Janssen, (J.E.P.Janssen@student.ru.nl),
and Sanne Pennings (S.Pennings@student.ru.nl) are happy to answer any inquiries related to the workshop.
