Are you a PhD candidate or ECR interested in learning how to write a policy brief? Join us at Deakin Downtown for a whole-day workshop to learn the ropes of policy writing and translate your expert knowledge into advice for policymakers.
The workshop will include an overview and examples of what a policy brief should entail, scenarios based on your area of research, free-writing a plan/draft a policy brief, feedback from peers and CCH mentors, and a reflective session for questions and concerns. Dr Sarah Pinto and A/Prof Carolyn Holbrook will offer advice from their experience teaching and writing policy briefs, and participants will be invited to submit their policy briefs for publication in Australian Policy and History.
If you are interested in joining the workshop, please RSVP to mia.martinhobbs@deakin.edu.au by 15 July with the following information:
