The Public Voices Fellowship Project
Inaugurated at Princeton in fall 2011, the Public Voices Fellowship project involves 18 faculty and staff, who meet regularly for hands-on workshops with The Op Ed Project's facilitators. Workshop leaders train participants in articulating their scholarly areas of expertise for a wider public audience, and instruct them in the nuts and bolts of establishing relationships with editors at major media outlets around the country.
We're delighted that Princeton's is one of the first few university-based groups to participate in the Public Voices Fellowship project. Read the published pieces we've generated, below.
