Great post here by @akoustov. His experiences finding that non-academic audiences sometimes ask the most useful questions, and provide the most stimulating insight for research, 100% resonates with my own experience. Similarly, he is spot on in saying that the public—not our peers—are our stakeholders whose interests we ultimately should serve. His point that public engagement =/= arguing on social media is also important. In my experience, here are four better, and relatively easy places to start: 1) Talk to your local Rotary club. They are always keen for speakers, and tend to be a cross section of smart (& typically older) community leaders. 2) Find a conference that combines multiple sectors (academia, government, non-profits, and/or industry). There are more of these out there than you think. @RenWkd is often the highlight of my year. There are lots of others that are more accessible and local—often issue focused. E.g., I've been to ones on business, energy, climate change and climate adaptation, water resources, democracy. 3) Talk to your university’s trustees/regents. They always are usually keen to talk to faculty and often have very different perspectives than you find on campus, especially if you’re at a public school where the trustees are elected. (HT @heidiganahl @LesleyForCU, whom I got to know when I was at CU). 4) Go and visit an academic institution that is very different from yours (e.g., a regional school in a rural part of your state, if you are in a large urban school, or vice versa). I have found all four of these strategies to be highly rewarding and enriching.
