Talk "Harnessing Scholarship to Create Social and Policy Change"

Talk is part of events around dedication of Gross Hall for Interdisciplinary Innovation, and will be followed by building dedication and reception. This talk will present a model of "strategic" scholarship meant to magnify our impact into the policy world. Examples will be used from public health, diet and nutrition in particular, to demonstrate how impact can be woven into the work we do. It involves identifying change agents, developing and answering strategic questions, and creating lines of communications back to the change agents.Open to entire Duke community.
