The Conversation are a media outlet where news is written by UK-based academics.

BU is a partner of The Conversation, which means BU academics can write articles on their areas of expertise, providing thought leadership in line with the news agenda, and promoting new or ongoing research as a way of engaging the public in the work taking place at BU.

Training
The Conversation editors also regularly visit BU to conduct training with academics.

The next training session is Wednesday 29 May with a general editor, who will be giving an introduction to The Conversation in the morning and available for one-to-one consultation in the afternoon.

If you are interested in writing for The Conversation, then you can pitch directly to them through their website, or contact the Newsdesk where a member of the team can support you in putting a pitch together.
