Are We Doing This Right? – Public Engagement Edition

Listen to Parts 1 & 2 in Apple Podcasts.


For the November installment of 'Are We Doing This Right?’ on the Go Cultivate! podcast, we’re tackling public engagement. What does it look like when it’s done well? What are some pitfalls to look out for? Who and what is it for, exactly? It shouldn’t come as a surprise that there’s no one-size-fits-all right answer to public engagement. But we think there is such a thing as a right approach.

In this double episode, we dig into literally everything you need to know about public engagement. Just kidding; we probably left a few things out. But we do think this sets a good starting point for moving toward a more productive and inclusive (and, importantly, ongoing!) public engagement process. And the good news is: there are so many good examples out there already! Listen in to hear us discuss.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Your hosts for this episode: Jordan Clark & AJ Fawver.
