Raising Your Scholarly Profile: Promoting

For many academics, publicizing and promoting scholarship is a foreign concept. However, by promoting your scholarship you can help additional audiences to find it, which can lead to new opportunities for collaboration, interest from disciplines other than your own, and public interest.

Campus Resources

Campus resources are available to help you publicize your scholarship when appropriate. Consult with your dean or department chairs for related policies in your school or unit.

Media Relations

Duquesne's Media Relations department can help "...generate interest in newsworthy events, research and topical subjects impacting the local and national landscape."

Visit Media Relations' DORI page for more information:
DORI-->Staff Tab-->Public Affairs (link in the list at the top left)-->Media Relations (link on the left).

• Faculty Spotlight

  Share word of your scholarly presentations, publications, and awards via the Faculty Spotlight Recommendation Form. Faculty Spotlight news items primarily target the campus community. Note: schools and departments may report information differently. Check with your school or department to determine whether you have a designated Public Affairs liaison and/or to whom you should report your accomplishments.

• Grant Notices

  The Office of Research shares grant notices with Public Affairs. Award letters are used to generate DU Times stories related to grants and awards. However, faculty are encouraged to reach out to Public Affairs regarding stories/news releases about their findings.

• Become a "Faculty Expert" for Media Inquiries

  Media Relations routinely requires subject experts for media requests. Fill out the Media Expert questionnaire in DORI (DORI-->Staff Tab-->Public Affairs (link in the list at the top left)-->Media Relations (link on the left)) to identify your areas of expertise. Send your completed questionnaire to a member of the Media Relations team to become an expert. Media Relations may also want to see your curriculum vitae.
