Persuasive Communication for Public Policy Professionals

This writing-intensive course introduces students to evidence-based communication tools, frameworks and strategies they can use to craft persuasive policy narratives for audiences that need to be targeted and reached by policy professionals. Each week, students will have ample class time to experiment with and receive extensive feedback on their writing to ensure they are able to communicate public policy as clearly, concisely and compellingly as possible. Discussion attendance is mandatory for this course.
