The Misappropriation and Misrepresentation of Research: Strategies for Facing a Growing and Problematic Trend

The good news is that your research got published. The bad news is that a group you have never heard of is now misappropriating or misrepresenting it to push an agenda that neither you nor actual research conclusions support. This workshop will help you prepare for how to handle these situations should they arise, covering topics such as keeping current in your field inside and outside of academia, techniques for handling misunderstandings of your research, and ways to gauge (mis)understanding of your field of research and try out potential responses.
