Write for the Conversation

The Conversation is an independent, nonprofit publisher of commentary and analysis, authored by academics and edited by journalists for the general public. The Conversation publishes short articles (800-1,000 words) by academics on timely topics related to their research. And CU Boulder is now a paying member, along with a majority of our AAU and aspirational peers!

Faculty members who write for the outlet report that they learn of new research collaborations or funding opportunities and get on the radar of media outlets looking for experts to interview. The articles are also free to read and republish and are sometimes republished in The Washington Post, TIME, Newsweek, CNN, Scientific American and many more.
