Disseminating Social Science Research: A Panel Discussion

Abstract: For this final capacity building seminar for 2023/24, we are pleased to host a panel discussion on disseminating social science research. The dissemination of social science research is more crucial than ever for informing policy, shaping public discourse, and fostering societal change. This panel discussion brings together three scholars/practitioners to provide valuable insights and practical strategies for effectively disseminating social science research and maximizing the impact of research findings. Through the sharing of best practices and shared experiences, participants will gain valuable perspectives and tools to enhance their ability to reach broader audiences.

Speakers

Jeremy Dodeigne

Jérémy Dodeigne is an associate professor in Belgian and Comparative Politics at the Department of Political, Social and Communication Sciences at the University of Namur. His research focuses broadly on the access of political elites to power and how they behave once in office, from an historical perspective. In particular, his comparative work has examined how processes of state restructuration—i.e. regionalisation and Europeanisation observed over the last 50 years—have impacted candidates’ recruitment and their parliamentary behaviour. More recently, he has extended his research agenda to the study of personalisation of politics and political styles in European democracies since the 1960s. In his projects, he has used both quantitative analyses (with a recent focus on deep learning techniques for content analysis) and qualitative methods (narrative interviews with elites).

Gilles Pittoors

Gilles Pittoors a Policy Analyst at the European Parliamentary Research Service (EPRS) and affiliated researcher to the GASPAR Research Group at Ghent University, where he obtained his PhD in 2021. His research addresses normative and empirical questions of democratic governance in Europe and the Europeanisation of national politics, as well as transnational of European politics and citizenship. His work has been published in academic journals such as the Journal of Common Market Studies, the Journal of European Integration, the Journal of Contemporary European Studies, Acta Politica, and Governance and Politics, as well as in several edited volumes published with Routledge and Acco.
