The Cutlural Connections course was a 5-day workshop as part of the Digital Humanities @ Oxford Summer School 2013 (http://digital.humanities.ox.ac.uk/dhoxss/). Cultural Connections offered an introduction to public engagement skills to help researchers work effectively within and beyond universities. It focussed on digital publishing, knowledge exchange, research communication, public engagement and measuring impact, drawing on the knowledge and experience of expert researchers and practitioners from Oxford and beyond.
