From Research to Reach: Using AI to Create Public Scholarship
For relationship and family scholars, translating research for public audiences is an important goal, but one that often falls to the bottom of an already crowded to-do list. Could AI help bridge the gap between wanting to share our science and actually doing it? In this professional development webinar, Dr. Tyler Jamison will explore practical and ethical ways to use AI in the public scholarship writing process. Beginning with key ethical considerations, the session will demonstrate a range of approaches, from using AI to catch typos and polish prose, to engaging it as a critical editor, to transforming a messy collection of ideas into a compelling post for a specific audience. Throughout, Dr. Jamison will emphasize the human judgment, expertise, and creativity that remain essential to producing ethical, accurate, and effective public scholarship. The goal is not to hand our writing over to AI, but to explore how thoughtful collaboration with these tools can make public scholarship more manageable—and perhaps make the difference between getting our research into the world and never quite finding the time.

My interest in romantic relationships started to take shape when I was a psychology student at Miami University in Ohio. I wrote a senior thesis about how young women used romantic narratives in media to guide their beliefs about relationships. This led me to graduate school at the University of Missouri where I studied divorce, remarriage, and stepfamilies. At Mizzou I learned the power of interviews to tell the stories of romantic love and loss that mean so much to our lives. During that time, I also fell in love and started a family. We moved to New England for me to take my dream job at the University of New Hampshire where I have continued to study relationships with colleagues spread all over the US.
