DESCRIPTION:Is part of the purpose of our roles as academics to change soc
 iety by feeding our knowledge into policy decision making? Increasingly th
 e spotlight might fall on how we are making a measurable difference in soc
 iety. So how can we engage with stakeholders\, and use our knowledge\, to 
 inform\, shape and/or change policy? Reflecting on his role as Aotearoa Ne
 w Zealand Ministry of Transport’s Chief Science Advisor\, this presentat
 ion will consider how we can engage in decision making and the risks of do
 ing it. It will consider the pros and cons of being ‘inside government
 ’ vs the greater freedom\, but less direct access to policy makers\, of 
 being outside. It was also consider the professional and personal risks of
  trying to get your voice heard in policy debates. \nSpeakers:\nProfessor 
 Simon Kingham (Te Whare Wānanga o Waitaha/the University of Canterbury)
