1 Know your purpose

Before you start communicating your historical research, you need to have a clear idea of what you want to achieve. Do you want to inform, persuade, educate, or inspire your audience? Do you want to contribute to a scholarly discussion, influence a policy decision, raise awareness, or spark curiosity? Your purpose will shape your message, tone, and format of your communication. For example, if you want to inform your academic peers about your findings, you might write a journal article or present at a conference. If you want to persuade policymakers about the relevance of your research to a current issue, you might write a policy brief or an op-ed. If you want to educate or inspire the general public, you might create a podcast, a blog, or a video.

The most important use of historical research is to make sure you don't repeat research objectives and uncover the same insights. It is important to know what you already know and use that to fine tune the research. It's one of the most common pitfalls of primary research.

A pesquisa histórica pode ser mobilizada para finalidades diversas perante o público alvo. Sendo assim, o pesquisador/autor, antes de mais nada, deve estabelecer as motiva??es de seu trabalho: informa??o, persuas?o, educa??o etc. Uma vez realizado tal passo, a escolha do formato de sua comuni??o será menos dificultosa. Ao contrário do que está consolidado no senso comum, a pesquisa histórica tem sempre uma ancora no tempo presente. é no agora que o pesquisa adquire a inspira??o para suas investiga??es, assim como é para entender a forma??o de nosso tempo que estudamos o passado.

2 Know your context

Another factor that affects how you communicate your historical research is the context in which you are communicating. You need to consider the expectations, norms, and conventions of the medium and the platform you are using. For example, if you are writing a journal article, you need to follow the guidelines and standards of the journal, such as citation style, word limit, and structure. If you are creating a podcast, you need to consider the technical aspects, such as sound quality, length, and editing. If you are presenting at a conference, you need to adhere to the time limit, format, and etiquette of the event.

Em qual contexto você está inserido? Formal ou informal? Acadêmico, empresarial, educacional, imprensa ou outro? Qual o perfil do seu público? Essas e outras coordenadas auxiliam a qualificar o seu contexto e, uma vez estabelecido, escolhar a forma de dissemina??o de seu trabalho ganha em praticidade e potencialidade. Uma newsletter pode funcionar muito bem no meio empresarial e educacional, mas possivelmente seja visto como uma abordagem incipiente no meio acadêmico, no qual pode-se usar artigos ou videos instrucionais de maior dura??o. Formato, linguagem e profundidade da abordagem s?o elementos estratégicos para o sucesso de sua entrega.

3 Know your audience

Perhaps the most important factor that influences how you communicate your historical research is the audience you are targeting. You need to understand who they are, what they know, what they care about, and what they expect from you. You need to tailor your message, language, and style to suit their needs, interests, and preferences. For example, if you are targeting academic peers, you need to use appropriate terminology, evidence, and arguments to demonstrate your expertise and credibility. If you are targeting policymakers, you need to use clear, concise, and persuasive language to highlight the implications and recommendations of your research. If you are targeting the general public, you need to use accessible, engaging, and relatable language to show the relevance and value of your research.

Conhecer o seu público é essencial. Sem isso n?o há maneira de transmitir uma boa mensagem. O texto acadêmico, com seus conceitos e terminologias, n?o consegue angariar muita simpatia junto ao grande público, interessado em uma comunica??o mais leve e objetiva, quase sempre narrativa. Poucos autores conseguem falar para ambos os públicos, pois a divulga??o científica demanda uma grande competencia para traduzir ao leigo um conhecimento especializado sem banalizado e/ou deturpa-lo.

4 Use storytelling techniques

One of the most effective ways to communicate the significance of your historical research is to use storytelling techniques. This can help you capture the attention, emotion, and imagination of your audience, as well as structure your message and connect the past with the present. To do this, you can start with a hook such as a surprising fact, a compelling question, a personal anecdote, or a vivid description. Create characters that have names, personalities, motivations, and conflicts that relate to your audience. Use scenes with sensory details, dialogue, and action to show how events unfolded and affected characters. Identify themes that convey messages or lessons that relate to your audience's values, beliefs, or experiences. Finally, use transitions to link scenes, characters, and themes and guide your audience through your story.

One crucial aspect missing in this approach is the power of perspective. Incorporating diverse viewpoints and highlighting marginalized voices within historical narratives can significantly enrich the storytelling experience. For instance, to enhance the storytelling, one could juxtapose the experiences of a prominent civil rights leader like Martin Luther King Jr. with those of an anonymous African American citizen living in the segregated South. By alternating between these two perspectives, not only is a comprehensive view of the movement provided, but the struggle is also humanized through personal stories.

As técnicas de storytelling tem sido mobilizadas cada vez mais com o objetivo de dinamizar a comunica??o nas pesquisas históricas, facilitando o engajamento e a compreens?o da narrativa. De acordo com a minha experiência, o escritor deve destacar um conflito presente na trama. Tal expediente atrai a aten??o do público, ansioso para ver o desenvolvimento e o possível desfecho dele. A centraliza??o da narrativa em um personagem é outro recurso interessante para o público, pois permite o exercício da empatia que, por sua vez, potencializa a compreens?o.

5 Use visual aids

An effective way to communicate the significance of your historical research is to utilize visual aids. Visual aids can illustrate, explain, or emphasize your points and captivate your audience. Images such as photographs, paintings, maps, or diagrams can demonstrate historical sources, contexts, or outcomes. Additionally, charts like graphs, tables, or timelines can display historical data, trends, or comparisons. Furthermore, slides created with PowerPoint or Prezi can summarize your main points and emphasize visual aids with fonts, colors, and layouts that are easy to read and visually appealing.

O uso de recursos visuais tende a trazer maior eficácia à comunica??o da pesquisa histórica. Mas, para que isso ocorra, a sele??o de tais recursos deve ser muito criteriosa e eles devem ser alocados no ponto correto do seu trabalho. Texto (escrito ou oral) deve estar em perfeita sincronia com a imagem. Imagina a situa??o absurda para o seu público ao ler uma informa??o acerca de uma fotografia em uma dada página, mas a imagem n?o estar ali para acompanhamento simultaneo!?

6 Seek feedback

The final way to communicate the significance of your historical research effectively is to seek feedback from others. This can help you hone your communication skills, identify strengths and weaknesses, and address any gaps or errors in your content or delivery. Seeking feedback can take many forms, such as peer review, audience evaluation, and self-reflection. For instance, you can ask colleagues or mentors to review your draft or rehearsal and provide constructive comments; ask your audience to fill out a survey rating your communication on various criteria; or review your own communication and ask yourself what you can do better next time.
