2024F Knowledge Mobilization (SAN-3330-01)

Skills developed in knowledge mobilization (KM) enable students (regardless of discipline) to share knowledge among researchers and community members. The focus is on closing the "know-do" gap, referring to what is "known" and what needs to be "done" in the community to benefit its members. Overall, students learn how to share/move research evidence into the community and how to accept/respect and value community-based evidence. Students develop KM skills (e.g., knowledge exchange, translation, true collaboration), study various mainstream/Indigenous KM models, and engage in experiential learning (e.g., knowledge brokering), allowing them to learn to navigate the research/community environments and disparate values/guidelines. 05-09-2024-05-12-2024 Web Tuesday, Thursday 11:30AM - 12:45PM, Room to be Announced
