Knowledge mobilization definition
3
• The reciprocal and complementary flow and uptake of research knowledge between researchers, knowledge brokers and knowledge users —both within and beyond academia— in such a way that may benefit users and create positive impacts within Canada and/or internationally, and, ultimately, has the potential to enhance the profile, reach and impact of social sciences and humanities research.

Roots • Out of community based research (cbr) or CES • Out of university commercialization (uilo) • Relationship building • little “c” communications vs. Big “C” communications • Social networks research • Education research • Health Promotion/Public Health • Behaviour change

Why?
• Community problems need answers • Spin offs not working • Relationship building • Small “c” communications • Explain phenomenon • Change health behaviours • Return on investment (ROI) for tax dollars • Government needs “wins” to justify expenditures

How? • “…knowledge mobilization in action must be
understood to be a circulation of multiple meanings and responsibilities, in multiple directions—not just for diverse users, but also for the knowledge producers.” Fenwick, T. (2008). Considering ‘Knowledge Mobilization’ in Educational
Research: What knowledge, what mobilities, what responsibilities? Educational Insights, 12(2). www.ccfi.educ.ubc.ca/publication/insights/v12n02/articles/fenwick/index.html

• Knowledge mobilization initiatives must address at least one of the following, as appropriate, depending on research area and project objectives, context, and target audience:
• Within academia: – informs, advances and/or improves research agendas;
theory; and/or methods. • Beyond academia:
– Informs public debate; policies; and/or practice; – enhances/improves services; and/or – informs the decisions and/or processes of people in
business, government, the media, practitioner communities and civil society.
