Knowledge Mobilization: Bridging Science, Policy, and Practice

(3 Credits)

Knowledge mobilization (KMb) is an interactive process involving exchanges between researchers who create new knowledge and those who use it. The focus of this course will be on the theory and application of knowledge mobilization with the goal of promoting evidence-based policy, practice, and research utilization. Using existing research data, students will develop culturally and contextually appropriate KMb products based on the needs of multiple stakeholders to disseminate knowledge and improve research uptake.
