The goal of knowledge mobilization is to make research in health and social science more useful to policy, practice, and the public. In this course students can learn how to gather, evaluate, synthesize and summarize scholarly knowledge in ways that meet the needs, timeframes, cultures, and realities of stakeholders. Activities include framing academic research in the context of public issues and creating knowledge products for practitioners and policy-makers in the students' areas of interest. (Note: This is an online course).
