It\u2019s an ongoing journey, not the destination. That\u2019s what I learned this year as a research assistant for the CFICE knowledge mobilization hub. I wrote articles and sat on committees. I helped with newsletters and assisted with knowledge mobilization resources. But more than anything else, I learned about the challenges to knowledge mobilization work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The experience wasn\u2019t what I expected. Academic timelines rarely align with community timelines. The impact of knowledge mobilization is hard to measure, so it&#8217;s hard to justify to busy campus and community partners. I found it challenging to identify the target audience for knowledge mobilization products. I also struggled to wrap my head around the complexity and breadth of the CFICE project.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">But, I leave CFICE more passionate about the value of knowledge mobilization than when I started. I participated in C2UExpo, and met inspiring people who strive to make research more relevant and useful to those who need it. I researched knowledge mobilization in my undergraduate honours essay, where I studied SSHRC\u2019s annual reports. And, I\u2019m excited to continue learning about knowledge mobilization this fall as I start my master\u2019s in communication at Simon Fraser University.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Each step along the path of knowledge mobilization is challenging. Sometimes even frustrating, slow, or uncertain. But I believe we can harness the power of research to support meaningful social change. And I know knowledge mobilization is a vital journey to take.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Knowledge mobilization is a verb, not a noun.
