Researchers for Change: Creative Knowledge Mobilization at the Graduate Level

Studies at the graduate level traditionally guide students through a series of predetermined steps (from writing a literature review and research proposal, to conducting research and producing academic outputs) which often leave little room to reflect on how to make our work accessible and actionable outside academia.

In this roundtable, we push the boundaries of the ways in which we think about and produce outputs at various stages of graduate studies. Participants will be invited to reflect on what their role can be, as grad students, in creating and sharing knowledge that can be meaningful outside academia - and share examples of how they can do that concretely.

We will consider the following questions (and more!):

• What does “creating impact” mean and look like in your field of study?
• How can knowledge mobilization be meaningfully embedded into grad students' research process?
• How might creative outputs and practices be used in academic settings?
• How can interdisciplinary perspectives/approaches benefit your audience?

Join us in person in MacKinnon 103 (Arts hub) or online via Zoom. More information and Zoom link will be sent out before the event.
