Management Response Summary Evaluation of SSHRC's Knowledge Mobilization (KMb) Context Over the past decade, the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) has implemented a number of funding vehicles to support the development of KMb, aiming to strengthen its role and importance within the SSHRC organization and across its research community. [...] Although the select funding opportunities under evaluation have been or are being phased out, the focus of this evaluation was to create an opportunity for organizational learning as well as to demonstrate the results and impacts of SSHRC's investments in knowledge mobilization. [...] In a forward-looking stance, the evaluation study aimed to inform SSHRC's thinking and decisions to support further development of knowledge mobilization, to strengthen its role and importance within SSHRC and across its research community. [...] Priority/ Status Comment category of (Action Items) Timeline recommendation delivery of Talent, Insight and Connection programs and funding opportunities to determine whether there is a need to adjust in order to ensure consistent language and messaging about knowledge mobilization supports the objectives of the renewed strategy.

The work of this internal/external team was supported by the Evaluation Advisory Committee (EAC), composed of SSHRC program management and staff representatives, who provided advice and guidance in the design and execution of the evaluation, including the review of major deliverables. [...] The evaluation data suggest that the concomitant and strategic use of multiple roles, levels and strategies leads to the most effective forms of knowledge mobilization, reaping large gains in terms of research impacts, as well as development of HQP capacity for KMb and the circling back of mobilized knowledge into the research process. [...] The current strategic objectives are: • facilitating and enabling the accessibility and impact of research by increasing and enhancing the flow of research knowledge among researchers, and between researchers and knowledge users; • improving research connections by facilitating reciprocal relationships between researchers and knowledge users for the (co-)creation and use of research knowledge; and [...] The objectives are thus not fully capturing SSHRC's strategic priority "Position knowledge and expertise about human thought and behaviour to bring maximal benefits to Canada and the world." Knowledge mobilization in the humanities In part because of the relatively small number of projects funded and the lower participation rates of humanities scholars in three of the four KMb funding opportunitie [...] Nevertheless, the outcomes, [...] can be seen in increased productivity and innovation, human capital, public knowledge and a skilled labour force, policy interventions and innovation in the public sector, and in improvements to the quality of life."7 Promotion and championing of KMb skills and tools as part of successful research training The evaluation found that commitment to and engagement in fo.
This volume is unique in bringing together these wide-ranging issues of knowledge mobilization in education. The volume editors critically analyse these complex issues and also describe various efforts of knowledge mobilization and their effects. While the contributors themselves speak from diverse material, occupational and theoretical locations.
Most debates about the so-called research-practice gap in TESOL have focused on a one-way transfer of research evidence from the context of origin to the context of application. Rather than continuing such debates, Knowledge Mobilization in TESOL: Connecting Research and Practice sheds light on what happens after research is transferred to contexts of practice such as the classroom. It explores whether or not, and under what circumstances, research can make contributions to teachers’ professional learning and development. By featuring English language teachers’ first-hand accounts of research utilization, the book highlights the complex processes of making research-based knowledge meaningful for pedagogical practice. It shows why the success of any knowledge mobilization project depends on sensitivity to context and teachers’ interpretive engagement with research-based recommendations. Written in a lucid and accessible style, Knowledge Mobilization in TESOL: Connecting Research and Practice will appeal to a broad readership interested in research utilization in the field of education, especially in TESOL. It will be an informative text for pre-service and graduate courses in TESOL, ELT, applied linguistics, teacher education, and education policy studies. In-service teachers, teacher educators, program administrators, and funding agencies will also find it to be a valuable resource.

"This book takes the reader from the university lab to the playgrounds of communities. It shows how to integrate, move and use knowledge, an action journey within an identified action space that is called knowledge mobilization"--Jacket.
The first study to explore deeply and intimately the complex and multifaceted nature of creative writing practice, The Scholarship of Creative Writing and Practice offers a new route in scholarly inquiry for creative writing studies, probing beyond pedagogical methods (with which most of the field's scholarship is occupied) to explore the writing life as it is experienced by a wealth of international writer/academics. With academic creative writing programs beginning to adopt a more pragmatic, industry-focused stance, students of writing increasingly need and expect to complete their degrees moderately prepared to monetize the skills they have learned – so there is now more than ever a great responsibility to present studies, methodologies and experience that can inform students and instructors. In response, Sam Meekings and Marshall Moore have pulled together academic investigations from some of the most prominent names in creative writing studies to take stock of the diverse definitions and pluralities of creative practice, to examine how they have carved out a 'writing life', what work habits they have adopted to achieve this, how these practitioners work as creatives both within and outside of the academy and to put forward strategies for a viable writing life. Offering intelligent, philosophical, pragmatic and actionable methods for robust writing practice, this book provides a multi-national perspective on the various aspects of practice and process. Essays explore what writing practice means for individuals and how this can be modeled for students; how the mythic nature of creativity can be channeled though practical working habits; practice through the lenses of social responsibility, sensitivity, empathy and imagination; writing during times of duress and the barriers writers encounter in their craft; the demand of author platforms; the role of the creative writing academic/writer; and the process of learning from published and practicing authors. Wide-ranging in its investigations and generous in insight, The Scholarship of Creative Writing and Practice presents creative, imaginative and transdisciplinary approaches to this under-researched area.
Here, the authors address questions about the utilization of knowledge from social research and offer evidence that challenges allegations about the 'awful reputation' of educational research and its supposed lack of impact.
