What is “kmb”?

     KM or KMb (SSHRC)
     Knowledge translation (CIHR),
     Knowledge exchange (CHSRF)
     Knowledge transfer partnerships (UK)
     Knowledge dissemination (MSFHR)

Types of “kmb”

     “End of Grant” KMb: (curiosity-driven research):
     The researcher develops and implements a plan for making
     knowledge users aware of the knowledge generated.

     “Integrated” KMb (problem-based research):
     The researcher engages potential knowledge users as
     partners in the research process. Requires a colaborative
     or participatory approach to research that is action oriented
     and is solutions and impact focused.

What is “kmb”?

    “…knowledge mobilization…[is] a circulation of multiple
    meanings and responsibilities, in multiple directions - not just
    for diverse users, but also for the knowledge producers.”

    Fenwick, T. (2008). Considering ‘Knowledge Mobilization’ in Educational Research: What knowledge, what mobilizes, what responsibilities? Educational
    Insights, 12(2). www.ccfi.educ.ubc.ca/publication/insights/v12n02/articles/fenwick/index.html

Open Access
     Open access (OA) is the practice of providing unrestricted access
     via the Internet to peer-reviewed scholarly journal articles.

     • Green: authors publish in any journal and then self-archive a
       version of the article for free public use in their institutional
       repository.
     • Gold: authors publish in an open access journal that provides
       immediate OA to all of its articles on the publisher's website.

     • Hybrid: provide Gold OA only for those individual articles for
       which their authors (or their author's institution or funder) pay
       an OA publishing fee

Research communication,
     media and culture: Pimlott
        • Blog post, about "authoritarian language", was picked up by 404
          System Error website, a blog run by some social activists (including
          a well-known Canadian activist, Min Reyes)
        • my response about the action of page Brigitte de Pape (the "Stop
          Harper" sign in June 2011), got the most hits in one day because it
          was a reflection (drawing upon my experience and expertise about
          democracy and political communication via protest actions, such as
          de Pape's). I had 131 hits, normally the site averages 5-15 hits/day.

Editor's Notes

  1. Websitewith project summaries and links for students
  2. Twitter and blogAt present, I teach and research communication, media and culture at Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. My research and teaching interests cover such areas as alternative media, union communications, journalism and dissent, media coverage of economic, labour and poverty issues, and political communication, particularly in Canada and the UK, as well as the USA.My interest in these areas is not strictly speaking, ‘academic’ (if you pardon the pun), but also practical. I have experience as a media professional in radio and TV (during the reign of ‘analogue’), as well as more recent experience running media relations workshops and providing communications advice for various social, environmental and economic justice organisations. I have also worked as a media relations officer and communications advisor to a faculty union and political riding association.I believe that there is much to be learned from bringing the two areas together.Of course, I am also interested in all aspects of post-secondary/higher education, from the conditions for faculty, both contract/contingent and permanent, students (quality and costs of their education), and support staff (who ensure faculty and students can do what they do best).Clearly, the views that I express are my own and do not reflect in any way the university (or the management of the university) which employs me (and which presumes to speak for the university, which is really a community of teachers, students, managers and support staff, but that is another issue).Please feel free to follow me, if you are so inclined, on twitter: @Herbert_Pimlott .Ps. If you are interested in a slightly longer or more detailed statement about my research and teaching interests, you can visit my official university webpage at: http://www.wlu.ca/homepage.php?grp_id=612&f_id=35.
