Knowledge Mobilization
Knowledge mobilization, also known as knowledge translation, involves researchers producing and disseminating empirical results to the public. By sharing important findings, researchers can inform and transform policy and practice. We regularly participate in academic presentations and publications, and recently adopted Open Science Practices (specifically on osf.io). We also share our research with the public through our social media accounts on Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube. We create content at least two times per week in both French and English.
