\nImagine eating in a food court and listening to research that could have an impact on your life? Is this turning research into action? Maybe not but it would contribute to public awareness of the impact of research on society.<\/em>
\nImaginez-vous, attabl\u00e9 dans une aire de restauration, \u00e9coutant des recherches qui pourraient avoir un impact sur votre vie. Est-ce vraiment mettre la recherche en action? Peut-\u00eatre pas, mais cela pourrait contribuer \u00e0 sensibiliser le public \u00e0 l’impact que peut avoir la recherche sur la soci\u00e9t\u00e9.<\/em>
\nThe actual quote was \u201cEvery shopping mall needs a Thai Express, a Roots and an Innovation Panel.\u201d We heard this at the Symposium<\/a> of the Ontario\"\"<\/a> Research Chairs in Public Policy that York University organized on behalf of the Council of Ontario Universities. \u00a0The eight Ontario Research Chairs were joined by panelists from academia, the media as well as speakers from the public, private, community and health care sectors. \u00a0The audience (over 100) was mainly provincial policy makers, researchers and students. Knowledge mobilization underpinned the theme of \u201cturning research into action\u201d, the action being Ontario research informing Ontario public policy.
\nThe second day (March 6) opened with the panel \u201cJob Creation: What\u2019s Research Got To Do With It?\u201d which featured Suresh Narine<\/a>, the Ontario Research Chair in Green Chemistry and Engineering at Trent University. \u00a0In his opening remarks, panel moderator Paul Wells (Maclean\u2019s Magazine) said, \u201cEvery shopping mall needs a Thai Express, a Roots and an Innovation Panel.\u201d The COU Symposium was in York\u2019s Osgoode Professional Development Centre<\/a> located on the 26th<\/sup> floor of the north tower of the downtown Toronto Eaton Centre shopping mall. \u00a0While the public are the ultimate beneficiaries of public policies informed by the research of the Ontario Research Chairs the COU Symposium was open to the public but the public did not attend.
\n\"\"<\/a>Why is that? Knowledge brokers are ultimately concerned about maximizing the impact of research on society yet we broker almost exclusively between institutions. In 2009 we published a whimsical paper<\/a> that presented lessons learned from knowledge mobilization with inspiration from Machiavelli and Dr. Seuss. Lesson #1 was: Concludero\u2019 solo che al principe, e necessario avere il popolo amico \u2013 <\/em>I will conclude then that it is necessary for the prince to have the people as friends. The lesson here is \u201cno silo research. Research partnerships must be broad and most importantly, engage the people impacted by the outcome.\u201d York embodies this by hosting Mobilizing Minds<\/a>, a five year knowledge mobilization project working with a number of universities and community partners seeking pathways to young adult mental health. Young adults are part of every stage of the program and have a voice on each committee including the leadership committee. \u00a0Our strong presence in social media (@researchimpact<\/a>, this blog, our You Tube channel<\/a>) also connects our research to a very broad public.
\nEngaging the people affected by the outcome is great but why don\u2019t we take research to the broader public beyond our social media? Why don\u2019t we place an innovation panel in a shopping mall?
\nThe Canadian Institutes of Health Research program Caf\u00e9 Scientifique<\/a> funds Canadian health researchers taking their research to public spaces like coffee shops or bars so this is happening on an individual researcher basis. On February 15<\/a>, UBC hosted presentations by 13 Canada Excellence Research Chairs (CERC), some of the leading researchers globally in their fields. Each CERC spoke for 5 minutes and it was open to the public but it wasn\u2019t in a mall.
\nWhat if we learn from Machiavelli and combine the public access of Caf\u00e9 Scientifique with the open access of the CERC presentations and hold a special presentation of the eight Ontario Research Chairs in a shopping mall to complement their engagement with policy makers? Imagine sitting in the food court of your local mall eating at Thai Express and listening to leading research that had relevance to your life?\u00a0I would pair each Ontario Research Chair with a journalist who would turn the \u00ab\u00a0wow\u00a0\u00bb of research into \u00ab\u00a0so what\u00a0\u00bb for the public.\u00a0 Five minutes where you get not only research steak but research sizzle as well (thank you Jeremy Burman<\/a>).\u00a0\u00a0 This would help meet the goals advocated by Gary Myers (@KMbeing<\/a>) who takes a more holistic view of knowledge mobilization encouraging everyone to share their own knowledge for social benefit.
\nIt might not turn research into action (we\u2019ll leave that to the policy makers) but it would turn research into attention.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
