Knowledge Mobilization implies taking your research or professional knowledge out of academic contexts and making it accessible to more general audiences, whether it be the public, potential funders, or even future employers. Video making and audio production skills, for example, demonstrate a capacity for communication that meets contemporary expectations, and thus can significantly serve your content and related methodological learning.
