DESCRIPTION:While many professions\, fields\, and disciplines emphasize kno
 wledge mobilization (KMb)\, or the application and use of research\, there
  is still much to learn about what key skills and competencies are require
 d to engage in this kind of work. There is little consensus on what KMb wo
 rk actually entails. In this presentation\, I share findings from a 2015 Q
 -methodological study on KMb and discuss implications for social work. It 
 is my draft manuscript to be presented at the CASWE annual conference in M
 ay/June 2018 (Regina SK). \n\nMy study examined the viewpoints of KMb expe
 rts\, researchers\, intermediaries\, and practitioners across various doma
 ins regarding priority KMb activities\, and the competencies and skills re
 quired for such tasks. This mixed methods study employed Q-Methodology\, w
 ith data collected in two major phases. First\, interviews were conducted 
 with 20 KMb experts from Canada and the United Kingdom to develop the stud
 y’s concourse and subsequent q-statements. Second\, 91 participants comple
 ted an online survey\, with a Q-sort task with 49 q-statements and an acti
 vity-rating task with 31 activities. Respondents also answered a range of 
 open-ended questions pertaining to their KMb work\, training\, and perspec
 tives. I identified four distinct approaches to KMb amongst the 91 survey 
 participants. I provide narrative descriptions of the four groups\, 1. The
 orists and Evaluators 2. People-Persons 3. System Builders and Team Leader
 s 4. Translators and Facilitators. I then discuss how these four perspecti
 ves provide insight on and considerations for KMb in Social Work research 
 and practice (individual and collaborative/partnered research\; micro-meso
 -macro practice).\n\n \n\nBring your lunch. Cookies & coffee will be serve
