Description
Over the past decade, knowledge translation (KT) has become an important component of health research in geography and beyond. Despite collective agreement about the importance of bridging knowledge to action in health geography research, gaps remain regarding how to do KT, and how KT can be leveraged to combat health inequities. This panel session will discuss KT research and activity with a particular focus on promoting health equity in our changing world. This discussion will look back at what has been achieved through KT, our learnings and pitfalls, and how researchers can build on these foundations to move forward. Themes for discussion include best practices for doing KT, working in partnership with knowledge users, overcoming challenges and lessons learned, and future directions for KT research and practice on a global scale.
