Theories and Practices of Knowledge Brokering
Résumé
This chapter examines a specific kind of practice dedicated to moving knowledge around and creating connections between researchers and their various audiences: knowledge brokering. It looks at the practices, theories, professions and identities concerned with knowledge brokering. The chapter argues that research on knowledge brokering needs to capture more than just the issue of moving – and transforming – knowledge. The positionality of knowledge brokers is also a key issue: the identity of and spaces occupied by knowledge brokers raise complex questions, as much as the invisibility, complexity and variability of brokering practices. Knowledge brokering needs to be captured in a multifaceted way, by being attentive to the practices involved, the devices created and used and the benefits and limits of their “in between” and peripheral status.
