Peter Moll: Academics need to find their place in the new 'open knowledge society'

gdnetcairo — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 21:01:45 +0000

	Peter Moll: Academics need to find their place in the new 'open knowledge society' In this video Peter Moll (International Analyst and Consultant) talks about the emergence of the 'open knowledge society' and what this means for academic researchers. Moll believes that academics have to move away from holding the view that their knowledge is superior to other forms. He says that linear views of knowledge that tend to dominate within the academic community need to be replaced by a more dynamic understandings of how knowledge operate in the open knowledge society. Moll believes this can be initiated through setting more incentives in place to ensure academics engage with the new open knowledge based society. The first step in this process requires academics to be more humble and modest about what their current linear understanding of knowledge transfer can produce. Academics and their institutions have an important role to play, and although many have taken great strides forward, there is still some way to go before the academic community operates more fully on this new level, concludes Moll.

Take home messages of Kstar 2012 with Catherine Fisher

gdnetcairo — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 19:25:32 +0000

	Take home messages of Kstar 2012 with Catherine Fisher Reflecting on the stories and lessons learned throughout the Kstar conference 2012, Catherine Fisher -- who is based at the Impact and Learning Team at the Institute for Development Studies -- shares her take home messages. What stood out for Catherine was the notion that knowledge brokering should be embedded within the research process from the start. A very different approach to her current work in international development where knowledge brokering is often very remote from the research. To avoid knowledge brokering being 'all motherhood and apple pie', Catherine emphasised the importance of acknowledging the power dynamics between different knowledge actors, a key issues which was repeated in most discussions. And finally, it is important that knowledge brokering doesn't eclipse the importance of knowledge gathering.	From: gdnetcairo Views: 47 1 ratings
