ABSTRACT
This chapter explains the importance in contemporary feminist research of knowledge mobilisation, the co-creation of knowledge, and making an impact within and beyond academia. It expounds on the role of knowledge mobilisation in different stages of the research process, including prior to, during, and after the research. The chapter draws on insights developed in GenUrb, which has engaged in processes of mutual learning between feminist academics and grassroots women in diverse, global urban contexts and is committed to disseminating academic knowledge. It discusses approaches to dissemination including storytelling, which is accessible to advocacy and practitioner communities and to the general public and useful for urban policy formulation. The chapter is rooted in a feminist understanding that all knowledge emerges from uneven power dynamics and thus provides the reader with strategies across all phases of a research project for how to break down the barriers that exist between researchers and participants, communities, universities, and project partners.
