Sharon,
While I'm not a candidate for your article, I'm interested, and it's not a term I've heard before.
See your exclusions, but how do you define knowledge brokering here in UK and elsewhere?

Subject: [PSCI-COM] knowledge brokering
Hi, Is there is anyone out there who considers themselves to be a 'knowledge
broker' and would be happy to be interviewed for an article I am writing for an
overseas publication? I am keen to cover as many aspects of knowledge brokering
in the UK as I can, so am as interested to hear from people working for
organisations or departments as I am from freelancers, and would like to explore
this role within a range of settings including private sector consultancy,
charities, professional associations, and academia.
I realise 'knowledge brokering' is a rather loose and broad term, and in order
to fulfill my brief for this article I'm afraid I won't be able to cover either
science communication direct to the public, or technology/knowledge transfer
departments in universities that help solely with direct commercialization of
academic research via spin-out companies.
However I am looking to feature any other scenarios where people mediate
interactions between scientists and any form of stakeholder to make sure all
parties understand both the science and any other issues at stake.
If anyone can help, whether as a potential interviewee, or by providing
information on the types of knowledge brokering their organisation is involved
in, please could you contact me off list at [log in to unmask]
Many thanks.
Best wishes to all,
Sharon Ann
