The conversation that you're about to hear took place in Toronto on Monday, April 23rd, 2007 at OISE (Ontario Institute for Studies in Education).
Dr. Levin has spent his career at the intersection of evidence and decision making. He is exceptionally well placed to comment on knowledge exchange and mobilization. His comments on the differences between the political and policy aspects of government are very helpful for those trying to influence the decisions made by our governments. He identifies some leading policy entrepreneurs but calls for more infrastructures to support knowledge exchange and mobilization. Dr. Levin suggests that there are many good initiatives happening however we need more evidence on what works well and when.
I always learn so much from my conversations with Ben, it is my hope that you do too.
