Welcome to episode sixteen of the Knowledge Exchange Podcast. This podcast series is a product supported by the Canadian Council on Learning – Canada’s leading organization committed to improving learning across Canada and in all walks of life.
I want to thank the great staff at CCL for their efforts with this project to advance our understanding of effective knowledge exchange to improve the learning of Canadians.

Dr. Ray Deonandan is a scientist, thinker, teacher, novelist, and explorer. Not fitting easily into any one discipline or structure, he spans the boundaries between several worlds and shares lessons between each – perhaps an archetype of the knowledge broker that is emerging as a defined role in many organizations. The conversation we had in Ottawa was profound and humorous, focused and expansive; much like Ray’s approach to his work. I think you will appreciate his grounded examples and his ability to link difficult concepts to stories. Human history is grounded in storytelling, so is knowledge exchange. Sit back and enjoy a fun ride.
