Abstract

The article argues that PD represents a promising strategy for interactive knowledge mobilisation by reconfiguring the relationship between evidence, policy and practice. It contributes to debates on co-creation and knowledge use by demonstrating how practice-based knowledge can act as a driver of change. Certain limitations related to institutional scalability are discussed. The findings have implications for research, policy and practice addressing complex social challenges.
