1. Yvonne Hanson
Ms. Hanson is working towards an M.Ed. in Continuing Education at the University of Saskatchewan. Her graduate supervisor is Marcia McKenzie. In her graduate research, Yvonne is looking at the evolution of the local food movement. KIS' is interested in Yvonne's work because she will be using the local food movement as an example of knowledge transfer. Part of her research will involve answering questions such as "how did local food get its start?", "who were the people responsible for spreading the word about local food?", "how did adoption of local food in local systems occur?". Her research is studying an actual example of knowledge mobilization.
