Is the university contributing to our global crises or does it offer stories of hope? Much recent debate about higher education has focussed upon rankings, quality, financing and student mobility. The COVID-19 pandemic, the climate crisis, the calls for decolonisation, the persistence of gender violence, the rise of authoritarian nationalism, and the challenge of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals have taken on new urgency and given rise to larger questions about the social relevance of higher education. In this new era of uncertainty, and perhaps opportunity, higher education institutions can play a vital role in a great transition or civilisational shift to a newly imagined world.    Socially Responsible Higher Education: International Perspectives on Knowledge Democracy shares the experiences of a broadly representative and globally dispersed set of writers on higher education and social responsibility, broadening perspectives on the democratisation of knowledge. The editors have deliberately sought examples and viewpoints from parts of the world that are seldom heard in the international literature. Importantly, they have intentionally chosen to achieve a gender and diversity balance among the contributors. The stories in this book call us to take back the right to imagine, and ‘reclaim’ the public purposes of higher education.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eForeword   Dzulkifli Abdul Razak  Acknowledgements  List of Figures and Tables  Notes on Contributors    Introduction: Social Responsibility and Community Based Research in Higher Education Institutions   Budd Hall and Rajesh Tandon    PART 1: Higher Education and Civic Space for Learning  1 The University and the Tensions of Inclusion as Part of the Ethos of Social Responsibility   Ana Maria de Albuquerque Moreira, Andrea Tejera Techera, Márcia Lopes Reis and Sebastian Schurmann  2 Rethinking Higher Education for Social Responsibility in South Africa: Considering Synergies between Gandhian Principles and Ubuntu   Kanya Padayachee, Darren Lortan and Savathrie Maistry  3 Nepali Lifeworld and Its Higher Education System: A Critical Assessment of the Dis\/Connection   Kapil Dev Regmi  4 ‘Social Infrastructures’ in the Nexus of Education and Justice   Benita Moolman and Janice McMillan  5 Why Are Our Rankings So White?   University Wankings  6 Saying ‘No’ to Rankings and Metrics: Scholarly Communication and Knowledge Democracy   Florence Piron, Tom Olyhoek, Ivonne Lujano Vilchis, Ina Smith and Zakari Liré    PART 2: Curricula: Decolonised and Local  7 Education outside the Classroom: Social Commitment in University Education   James Cuenca Morales and Claudia Lucía Mora Motta  8 Community Learning and the Arts in Art Education: Experiences in Montenegro   Anđela Jakšić-Stojanović  9 Higher Education and the Unique Gifts of Persons with Intellectual Disabilities   Anna Nahirna and Olha Mykhailyshyn  10 Language, Identity and Transformation: The Case of Arabic in Qatari Higher Education   Emna Belkhiria, Mazhar al-Zo’by and Arslan Ayari  11 Universities and Society in Kyrgyzstan: A Historical, Political and Economic Perspective   Bohdan Krawchenko, Zalina Enikeeva and Tamara Krawchenko    PART 3: Teaching: Engaged Action  12 Social Responsibility and Legal Education in India: A Study in Special Reference to National Law Universities   Anita Kumari and Pratikalpa Sharma  13 Engaging the School Community into Diversity and Inclusion: The Case of EHESP School of Public Health   Estelle Baurès and Alessia Lo Porto-Lefébure  14 Service Learning at the Instituto Professional of Chile: Social Responsibility in Higher Technical and Professional Education   José Sepúlveda Maulén  15 Towards a New Understanding of Social Responsibility: The Experiences and Challenges Faced by Peru’s Law Schools   Renata Anahí Bregaglio Lazarte, Renato Antonio Constantino Caycho and Paula Camino Morgado    PART 4: Partnerships: Renegotiating Knowledge and Society  16 Tagore, Social Responsibility and Higher Education in India   Sarita Anand  17 Preventing University Student Radicalisation: A Social Responsibility for Institutions of Higher Education   Catherine Déri  18 Support for Prospective Refugee Students in Germany: Quo Vadis?    Jana Berg  19 50 Years and beyond on Knowledge for Change in Malaysia: The Case of Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM)   Aileen Tan Shau Hwai, Muzaimi Mustapha, Asyirah Abdul Rahim and Darshan Singh  20 Towards a European Framework for Community Engagement in Higher Education   Thomas Farnell and Bojana Ćulum Ilić  21 Policies, Learning and Ethical Positions in the University-Community Articulation: Higher Education Legitimacy in the Southern Cone   Sebastián Fuentes  22 Trying to Say ‘No’ to Rankings and Metrics: Case Studies from Francophone West Africa, South Africa, Latin America and the Netherlands   Florence Piron, Tom Olyhoek, Ivonne Lujano Vilchis, Ina Smith and Zakari Liré    Conclusion: Towards a Framework for Knowledge Democracy   Rajesh Tandon and Budd Hall    Index","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210804715863,"sku":"9789004435759","price":52.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/socially-responsible-higher-education-international-perspectives-on-knowledge-democracy-9789004435759","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
