By doing this, PRIA has helped Higher Educational Institutions (HEls) realize their social responsibility towards a community's needs and aspirations. This document traces PRIA's work in promoting community engagement within HEls in India and beyond. The experience, garnered over three decades, have been classified into six categories to highlight the different forms PRIA's interventions as a facilitator have taken to build bridges between the world of formal research, the practitioner knowledge of civil society actors and the experiential knowledge of local communities. The experiences discussed in this paper are not intended to be comprehensive; a few specific interventions are described under each category to illustrate the nature of the engagements fostered and the practices promoted.Item Building a global learning network: The international council for adult education(International Council for Adult Education, 0000) Hall, Budd LItem Commentary on the progress report on the futures of education(UNESCO Chair, 2020-04-24) Tandon, Rajesh; Hall, Budd LItem Community based participatory research & sustainable development goals(2017) Hall, Budd L; Tandon, RajeshItem Community engagement in higher education institutions: Status report 2015(UNESCO Chair, 2015-04) Tandon, Rajesh; Singh, WafaItem Curriculum, higher education, and the public good(2009) Hall, Budd L; Bhatt, Nandita; Lepore, WalterCurriculum change in higher education is an extremely complex process. Influences on the content of what is taught in higher education include new knowledge coming from the various academic disciplines, from the regulatory bodies of many of the professions, from national calls for action, from global challenges, from social movements of the day. This chapter argues that in the search for excellence, engagement and social responsibility that there is no contradiction between responding to local calls for action and global matters. Illustrations of curriculum change which attend to both the local and the global include classroom changes, single university changes, system-wide changes in Canada, Asia, Latin America and New Zealand. We call for more attention to community engaged learning and the creation of central offices for community university engagement.Item Diversity & social inclusion in higher education: Reflections from FICCI HES 2017(UNESCO Chair, 2018-01-01) UNESCO ChairItem Fostering social responsibility by higher educational institutions: COVID-19 & Beyond-WEBINAR(Participatory Research in Asia (PRIA), 2020-04-08) Participatory Research in Asia (PRIA); Association of Indian UniversitiesItem India launch of the UNESCO Chair in community-based research and social responsibility in higher education(UNESCO Chair, 2012-12) Hall, Budd L; Tandon, RajeshItem India launch of UNESCO Chair and symposium on “Fostering Social Responsibility in Higher Education”(Jamia Millia Islamia & Participatory Research in Asia (PRIA), 2012-12-10) Jamia Millia Islamia; Participatory Research in Asia (PRIA)Item International Adult Education(2016) Hall, Budd LItem International collaboration for changing the culture of research: The UNESCO Chair in community-based research and social responsibility in higher education(Autonomie Locali e Servizi Sociali, 2020-04-01) Hall, Budd L; Tandon, RajeshItem Introduction social responsibility and community based research in higher education institutions(BRILL, 2021) Hall, Budd L; Tandon, RajeshItem Knowledge democracy and diverse epistemologies: Inspired by the book “Socially responsible higher education: International perspectives on knowledge democracy”(UNESCO Chair, 2021) Tandon, Rajesh; Hall, Budd LItem Leave no one behind. Repositioning Higher Education for achieving SDGs(UNESCO Chair, 2022-11-05) Vargiu, Andrea; Tandon, Rajesh; Kaul, NiharikaRecent global disruptions connected to financial turbulence, pandemic outbreak, and global political instability up for hybrid warfare put the 2030 Agenda's vision at risk. Higher Education (HE) is central to the 2030 Agenda, but its potential hasn't been fully deployed thus far. A stronger role of HE in tackling the world's most pressing issues is therefore necessary. Which requires the repositioning of HE and the reshaping of its principles and practices. By referring to extensive experience on the ground of the Knowledge for Change Consortium members, and a wide range of contributions from the Global South and the excluded North, this policy brief approaches this need by discussing four interrelated themes: 1. HE for the public good 2. Socially inclusive HE 3. Diversity of epistemologies and knowledge systems 4. Contextual responsiveness and place-based learning This policy brief calls on HE leaders and actors to promote transformations within their institutions and HE systems, using the recommendations to critically reflect and act to reposition HE for achieving the 2030 Agenda.Item Making the commitment: Contributions of higher education to SDGs(Participatory Research in Asia (PRIA), 2017-09) Tandon, RajeshItem Participatory research-Popular knowledge and power(1984-09) Hall, Budd L
