Item Item 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 ‘A giant human hashtag’: Learning and the #occupy movement(2011) Hall, Budd LItem Beyond Epistemicide: Knowledge democracy, Higher Education and the path towards pluriversality(UNESCO Chair, 2016) Hall, Budd LItem Against Epistemicide: Decolonising Higher Education(2020) Hall, Budd L; Tandon, RajeshItem Decolonisation of knowledge, epistemicide, participatory research and higher education(2017) Hall, Budd L; Tandon, RajeshThis article raises questions about what the word 'knowledge' refers to. Drawn from some 40 years of collaborative work on knowledge democracy, the authors suggest that higher education institutions today are working with a very small part of the extensive and diverse knowledge systems in the world. Following from de Sousa Santos, they illustrate how Western knowledge has been engaged in epistemicide, or the killing of other knowledge systems. Community-based participatory research is about knowledge as an action strategy for change and about the rendering visible of the excluded knowledges of our remarkable planet. Knowledge stories, theoretical dimensions of knowledge democracy and the evolution of community-based participatory research partnerships are highlighted.
