In this chapter, Dr. Budd Hall and Yusuf Kassam revisit the work, vision, principles and institutional innovations that shaped adult and non-formal education in Tanzania during the 1970s. Writing from their own lived involvement at the Institute of Adult Education, the University of Dar es Salaam and later the International Council for Adult Education, the authors recount the literacy campaigns, radio learning groups and the training of adult educators under Nyerere’s leadership. Such initiatives led to dramatic reductions in illiteracy in the 1970s. Central to Nyerere’s vision was the integration of education into everyday life as a process rooted in socialist development. However, as capital driven priorities have reshaped Tanzania’s development trajectory, the authors ask what remains of this vision. They argue for reinvigorating literacy and adult education as critical tools to address contemporary challenges including climate change and deepening socio-economic inequalities.Item The power of collaboration, creativity and art in knowledge mobilization: Reflections from international work(2020) Tandon, Rajesh; Hall, Budd LItem Beyond epistemicide: Knowledge democracy, higher education and the path towards pluriversality(UNESCO Chair, 2016) Hall, Budd LHow have our knowledge systems been shaped by histories of colonisation, enclosure and dispossession, and what might it mean to move beyond them? In this lecture delivered in Brighton, Dr. Budd L. Hall traces how contemporary knowledge systems are rooted in long histories of land theft, colonial expansion and epistemicide. Beginning with a personal account of his family’s migration to Canada and the acquisition of Indigenous land through illegal and immoral means, he situates his own access to higher education within the material histories of dispossession that financed universities and consolidated Western knowledge systems as dominant. Drawing on David Harvey’s notion of accumulation by dispossession and Boaventura de Sousa Santos’ concept of epistemicide, Hall argues that universities have functioned as sites of enclosure, determining who is authorised to produce knowledge and whose knowledge systems are dismissed. Through examples from India, Uganda, South Africa and beyond, the lecture highlights alternative knowledge systems that persist despite marginalisation. It calls for transforming knowledge systems through knowledge democracy, co-creation and a sustained commitment towards epistemic justice.
