Socially Just Pedagogies, Capabilities and Quality in Higher Education [electronic resource] : Global Perspectives /
Walker, Melanie.editor.
Wilson-Strydom, Merridy.editor.
This book explores the idea that teaching and learning - pedagogy - at universities is a crucial space for students' formation as ethical graduates, equipped with knowledge, skills and values to contribute to more equal societies. We know that universities across the globe do not stand apart from social and educational inequalities at multiple levels; they have the potential to reproduce or reduce social inequalities and therefore towards transformative ends. This book suggests how this could be achieved both via policy and practice around the globe.
Includes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters and index.
