Social Innovation in Higher Education

"This marvellous collection assembles a set of highly insightful essays that blend the capability approach and participatory action research in order to fight epistemic injustices in higher education contexts. Highly congenial to Freirean pedagogy, the collection vividly demonstrates the epistemic and emancipatory power of participatory knowledge production from below."

Higher education policy is the key to lifelong learning and this is particularly important as the ageing population is increasing in many countries.

This publication explores a range of helpful policy measures and institutional reforms to mobilise higher education for regional development. It is part of the series of the OECD Reviews that analyse how the higher education system impacts upon regional and local development and bring together universities and other HEIs and public and private agencies to identify strategic goals and to work towards them.
