Item 50th anniversary edition of pedagogy of the oppressed: A review(2020) Hall, Budd LItem A Call for a dialogue between knowledges(2020) Hall, Budd LItem A Canadian approach to higher education, community-engagement and the public good: The future of continuing education(2009) Hall, Budd LThis work addresses the vital role of Community-University Engagement (CUE) in Canadian higher education as a critical strategy for responding to major global challenges like social injustice and climate change. It is argued that the collective resources of universities are the largest under-utilized assets for community change and sustainability. This work introduces the CUE Factor as a triangle encompassing “Community-Based Experiential Learning”, “Community-Based Research (CBR), and Community-Based Continuing Education” , defining CBR as a collaborative, democratizing process aimed at “social action and justice”. While Continuing Education (CE) units have over a century of experience and a strong base in lifelong learning, they face significant challenges, including declining institutional support and a perceived distance from the university's core academic and research functions. Therefore, this paper proposes an agenda for action to position CE centrally within the CUE movement, recommending that CE units strengthen their research profiles, lead university-wide discussions on civic engagement, and forge action alliances with community organizations to ensure universities meet their obligation to contribute to social transformation.Item ‘A giant human hashtag’: Learning and the #occupy movement(2011) Hall, Budd LItem A Northeastern Brazilian: Memories of Paulo Freire(2018) Hall, Budd LItem A policy brief on knowledge mobilization: The power of creativity and action(UNESCO Chair, 2022-05-11) Hall, Budd L; Tandon, RajeshThis brief fits within the Data and Knowledge Production theme, but also relates to the Futures of Higher Education and the Higher Education and the SDGs themes. If we are to meet the challenges of our times, the research produced within higher education institutions and their partners needs a dramatic shift from the academic mode of knowledge production to a societal mode of knowledge production and sharing. it will require that attention be given to the creation of locally contextualised knowledge with priorities for action that affect the everyday lives of people where they live and work. The Active participation of local stake-holders---community, local governments, local business, women & youth-in co-producing and sharing the knowledge of such local solutions can be facilitated through their involvement in the research process. Knowledge mobilization (KmB) is therefore called for. Our brief provides a context for understanding the need for KmB as well as providing examples of how creative or arts-based approaches to KmB have been proven to be effective.Item A river of life: Learning and environmental social movements(Interface: A journal for and about social movement, 2009) Hall, Budd LThis article by Budd L. Hall argues that the catalytic power of learning and knowledge creation is undervalued and undertheorized in the discourse surrounding social movements, yet it is essential for explaining their power and potential. He introduces "social movement learning" as a vital, embodied space—a "river of life"—that connects individuals' knowledge, hopes, and dreams across communities and generations. This learning includes three forms: informal learning by participants, intentional educational efforts by the movements, and public learning resulting from their activities.Item African studies, the formation of knowledge and political commitment(University of Ottawa, 1978-05-04) Hall, Budd LItem Against Epistemicide: Decolonising Higher Education(2020) Hall, Budd L; Tandon, RajeshItem An emerging global civil society? Implications for learning and work(2000) Hall, Budd LItem An introduction to the Ekoln letter on universities in the era of climate change(2021) Masschelein, Jan; Lotz-Sisitka, Heila; Hall, Budd L; O’Brien, Karen; Dinerstein, Ana; Andreo, Vanessa; Thiel, Pella; Eiríksdó r, Lovísa; Chabay, Ilan; Hine, Dougald; Wright, Sue; Barrineau, Sanna; Barne, Ronald; Stein, Sharon; Stoddard, Isak; Webster, Noah Sobe; Facer, Keri; Kulundu-Bolus, InjairuItem Beyond epistemicide: Knowledge democracy and higher education(UNESCO Chair, 2015) Hall, Budd LAs universities grapple with their role in a world marked by inequality and ecological crisis, the question of whose knowledge counts has become impossible to ignore. This paper situates higher education within a longer history of epistemicide, the systematic erasure of indigenous and marginalized ways of knowing, and examines how knowledge democracy offers a path toward repair. By drawing on examples of community-based research and indigenous scholarship, it argues for reimagining universities as sites of dialogue rather than dominance, where multiple epistemologies can coexist. The study underscores both the transformative promise and the unresolved tensions of this shift, positioning knowledge democracy less as a finished framework than as an unfolding experiment in rebalancing power and voice.Item Beyond Epistemicide: Knowledge democracy, Higher Education and the path towards pluriversality(UNESCO Chair, 2016) Hall, Budd LItem Beyond partnerships: Embracing complexity to understand and improve research collaboration for global development(2021) Fransman, Jude; Hall, Budd L; Hayman, Rachel; Narayanan, Pradeep; Newman, Kate; Tandon, RajeshWhile there is a burgeoning literature on the benefits of research collaboration for development, it tends to promote the idea of the ‘partnership’ as a bounded site in which interventions to improve collaborative practice can be made. This article draws on complexity theory and systems thinking to argue that such an assumption is problematic, divorcing collaboration from wider systems of research and practice. Instead, a systemic framework for understanding and evaluating collaboration is proposed. This framework is used to reflect on a set of principles for fair and equitable research collaboration that emerged from a programme of strategic research and capacity strengthening conducted by the Rethinking Research Collaborative (RRC) for the United Kingdom (UK)’s primary research funder: UK Research and Innovation (UKRI). The article concludes that a systemic conceptualisation of collaboration is more responsive than a ‘partnership’ approach, both to the principles of fairness and equity and also to uncertain futures.Item Big Tent Communique VI. Local identities and global citizenship: A message from Catania and challenges for universities(2015-11-04) Hall, Budd LIn a world facing growing inequality, conflict, and environmental strain, the Sixth Big Tent Communiqué reflects on what role universities can play in responding to these challenges. It sees higher education as more than classrooms and research, calling for closer ties with communities and a stronger sense of responsibility to society. The communiqué raises questions about how universities can support young people, create knowledge that connects rather than divides, and rebuild trust in uncertain times. Instead of final answers, it leaves open the possibility that the future of universities will depend on how far they are willing to rethink their purpose.Item Breaking the monopoly of knowledge: research methods, participation and development(1977) Hall, Budd LThis work critically examines the role of social science research in development, arguing that a historical "monopoly of knowledge" centralized in elite academic institutions undermines the authentic knowledge , by questioning the top-down concept of education and development This monopoly operates by validating external, scientific, and often quantitative knowledge while systematically marginalizing and denying the relevance of the local, experiential, and political knowledge held by the majority. It also critiques orthodox survey research for its inherent ideological bias, its creation of a dominant/alienating researcher-subject relationship, its production of static and irrelevant social data, and its failure to inherently link findings to meaningful action. As a counter-paradigm, the paper advocates for Participatory Research (PR). PR is defined as a unified process of “social investigation”, “educational growth”, and “action for social change”. By transferring control over the research agenda and empowering the community to be studied, PR not only generates more accurate and relevant knowledge but also functions as a political tool. This approach is positioned as a necessary corrective for research, aligning with the principles of self-reliance and the liberation of “human creative potential”Item Bridging knowledge cultures: A guide for community practitioners and community organizations(UNESCO Chair, 2024) Lepore, Walter; Hall, Budd L; Tandon, RajeshItem Building a global learning network: The international council for adult education(International Council for Adult Education, 0000) Hall, Budd L
