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 Regionalizing the UNESCO knowledge for change consortium: K4C at the ESC!(UNESCO Chair, 2023-10-05) Mercy, NkathaItem The knowledge for change global consortium(Participatory Research in Asia (PRIA), 2021-11-04) Kaul, NiharikaItem Knowledge for Change (K4C): Global consortium(Participatory Research in Asia (PRIA), 2024-04) Rai, RuchikaItem An introduction to the history, theory and practice of participatory action research(Department of Politics and International Relations, 2025) Díaz-Arévalo, Juan MarioItem International collaboration for changing the culture of research: UN SDGs and knowledge for change consortium(2020) Hall, Budd L; Tandon, RajeshDr. Budd L. Hall and Dr. Rajesh Tandon explore the role of international networks in advancing participatory knowledge creation for social change in higher education. They trace the evolution of participatory research from its origins in the 1970s to its institutional development today. . They describe a series of global studies produced under the Chair that document community-university research partnerships across multiple countries and connect this work to the policy debates around the UN Sustainable Development Goals, including the European Union's Responsible Research and Innovation framework. The article outlines three practical ways community-based participatory research (CBPR) can support SDG-linked knowledge, framing research locally, building community knowledge partnerships, and developing new researcher competencies. It also details the Knowledge for Change (K4C) Consortium's Mentor Training Program, which has built research capacity across the global South and the "excluded North" through hubs in eleven countries. Hall and Tandon call for a transformation of research culture toward justice, equity, and community relevance.Item Shaping socially responsible higher education through knowledge democratisation(2023) Hall, Budd LBeginning with early influences, Budd Hall shares some background on his 60+ years of engagement with the world of higher education. Sharing a world view deeply critical of the contemporary domination of global capitalism, he suggests that knowledge activism, knowledge democracy, and questions of knowledge equity, are key to the radical reinvention of higher education that is needed. He goes on to outline principles of socially responsible higher education, closing with a message of the urgency of our times.Item Contemporary conversations and movements in adult education: From knowledge democracy to the aesthetic turn(2022) Hall, Budd L; Clover, Darlene EWhat does it mean to contribute meaningfully to the evolving field of adult education today? In this article, Dr. Budd Hall and Darlene E Clover examine and engage with several contemporary conversations and movements in which they have been active participants, describing our respective contributions to the field of adult education. Hall focuses on the interconnected frameworks of knowledge democracy, community-based participatory research, and social movement learning. Clover advances new understandings at the intersection of aesthetics and gender justice, drawing upon her research and teaching work across both areas. Together, their reflections demonstrate the diverse ways in which adult education can contribute to social transformation and democratic engagement. Through a reflective examination of their scholarly and practical contributions, the article explores how adult educators can engage with questions of knowledge, justice, and social change. .
