Item Starting from Nina: The Poetic Soul of Paulo Freire(Canadian Association for the Study of Adult Education (CASAE)., 2023) Hall, Budd L; Barndt, Deborah; Jackson, Edward; Martin, D’Arcy; Thomas, BarbaraThis collaborative, co-authored article by Budd Hall, Deborah Barndt, Edward Jackson, D’Arcy Martin and Barbara Thomas explores the poetics of the work of Paulo Freire, the legendary Brazilian philosopher and educator. All five authors are themselves poets or people who have used poetry in their work as adult educators and facilitators of social justice. They believe that this is the first English-language publication of the poem “Recife Forever,” written by Freire himself about the city of his birth. It was written in Chile during his years of exile by the Brazilian dictator.Item Knowledge Democracy, Transformation and Higher Education(2013-05-15) Hall, Budd LIn this paper, Budd Hall examines what the waning confidence in a one size fits all global economy and the Western canon means for higher education and its social responsibility. Drawing on examples from Durban’s shack dwellers’ university, South Africa’s traditional healers, and PRIA in India, he introduces knowledge democracy as an alternative to the “knowledge economy” and “knowledge society”. The concept rests on three ideas: plural ways of knowing, plural forms of expression, and the use of knowledge to deepen democracy. He then turns to the community-university engagement movement as a promising site for institutional change. The paper closes with the 2013 Barcelona meeting of global engagement networks, convened by Guni to advance a shared agenda for action.Item Injustices épistémiques et recherche participative: un agenda de recherche à la croisée de l’université et des communautés | Epistemic injustices and participatory research: a research agenda at the crossroads of the university and communities(UTS ePRESS, 2020-05-31) Godrie, Baptiste; Boucher, Maxime; Bissonnette, Sylvia; Chaput, Pierre; Flores, Javier; Dupéré, Sophie; Gélineau, Lucie; Piron, Florence; Bandini, AudeCet article présente un cadre d'analyse innovant ancré dans le concept d'injustices épistémiques pour évaluer les recherches participatives. Composé d'une méthodologie de travail et d'un outil d'autoévaluation, ce cadre d'analyse a été développé au fil d'un processus participatif de production et de mobilisation des savoirs qui a pris place au cours des deux dernières années. Lëquipe multidisciplinaire ayant entrepris ce processus est composée des chercheur-es et des représentant-es du Groupe de recherche et de formation sur la pauvreté au Québec travaillant à l'élaboration d'un programme scientifique de recherche sur les injustices épistémiques et les recherches participatives.Item Voices of change: participatory research in the United States and Canada(BERGIN & GARVEY, 1993) Park, Peter; Brydon-Miller, Mary; Hall, Budd L; Jackson, TedThis book is a collection of articles which focus on the North American experience in participatory research. The authors have all been directly engaged in participatory research. Some of us have also been involved in theoretical elaboration and quite a few of us have been involved with creating or maintaining networks, centers, or other structures which support the work of many other organizations and individuals. I would submit that the fact that each of us has been engaged in practical, theoretical, and institutional aspects of the participatory research discourse gives our work its flavor.Item The democratization of research in adult and non-formal education(John Wiley & Sons, 1981) Hall, Budd LItem Participatory research and participation in research: A look between times and spaces from Latin America(International Journal of Action Research, 2005) Brandao, Carlos RodriguesWe acknowledge that participatory research existed in the past, and exists today within different traditions. We acknowledge the gestation of a “Latin American tradition” based on the pioneering experience of Orlando Fals Borda and Paulo Freire. This tradition of participatory research can only be understood in its origins and its currentness, referenced to the social and political contexts of the time when it was instituted in Latin America, between the 1970s and 1980s. It made much use of the European and North American traditions, but possesses specific characteristics, beginning with its historical connection to the popular social movements and their emancipatory social transformation projects. A few principles of convergence between different styles are presented and discussed.Item Guidelines for ethical research in Australian indigenous studies(Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies (AIATSIS), 2012)The AIATSIS Guidelines for Ethical Research in Australian Indigenous Studies offer a set of rules for carrying out research in and about Indigenous peoples of Australia. According to the guidelines, the diversity, rights, perspectives and self-determination of Indigenous peoples, as well as the protection of cultural heritage, traditional knowledge, cultural expressions and intellectual property of Indigenous peoples should be recognised. Moreover, the guidelines state that Indigenous knowledge, practices and innovations should be acknowledged throughout the process of research. Finally, consultation, negotiation and free, prior and informed consent are set as basic principles of research, meaning that Indigenous peoples should be engaged in the process of research as equals. Consultation, common understanding, cultural appropriateness of research methodology and agreements about ownership, access, publication and research results are highlighted by the guidelines.Item 50th anniversary edition of pedagogy of the oppressed(2020) Hall, Budd LWhy has Pedagogy of the Oppressed remained one of the most influential works in educational thought for more than five decades? In this review, Dr. Budd L. Hall critically examines the 50th Anniversary Edition of Paulo Freire’s foundational work and explores the reasons for its enduring global impact. Drawing on personal recollections from his time in 1970s Tanzania, Hall reflects on how Freire's philosophy shaped early radical adult literacy initiatives. The review emphasizes that the strength of Freire’s work emerged from its close connection to the experiences of marginalized communities and literacy movements in Brazil, where dialogue and collective reflection became tools for understanding and challenging oppression. This is further enriched by contributions from Donaldo Macedo and Ira Shor, whose writings in the anniversary edition highlight the continuing relevance of Freire’s ideas in a world marked by inequality and political polarization. Ultimately, the review concludes that Freire's work remains significant because it demonstrates how education can enable marginalized communities to understand, challenge, and transform oppressive social conditions.Item Seeing like a citizen’ re-claiming citizenship in a neoliberal world. November 28-29,2005(Institute of Development Studies, 2005-11-29) Gaventa, JohnWhat does it mean to be a citizen, and how is that meaning shifting under neoliberalism? In this paper, Prof. John Gaventa discusses how citizenship has increasingly moved away from a rights centered approach towards a more consumption-based approach. Depoliticised notions of citizenship have taken precedence under neoliberalism, where individuals are framed as consumers, users, voters, or beneficiaries rather than as rights bearing actors in their own right. He situates this shift within broader transformations of the state as well, which is not simply withdrawing but is being reconfigured to actively advance market logics, often weakening its role as a guarantor of rights. Through this paper, Gaventa proposes “reversing the telescope” by centering the perspectives of citizens as actors in development processes. This approach foregrounds what he terms thick forms of citizenship, where participation, contestation, and collective action are central. Moving beyond market, state and democracy first forms of citizenship, he argues that placing citizens first enables a re-politicisation of citizenship, strengthening claims to rights, accountability, and more meaningful democratic engagement.
