Influences on the content of what is taught in higher education include new knowledge coming from the various academic disciplines, from the regulatory bodies of many of the professions, from national calls for action, from global challenges, from social movements of the day. This chapter argues that in the search for excellence, engagement and social responsibility that there is no contradiction between responding to local calls for action and global matters. Illustrations of curriculum change which attend to both the local and the global include classroom changes, single university changes, system-wide changes in Canada, Asia, Latin America and New Zealand. We call for more attention to community engaged learning and the creation of central offices for community university engagement.Item Reflections on the impact of Mwalimu Nyerere’s vision on adult and non-formal education(2021) Kassam, Yusuf; Hall, Budd LItem Towards a knowledge democracy movement(2016) Hall, Budd LBased on a comparative international research project examining community-university research partnerships, this paper argues for the emergence of a "knowledge democracy movement." The movement is framed as a crucial response to global social inequities, such as homelessness, illiteracy, and climate change disproportionately impacting marginalized populations. It bridges the traditional gap between Adult Education theory and practice with contemporary literature in Community-Based Research (CBR). It links the learning processes inherent in social movements and civic engagement to the production of knowledge that serves citizenship and social change. The central thesis is that a commitment to knowledge democracy—where knowledge is co-created, shared, and mobilized for public good—is essential for universities to transcend their role as mere knowledge repositories and become effective agents of social transformation. This movement represents a practical pathway for linking life experience, academic inquiry, and hope for a more equitable future.Item Everything old is new again: The importance of engagement to University-based Adult Education in Canada(2010) Hall, Budd LThis paper examines the enduring, yet often underappreciated, role of civic and community engagement within Canadian university-based Adult Education. Tracing the field’s historical roots from the 19th-century British Extramural tradition to the establishment of early Canadian Extension units—such as the one pioneered by Dr. Henry Marshall Tory at the University of Alberta in 1913—this work demonstrates how public engagement was once central to the "knowledge architecture" of the modern state university. The analysis highlights an international convergence of interest on the civic purposes of higher education, while simultaneously pointing to a critical lack of scholarly attention to the practice of engagement in various cultural contexts. Ultimately, the paper reasserts that a strong commitment to public engagement is not merely a service function but a fundamental, revitalized requirement for university-based adult education to remain relevant and fulfill its original mandate of social transformation and "the uplifting of the whole people."Item Higher education, community engagement, and the public good: Building the future of continuing education in Canada(Canadian Journal of University Continuing Education, 2009) Hall, Budd LThis article is about the potential for university-community engagement to serve the public good by transforming the health and well-being of our communities. It documents contemporary expressions of and renewed calls for community university engagement. It includes a detailed treatment of community based research, discussed in the overall context of community-university engagement. The article also explores some other important and growing dimensions of community university engagement, including the development of structures for the support of community-based research and community-service learning. It concludes with an argument that university-community engagement, while not the only current trend in higher education that affects our work in continuing education, is nonetheless a very important new development in which continuing education has much to offer and much to gain.Item Strengthening Community University Research Partnerships: Global Perspectives(University of Victoria and PRIA, 2015-08) Hall, Budd L; Tandon, Rajesh; Tremblay, CrystalUniversities everywhere are being called to engage more closely with the communities around them. This book looks at what that actually means in practice. Bringing together perspectives from fifty countries and case studies from twelve, it explores how reciprocal research partnerships are built, supported, and sustained. The chapters show both the opportunities and the tensions of collaboration, and suggest how such partnerships can strengthen knowledge democracy while reshaping the role of higher education. By tracing patterns across regions, the book highlights the policies and structures that make engagement possible, while also pointing to the deeper cultural shifts that such collaboration demands.
