Infos

Universities face the prospect of becoming redundant unless the way teaching and learning takes place changes. This book explores the idea of transformation and pedagogy, In particular, it will highlight how universities are transformed through a set of pedagogical interventions and stances that integrate a sense of moral and ethical purpose to learning. Actively integrating cultural pluralism in developing knowledge and understanding aspires to liberate the learner from existing power structures by fostering a desire to challenge and change the social system in which we live and connects the reality around us and its many problems to the knowledge generation process. 

Ruksana Osman is a Professor of Education and Dean of the Faculty of Humanities at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa.

David J. Hornsby is an Associate Professor of International Relations and Assistant Dean of Humanities, Teaching and Learning, at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa.
