Towards a Knowledge Democracy Movement: 'Antyodaya' and Higher Education

Posted February 13, 2011 - 09:07 by Budd Hall

In 2011, I want to make visible stories about our universities, communities and social movements creating and using knowledge together in new ways that will support organising for change and creating space for collective action for a more just, sustainable, inclusive and joyful world. I want to see stories on how our collective capacities to 'name the world' as Paulo Freire said, can make a difference to everyone including whom Gandhi referred to, using the Sanskrit word, as 'Antyodya', the last person.
