The essays in this volume are an invitation to rethink some of the most basic assumptions of higher education. Both participants and organizations are seen to operate within ongoing patterns of contestation and struggle that embody competing conceptions of reality and what counts for knowledge. Education can be a transformative activity that creates conditions for empowerment through a central concern for social justice and democracy.
