This book offers a conceptual re-think of how university community
engagement functions as a lifelong learning resource for
communities. While having a specific focus on the South African
context, it has important implications for other universities which
are concerned with their communities, and makes a compelling
argument for the university as a public good, in spite of current
trends towards marketization and commodification of higher
education. The book draws on a theoretical framework of
capabilities, asset-based community development, and the adult
learning concept of dialogue, to propose a model whereby the
boundary walls of the university become metaphorically 'porous', so
that community members feel free to interact with the university as
equal members of society. A historical outline of African
universities is provided, as well as an exploration of the
evolution of terms for community engagement, service learning and
learning cities; and an examination of the policy and practice
implications for the ideological model of a porous university.
