Social Innovation is emerging as an alternate interdisciplinary
development pathway of knowledge and practice that aims to
understand and address contemporary complexities and multi -
dimensional social realities. BEPA (2011) defines social innovation
as, 'innovations that are social in both their ends and means'.
However, though Social Innovation is a widely-used term; its
conceptual understanding and the specific relation to social change
remains under explored. People Centered Social Innovation: Global
perspectives on an Emerging Paradigm attempts to revisit and extend
the existing understanding of Social Innovation in practice by
focusing upon the lived realities of marginalized groups and
communities. The emerging field of people-centered development is
placed in dialogue with theory and concepts from the more
established field of social innovation to create a new approach;
one that adopts a global perspective, engaging with very different
experiences of marginality across the global north and south.
Theoretically, 'People Centered Social Innovation: Global
Perspectives on an Emerging Paradigm' draws upon 'northern'
understandings of change and improvement as well as 'southern'
theory concerns for epistemological diversity and meaning making.
The result is an experiment aimed at reimagining research and
practice that seriously needs to center the actor in processes of
social transformation.
