This collection of articles and artwork examines inclusive
community development education, which engages members of diverse,
often marginalised groups in research and education for social
change. Community development education is the democratic and
scholarly practice of involving everyday people, from all
backgrounds, in the research-based process of designing, starting,
and evaluating programs that meet people's needs. The book's varied
contributions serve as personalised invitations to: work with
others as equals, join democratic social projects, talk to people
"you wouldn't have talked to before", value self-education,
recognise contributions made by unpaid workers, invent ways to be
non-violent, challenge passivity, and use democracy as a way to
improve communities and the world. Addressing culture to science,
chapters contain work carried out by younger and older scholarly
activists in: Women's Studies, anti-racist and anti-colonial
studies, history, the social sciences, global studies, community
studies, media studies, horticulture, philosophy, education,
co-operatives and community service, social-movement organising,
project development, political art, and popular music. Each chapter
contains diverse themes, comes from multidisciplinary research, and
speaks to the subject of education for social change in individual
ways. Contributions focus on popular education, self-education,
self-defined group education, group-defined university projects,
and scholarly activism in local to global movements.
