Community-based Research with Vulnerable Populations : Ethical, Inclusive and Sustainable Frameworks for Knowledge Generation
This book advocates for community-based research with vulnerable populations within the field of higher education.The chapters outline how research can democratize knowledge generation to make it more accessible and socially relevant, and emphasizes the value of the lived and experiential knowledge of vulnerable and marginalized populations.Rooted in a critique of the current practices of higher education that fail to support participatory and transformative research, the research is structured at micro, macro and meso levels to ultimately emancipate colonized thinking of stakeholders about power, privilege and participation.Focusing primarily on various contexts within the Global South, the contributors argue that the time is ripe for community-based research which combines the theoretical knowledge of the academy with the local, experiential knowledge of those experiencing the consequences of social inequality to co-construct knowledge for change.

Handbook of Inclusive Knowledge Management : Ensuring Inclusivity, Diversity, and Equity in Knowledge Processing Activities
Handbook of Inclusive Knowledge Management: Ensuring Inclusivity, Diversity, and Equity in Knowledge Processing Activities examines the role that diversity, equity and inclusivity (DEI) plays in the field and discipline of knowledge management (KM).With the premise that DEI is the inclusion and equal treatment of all types of people, things and viewpoints, the book aims to increase awareness of DEI among KM practitioners and researchers.It is a starting point for adopting knowledge processing activities that ensure all knowledge voices are represented in knowledge creation and capture.The book explains how this valuable knowledge can be shared and disseminated so that there is equitable access as well as knowledge.The focus of this handbook is on inclusivity in KM, its current state, specific challenges and an exploration of the best path forward. Currently, inclusivity does not appear to be on many KM road maps, and this book provides insights into the state-of-the-art of inclusivity in KM.In alignment with the book’s central theme, it presents a diverse range of perspectives that includes KM researchers, KM educators and KM practitioners.Addressing different stages of knowledge processing, as well as the KM bookends of KM culture, KM competencies and KM governance, the book features in-depth case studies to illustrate how inclusivity can be integrated into KM.The handbook concludes with concrete recommendations on how to integrate inclusivity into KM in organizations.Reviewing both the theory and practice of inclusive KM, the book helps readers gain actionable insights into an inclusive KM approach that includes standards, guidelines and checklists.

Knowledge in Context : Representations, Community and Culture
In this classic edition of her groundbreaking text Knowledge in Context, Sandra Jovchelovitch revisits her influential work on the societal and cultural processes that shape the development of representational processes in humans. Through a novel analysis of processes of representation, and drawing on dialogues between psychology, sociology and anthropology, Jovchelovitch argues that representation, a social psychological construct relating Self, Other and Object-world, is at the basis of all knowledge.Exploring the dominant assumptions of western conceptions of knowledge and the quest for a unitary reason free from the ‘impurities’ of person, community and culture, Jovchelovitch recasts questions related to historical comparisons between the knowledge of adults and children, ‘civilised’ and ‘primitive’ peoples, scientists and lay communities and examines the ambivalence of classical theorists such as Piaget, Vygotsky, Freud, Durkheim and Lévy-Bruhl in addressing these issues.Featuring a new introductory chapter, the author evaluates the last decade of research since Knowledge in Context first appeared and reassesses the social psychology of the contemporary public sphere, exploring how challenges to the dialogicality of representations reconfigure both community and selfhood in this early 21st century.This book will make essential reading for all those wanting to follow debates on knowledge and representation at the cutting edge of social, cultural and developmental psychology, sociology, anthropology, development and cultural studies.

The Politics of Knowledge in Inclusive Development and Innovation
This book develops an integrated perspective on the practices and politics of making knowledge work in inclusive development and innovation.While debates about development and innovation commonly appeal to the authority of academic researchers, many current approaches emphasise the plurality of actors with relevant expertise for addressing livelihood challenges.Adopting an action-oriented and reflexive approach, this volume explores the variety of ways in which knowledge works, paying particular attention to dilemmas and controversies.The six parts of the book address the complex interplay of knowledge and politics, starting with the need for knowledge integration in the first part and decolonial perspectives on the politics of knowledge integration in the second part.The following three parts focus on the practices of inclusive development and innovation through three major themes of learning for transformative change, evidence, and digitisation.The final part of the book addresses the governance of knowledge and innovation in the light of political struggles about inclusivity.Exploring conceptual and practical themes through case studies from the Global North and South, this book will be of great interest to students, scholars, and practitioners researching and working in development studies, epistemology, innovation studies, science and technology studies, and sustainability studies more broadly.
