It puts forward a normative approach based on human development and the capability approach, one which can gain a hearing from policy, scholarship, and practitioners dealing with practical issues of understanding policy, democratising research and knowledge, and fostering student learning—all key university functions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book argues that such an approach can elucidate development debates, drawing on local, national, and international issues and examples to show why higher education matters for sustainable development goals both in educational and social terms. It advocates a new arena of engagement with universities as key sites of development and freedoms beyond human capital, and challenges development omissions and gaps around university education. The book explores how the human development approach addresses the following core ideas: the meaning of well-being, the idea of agency, participation and democratic citizenship, how to address inequalities, the relation between local and global, and the idea of equitable partnerships.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eUniversities and Global Human Development\u003c\/em\u003e is addressed to researchers and postgraduate students in development studies, university education, the capability approach, and the human development community.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47608231624940,"sku":"9781138822450","price":353.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781138822450-universities-and-global-human-development.jpg?v=1778191638"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/alejandra-boni.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
