[IRTalk] [Call for Expressions of Interest] Universities and Social Inequalities in the Global South

[Nason Bimbe]

*Maybe of interest to some of you!*



*Call for Expressions of Interest*

*Universities and Social Inequalities in the Global South*


*Are you familiar with research around the topic of universities and
inequalities, particularly in the global South? Do you know of analyses
that show that tertiary education is fulfilling its potential to reduce
inequalities, or is there more evidence that higher education institutions
contribute to increasing inequalities? If so, we'd like to hear from you.*

UNRISD is seeking Expressions of Interest from researchers who would like
to develop papers, based on existing research, on issues surrounding
universities and social inequalities in the global South. The papers will
help UNRISD and its partners to develop a project proposal focusing on the
role of universities in reinforcing or lessening social inequalities in
low- and middle-income countries. The proposed project will explore the
following questions: What potential does higher education have today to
increase social mobility, reduce inequality and contribute to the
advancement of society through the production of knowledge and skills? Are
institutions of higher education contributing to inequality rather than
equality, and if so, through what specific actions and mechanisms? How can
the transformative potential of such institutions be fully harnessed for
overcoming inequality?

If you would like to submit a paper proposal, please read all the materials
