Abstract
Creating knowledge democracy in South Africa: The role of communities of practice
Highlights
Knowledge is created through research, through the experience of the wise, through the act of surviving in the world, and is represented in text, poetry, music, political discourse, social media, speeches, drama and storytelling
The separation between lay and scientific knowledge dates to the creation of Oxford University and other early tertiary education institutions in Europe some 500 years ago
Nowotny et al.[8] describe this as a shift from generating ‘merely’ scientifically reliable knowledge towards more ‘socially robust’ knowledge. It is for these types of complex, cross-cutting problems, that universities can most contribute to creating knowledge democracy through the co-generation or co-production of knowledge
