The idea of common good in education has become topical. In 2015, UNESCO suggested considering education as a “common good” in order to differentiate knowledge from a mere commodity.
How can markets and states in both developed and developing countries promote knowledge as a common good? Professor Flores-Crespo will report on a research project which drew on ideas from the capability approach, to focus on the “quality” of institutional processes, and human agency, rather than merely on output indicators.
He will present the results of empirical analysis across nine higher education institutions in Mexico, to provide insight into how specific communities generate knowledge as a common good.
This event will be particularly useful for researchers, students and policymakers.
