This innovative volume critically examines the intersection between democracy, education and communication in African educational domains. Providing a platform for multidisciplinary research, it advances scholarship in democratic citizenship education in African higher education through methodological and theoretical innovation.The book discusses the extent to which explicit or subtle communication frameworks that underlie policymaking, institutional culture, teaching and learning experiences in African higher education significantly engender democratic mind habits and practices in students as citizens. Chapters in the book examine how communication frameworks in pedagogy ought to navigate power imbalances between students on the one hand and the institution and academics on the other. The book also examines how (dis)empowering higher education policies are and whether they contribute to democratic equality.This book will be of great interest to academics, researchers and post-graduate students in the fields of education, democratic citizenship education, communication, and African studies.

This book focuses on understandings of higher education in relation to notions of decoloniality and decolonization in southern Africa.

This book expands understanding of cosmopolitan education that has the potentialto cultivate deliberative pedagogical encounters in universities. The authorsargue that cosmopolitan education in itself is an act of engaging with strangeness,otherness, difference and inclusion/exclusion. What follows is the engenderingof inclusive human encounters in which freedom and rationality – guidedby co-operative, co-existential and oppositional acts of resistance – can be exercised.The chapters centre around the enactment of universal hospitality, unconditionalengagement, difference, intercultural learning, democratic justice andopenness to develop a robust and reflexive defence of cosmopolitan education.This book will appeal to scholars of cosmopolitan education as well as democraticand inclusive education.
