African Higher Education Summit 2015 - Blog 1 - African Minds presence

African Higher Education Summit 2015, Dakar, Senegal

I'm feeling very proud to be associated with African Minds, CHET and JSAA which has a fantastic presence at the Summit. My own work is featured in the Special Summit Issue of UWN with the article "Re-thinking Student Engagement's Role in Democratisation"
which is a 'teaser' from my chapter in the book "Knowledge Production & Contradictory Functions in African Higher Education" edited by Nico Cloete, Peter Maassen and Tracy Bailey. The book is available for free in its e-copy. It is launched at the Summit. In addition, African Minds publisher is also taking the Journal of Student Affairs in Africa  to the Summit to show the work we do in that sector ( - I am a member of the Editorial Exec and the journal manager - ) and the forthcoming book "Student Representation in Higher Education Governance in Africa" is also prominently advertised at the summit (see blog post of August 2014).
