STRUCTURAL EMBEDDING // KNOWLEDGE BY EXPERIENCE // HIGHER EDUCATION
We strive to ...
Incorporate Lived Experience & Experiential Knowledge
in Social Studies in Higher Education.
You can find an overview
of the project here!​
Why do we do it?
Knowledge & expertise from 'the inside'
Knowledge by experience starts and grows from the lives of people in vulnerable situations, which are shaped by structural inequalities and challenges in society. Their insights and expertise is seen as third form of knowledge
Higher Education & Social Justice
We believe that Higher Education is a place for the development of democracy, citizenship, human rights and social justice. Especially in the field of Social Studies lies a social commitment to participation and inclusion of those voices that are not heard, seen or valued.
How do we do it?
Co-teaching activities
We believe dat coteaching is an important way to learn students on how to work with lived experience. Even more, coteaching has an influence on professionalisation of staff memebers and the curricula of social studies.
​
You can discover here how we worked with coteaching.
Student support
We believe that student support should acknowledge lived experience.
So, we experimented with five different student support formats.
You can take a look right here on what we learned.
Institutional change
What does it truly mean to embed experiential knowledge? How do you do it while acknowledging the different power positions? What are key elements to start and continue the institutional change from the inside?
