Higher Education, a Time for New Decisions:
Inclusion and Integration in Cross-Sector Work
Keywords:
higher education, social innovation, integration, inclusion and systems changeAbstract
The accumulation of events and decisions that have shaped the current reality of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) opens an opportunity for these institutions to reimagine how they deliver their proposition to society. Knowingly, collaboration and partnerships as cross-sector work have been considered essential to address the complexities of our most pressing societal problems. Leadership at different levels of these institutions are exploring and supporting the co-design of alternative solutions and social change through civic engagement. However, the participation of members of marginalized communities at the co-creation level is still scarce. This paper draws from examples of global social innovation and systems change in the HEI context. It suggests that the inclusion and integration of the perspectives of practitioners and community members with the closest proximity to society’s most pressing challenges presents a mutual opportunity, potentially promoting more effective innovation and social impact.
