This chapter explores some of the problems of contemporary higher education (HE) and discusses how a more participatory perspective on knowledge and meaning-making can inform some of the changes that are needed in the world. It offers a model of inquiry as a way of stimulating and supporting the process of transformation that is needed in HE. It highlights the importance of multi stakeholder participatory processes, to understand the system dynamics that hold the status quo in place, and to change them.
