Emerging Epistemologies: Challenges for Higher Education

By Sandra Gomes and Manuel Tavares

The result of various studies and empirical investigations, this book, divided into thirteen chapters, aims to be a set of reflective proposals on the new epistemologies emerging in Latin America. The empirical research carried out over the last five years (2013-2017) and published in various national and international journals has centred on the new models of higher education created by the Lu s In cio Lula da Silva and Dilma Roussef governments, as opposed to the traditional elitist and anti-democratic models of European and North American origin. For this reason, some of the studies presented focus on the institutional matrices of some of the new universities (above all, the Federal University of the Southern Frontier and the Federal University of the ABC Paulista), the challenges of social, cultural and epistemological inclusion, teacher training, the pedagogical models adopted and higher education excellence.
