  • Yusef Waghid

摘要

It is argued that teaching practices are deeply intertwined with the aspects of a living African philosophy of higher education. By incorporating fictional scenarios, ethical debates, provocative narratives, simulations, and empathetic engagements, this chapter provides an education that is not only intellectually rigorous but also socially relevant and responsive. This approach ensures that students are not just recipients of knowledge but active participants in their learning processes and emerging leaders equipped to address the challenges facing their communities and beyond. In short, through ubuntu, students and teachers become deliberative beings who are deeply concerned with one another’s humaneness and the pursuit of a socially responsible community.
