It challenges the notion that universities are the sole creators of knowledge, highlighting the recognition of knowledge capital within communities and other sectors. The book advocates for moving beyond academic hierarchies by integrating diverse knowledge systems into research, teaching, and community engagement. It also examines how media, language, and communication influence public discourse, cultural identity, and social cohesion; how culture and community initiatives drive sustainable development; and how gender dynamics shape access to and participation in knowledge production. Through case studies and best practices, it demonstrates how interdisciplinary collaborations and inclusive knowledge systems can drive innovation, equity, and meaningful social change.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJuliet Nthuna Ramohai\u003c\/strong\u003e is Associate Professor and Head of the Centre for General Education, Durban University of Technology, South Africa.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaleshoane Rapeane-Mathonsi\u003c\/strong\u003e is Associate Professor in the Department of Media, Language, and Communication at the Durban University of Technology, South Africa.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSam Erevbenagie Usadolo\u003c\/strong\u003e is Associate Professor, Course Coordinator, and Research Representative in the Department of Media, Language, and Communication, Durban University of Technology, South Africa.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSiphephelo Siyabonga Shezi\u003c\/strong\u003e is Lecturer at the Centre for General Education, Durban University of Technology, South Africa.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e27 November 2026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer Nature Switzerland\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePalgrave Macmillan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9783032394163\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e444\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52370126209164,"sku":"9783032394163","price":179.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783032394163.jpg?v=1790168250","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783032394163","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
