PAR has since its inception been focused on breaking the monopoly of academic knowledge, and transforming and democratizing learning and knowledge creation processes. It is a striving for knowledge democracy in making visible excluded knowledge systems requiring transformative educational and innovation approaches which supports critical reflection on experiences to enable rethinking of dominant perspectives. We invite contributions which link transformative education and democratizing knowledge creation to the evolving praxis of PAR, exploring the role of knowledge, learning and the co-creation of knowledge in the deepening of democracy - in and across social movements, communities, economy, civil society organizations and universities. The consciousness-raising and transformative potential of PAR and Education benefit from the legacy of Orlando Fals-Borda, Paulo Freire, Marx's theory and trascendance of alienation, Gramsci, among others. The main purpose in this session is to seek effective answers to the ongoing onslaught of the cultural war (the battle for the minds) waged by the likes of the Banons and Mercers of the world using the latest ICT and populist marketism via Cambridge Analytica and similar agencies of right wing propaganda, which lie behind the rise of trumpism, bolsonarismo and fascism in our times.
