    …he Caribbean. The human development and capability approach (see https://hd-ca.org/) has played a central role in revealing – theoretically and practically – the deficiencies of a conception of development that gives priority to the access to economic resources over other aspects that are important for the expansion of people’s opportunities to live a good life. In conjunction with others, this approach has contributed to the increased adoption by…

    …rocesses. It further requires attention more broadly not only to university-community but also to South-North asymmetries of power in knowledge production Hence, in this special issue, we aim to initiate a provocative conversation of challenging methodological lines that participatory practices have experienced in our capability research area. The point is to bring theoretical and empirical insights – especially from the South – to re-think the li…
