2 - The University as a Site of Knowledge: The Role of Basic Research
Revue de l’enseignement supérieur en Afrique,
Vol. 4 No 2 (2006): Revue de l’enseignement supérieur en Afrique
Résumé
Cet article procède à une extrapolation des tensions entre University of Dar es Salaam Academic Staff Assembly (UDASA) et l’administration de cette même université, afin de plaider pour la liberté académique en Tanzanie en particulier et en Afrique, en général. Il s’inspire également de deux déclarations clés concernant les libertés académiques en Afrique : la Déclaration de Dar es Salaam sur les libertés académiques et la responsabilité sociale des universitaires (1990) ainsi que la Déclaration de Kampala sur les libertés intellectuelles et la responsabilité sociale (1991), dans le but d’évoquer le rôle de la recherche fondamentale au sein de l’université, en tant que lieu de production de la connaissance. L’auteur affirme que la quête d’une certaine liberté académique ne conserve tout son sens que si les universités renouvellent leur engagement envers le bien public. Ce n’est qu’en méritant la confiance publique, en leur qualité de tisserands de la toile sociale et de garantes des grandes valeurs éthiques de l’humain que les universités pourront réclamer leur position au sein de la société et du monde, de façon plus large.
