This book focuses on transformative teaching-learning practices in social sciences that promote equity, capabilities, and wellbeing. It presents learner-centred methods and strategies that foster critical thinking, creativity, and active engagement, while highlighting the importance of indigenous and culturally relevant knowledge. The book explores key goals for fostering equity and wellbeing in social science disciplines, including psychology, education, sociology, social work, developmental studies, and economics, through four major sections: Knowledge, Voice, and Transformative Lens; Transformative Teaching-Learning in Practice; Structural Inequalities and Institutional Constraints; and Ecosystem for Equity and Wellbeing in Higher Education. It offers practical insights and actionable strategies from various disciplines aimed at enhancing the educational experience in higher education by empowering learners to reach their full potential. This volume is an essential resource for educators at the undergraduate and graduate levels in the social sciences. It provides insights into pedagogical approaches, including dialogic teaching, game-based and experiential learning, AI-supported creation, and wellbeing and equity-oriented support to address inequity, participation, and institutional constraints in higher education. It is also invaluable for policymakers and administrators in educational institutions who want to reform and improve higher education structures and pedagogies for equity and wellbeing.
