Abstract

This presentation describes the background to the project 'Development discourses: higher education and poverty reduction in South Africa'; outlines the discourse of 'ideal-typical' professionalism as a resource; defines 'professionalism'; considers professionalism for the public good and the capability approach; and applies this to the South African higher education system looking at the curriculum and pedagogy within the universities. An example of a human development professional capability is presented.
