Profile: Jorge Sousa, PhD (2005)
Adult Education and Community Development
Jorge's practical and academic projects use community-based approaches which result in significant social value.
His research falls within the context of the intersection between community development and adult education, including community governance models, participatory decision-making, and housing policy and practice.
Currently, Jorge is working with stakeholders interested in converting public housing into a tenant managed arrangement. The objective is to develop learning strategies to institute a process that can account for the needs of citizens and their housing community.
