Hari Prasad Sacré
Hari Prasad Sacré obtained a doctoral degree in educational sciences from Ghent University with his dissertation entitled Reading Illiteracy: A pedagogical study about cultural (il)literacy in Flanders. His research discusses new forms of illiteracy arising in displaced communities forcefully travelling imperial borders and settling in Flanders and Brussels. Drawing on a postcolonial direction in critical pedagogy, integrating the work of Gayatri Chakrabarty Spivak and Henry Giroux, he explores the possibilities for emancipation from cultural illiteracy.
As a postdoctoral member of the research group, he focuses on multilingualism, emancipation and literacy in higher education and transnational social work. His work on higher education is concerned with the multilingual and cultural emancipation of minority students. His work on transnational social work inquires how adult adoptees and families of origin are exercising agency and claiming emancipation.
