"High Stakes, High Hopes tracks the building of urban theorizing in a partnership between a South African township community organization, grappling with the legacies of (post)apartheid inequality, and a university tasked to research and teach the city. The book reflects on what was at stake in the partnership and its creative, and at times, conflictive, evolution. It explores what changed in learning when teaching and assessment moved in and between the university classroom and township streets and ordinary people's households. It engages ways academic research and assessment were reshaped when framed in neighbourhood questions and commitments, and what was reoriented in urban theorizing when Civic activism and township struggles were recalibrated as sites of valid knowledge-making.
