Abstract

This chapter aims to discern the importance of reflexive competency, power, and political action by academic staff as a professional responsibility and as a requi-rement of their academic engagement in the study and practice of the social and solidarity economy (SSE). This responsibility is what led the authors to design, and argue the case for, a European project which aimed to gain knowledge and understanding of the nature of a people-centred economic approach, its origins and practices. A key concept of this reflexive competency is Aristotle”s phronesis: having a disposition towards criticality and taking action as a result. Academic staff have the power to question orthodoxy (Hayward, 2010), to deconstruct and reconstruct paradigms related to historical, cultural, economic, political and environmental contexts. Phronesis allows the realignment of ontological and deontological principles in order to shape this reflexive competency. A pedagogic model based on phronesis is presented here with the aim of cultivating reflexive competency among those involved in universities seeking to create value and the capacity to reinvent themselves in such a way as to reshape the meaning and ena-ble a renewed dignity of the human condition as a driver of social transformation. Keywords: Reflexive Competency, Phronesis, Power, Academic Responsibility, Transdisciplinarity, Dialogical.
