Abstract
Psychosocial and auto/biographical perspectives have much to contribute to build better understanding of the interplay of complexity, diversity and democracy within the dynamics of a neo-liberal world. This chapter focuses on how democratic community learning can be created, using a case study of one post-industrial city in the English Midlands. Questions are asked about the role of universities in struggling communities and how resources of hope can be created in new social movements despite the absence of government and its agencies and the politics of austerity.
