Postdocs, Gender and Precarity in South African Universities
The neoliberal turn in higher education has socially constructed the public university as a private corporate entity, with students being the fee-paying clients entitled to the curriculum goods of academia. This neoliberal turn has also socially constructed the precarious postdoctoral research fellows (postdocs) who are instrumental in helping the neoliberal university achieve its ratings, rankings, and grants/subsidies, amongst other achievement…
Beyond neoliberal policies
Attracting the next generation of academics is important for ensuring that the higher education system is sustainable and continues to produce the much-needed graduates who will respond to the growing needs of the knowledge economy. Deeply rooted in the decolonial and transformation struggles in the Global South, academic staffing and recruitment questions are central to representation and diversity in the academy. In this article, I critique wha…
Towards a critical re -conceptualization of the purpose of higher education
The 2015–2016 South African higher education students’ movement proved historical for our country in bringing to our dinner tables: issues of higher education transformation and decolonisation; institutional culture(s); curriculum reform; the need to foreground and make inclusive assessment in education; the coloniality in our knowledge production, and more. Influenced by the emergence of the student movements and the critique they have brought t…
Gazing at South African higher education transformation through the potential role of the Wesleyan quadrilateral
The 2015–2016 South African higher education student movements evoked critical conversations regarding the extent to which institutions of higher learning have transformed into democratic and inclusive spaces. One of the key gaps in this field is the paucity of research that explores the potential role of theology in steering the direction of transformation in South African higher education system. Through a Wesleyan approach, the paper argues th…
Ubuntucurrerein the academy
Universities in the Global South continue to be confronted with the ethical demands for transformation and decolonsiation. In this paper, we discuss the epistemic possibilities for transforming and decolonising curricula. Building on the work of Pinar and Le Grange, we propose the notion of Ubuntu currrere as an emancipatory alternative to the traditional top-down, hierarchical approach to designing, teaching, and assessing curricula, research an…
Views from the margins
A significant amount of South African literature on academic development often focuses on the ideological and theoretical shifts that have occurred within the academic development field across different periods in the country – tracing different phases within the field, broadly termed, ‘academic support’, ‘academic development’ and ‘higher education development’. One of the gaps that have been identified in this literature is often the silence re…
Genopolitics
South African higher education institutions have been grappling with the challenges of transformation and decolonisation as a result of the 2015-2016 student protests calling into focus issue of access (both formal and epistemological), belonging, social justice, transformation and others. One of the key sites for this struggle for transformation has been curriculum and the notion of relevance in responding to the development of social reality. P…
