This article presents the challenges experienced by mobility-impaired graduates wearing a modern academic gown and their practical needs for an ideal academic gown. The study includes interviews with five mobility-challenged graduates from different universities in South Africa. …

It is important to explore this knowledge because it becomes the groundwork for further k…
Toward intersubjective ethics in community-based research
In this paper, we introduce intersubjective ethics as an approach to ethical practice in community-based research. We argue for the need to think of ethics as an evolving process that is inseparable from the research endeavor, and that dwells on relationships and dialogs among researchers and community members. At the core of our approach is “intersubjectivity” and the related notions of “critical subjectivity” and “critical intersubjectivity”; c…

Specifically, there is sparse evidence on how the internet mediates ideas and representations of voluntourism. Building on prior research in the information search field, we examine the online representation of voluntourism in South Africa – a popular…
