‘Talking-My-Walk’ for Emotionally Disturbing Memories
Academics Remaining Upbeat Amidst the Higher Education Polycrisis Context
This article maps the authors’ artful inquiry at the interface of poetry, artmaking, academic work, and the higher education polycrisis, asking, “What does our artful knowing make visible about academic work in the higher education polycrisis context?” “How do we poetically come to acknowledge our response-ability as academics working with and beyond the polycrisis?” “What does our co-creative artmaking produce as positive resistance?” and “Why d…
Collaboratively Stepping Back as a Method in an Arts-Inspired Self-Study to Move Forward in Professional Learning for Social Change
We are a team of two South African teacher educator researchers at a higher education institution in the province of KwaZulu-Natal. Each of us has distinct research niches, and stem from different racial and cultural backgrounds. Our common interest in and commitment to social change through education led to this collaboration where we explored ways of extending the learning we had acquired whilst completing our doctoral research projects. In our…
Dialogic Memory-Work as a Method to Explore the 'Afterlife' of our Self-Study Doctoral Research
We are teacher educators and researchers in South Africa. In our doctoral studies we used self-study methodologies to improve our professional practice in relation to the challenges of teaching and learning in the South African HIV and AIDS context. This article demonstrates how we, as teacher educator-researchers, explored the 'afterlife' of our doctoral research. We used self-selected exemplars from our own doctoral theses as research artefacts…
Listening with our eyes
Integrating HIV and AIDS into the academic curriculum is not engaged with vigorously enough in South African higher education institutions, for several reasons, ranging from lack of interest to complaints of belabouring the issue of HIV and AIDS, especially from the biomedical perspective. Through such integration the academic curriculum could be a key space and engine for persuading change and abating the effects of HIV and AIDS in higher educat…
Using Hiv&Aids Statistics In Pre-Service Mathematics Education To Integrate Hiv&Aids Education
In South Africa, the HIV&AIDS education policy documents indicate opportunities for integration across disciplines/subjects. There are different interpretations of integration/inclusion and mainstreaming HIV&AIDS education, and numerous levels of integration. Integration ensures that learners experience the disciplines/subjects as being linked and related, and integration is required to support and expand the learners' opportunities to attain ski…
Using metaphors for integrating HIV and Aids education in mathematics curriculum in pre‐service teacher education
In adopting the Education White Paper 6. Special Needs Education: Building an Inclusive Education and Training System of 2001, the South African education system mandates teachers and schools to address the various intersecting factors that act as barriers to learning for all learners. Using drawings and metaphors with a group of pre‐service teachers, this paper focuses on a set of such factors: HIV and AIDS. The exploratory classroom inquiry rep…
