Defining the Need to Not Be Defined
Lyric poetry and legal discourse, as Barbara Johnson noted decades ago, grapple with the same single question: what is a person? But whereas Johnson concluded that lyric abetted legal constructions of personhood, this article argues for their meaningful divergence with respect to trans personhood. Juxtaposing government-issued identity documents with poetry by contemporary trans writers, I explore the poetic mode I call transtextuality, which eme…
‘The Water We Need’
Basic services are a critical nexus point for the realisation of sustainable cities. In South Africa, the failure to realise adequate and equitable basic services cements apartheid and colonial power relations, reproducing violent inequalities and relations of unsustainability. Water inequality has a disproportionate impact on women, who are often responsible for the labour involving water use. Thus, approaches to urban water management that cent…

Healthy Eating as a New Way of Life
Findings from the present study contribute to the literature in highlighting the importance of internal motivation and autonomy for health behaviours. Findings may inform the development of healthy eating interventions. Encouraging autonomy, fostering values aligned with a healthier diet, and helping individuals establish daily habits is likely to support change
Seeking Sanctuary
A recent uptick in international trade in donkey hides has sparked intense concern among social activists. Several campaigns have been launched in attempts to protect donkeys and to ensure their wellbeing in response to what various groups have labeled a “crisis.” As a result, donkeys have increasingly been given homes in animal sanctuaries that focus specifically on the rescue and rehabilitation of farm animals. This paper explores the ways in w…

The Pluriversity for Stuck Humxns
A Novel Association between YKL-40, a Marker of Structural Lung Disease, and Short Telomere Length in 10-Year-Old Children with Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia
Extremely preterm infants are born with immature lungs and are exposed to an inflammatory environment as a result of oxidative stress. This may lead to airway remodeling, cellular aging and the development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Reliable markers that predict the long-term consequences of BPD in infancy are still lacking. We analyzed two biomarkers of cellular aging and lung function, telomere length and YKL-40, respectively, at 10 y…
A peaceful revenge
This is an account of the emancipatory struggle that faces agents who seek to change the oppressive social structures associated with neo-liberalism. We begin by ‘digging amongst the bones’ of the calls for resistance that have been declared dead or assimilated/co-opted by neoliberal theorists. This leads us to unearth, then utilize, Paulo Freire’s Pedagogy of the Oppressed, Steve Biko’s Black Consciousness and Shiv Visvanathan's ideas; which are…
Gender, experience and knowledge in adult learning
In pursuit of social justice and deepening scholarship of adult learning, Elana Michelson invites us to revisit basic understandings of the ‘experiential learner’. As she asks on the back cover: ho
