Her family roots are in Willowfountain\, Pietermaritzburg and eMbonisweni in White River. She spent parts of her childhood in Swaziland and Zimbabwe. Her research interests are in 19th century Xhosa writers and their record of precolonial African histories\, legends and mythologies. She is also a member of the National Research Foundation (NRF) Board. Outside of academia she writes children’s books. \nCLICK HERE TO RSVP \nENQUIRIES ONLY\nShakila Thakurpersad | email – thakurpersads@ukzn.ac.za \nABSTRACT \nUsing the current #BlackLivesMatter protests as a starting point\, in this talk I want to explore the limits of the current wave of decolonial and decolonisation discourse as they apply to the African situation – 60 years since the first country gained independence. I will argue that the current academic trends in decolonisation\, while helpful in describing some of the deep structural problems facing South Africa\, its universities and society\, cannot lead us towards a liberated Africa. I will argue that the current trends are not well located in the long traditions of Black Africa’s education philosophies which are rooted in a strong moral ethic notion of education without assimilation. I will argue that in fact\, today’s decolonisation trend is begging for white acceptance and affirmation with its focus on symbolic victories around statues and correcting racist behaviour online. I propose that African liberatory education should build on the older lineages of building independent Black institutions as advanced by the likes of JL Dube\, as well as the organic education of our grandmothers and community. I call the lineages of JL Dube the ‘umbilical’ tradition – that roots us in our own context while pushing us to believe we can outcompete the rest of the world that has dominated us. \n  \n\nShare this:\n Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n Email\n \n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n More\n Share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n WhatsApp\n Like this:Like Loading...

The coronavirus pandemic has facilitated the largest expansion of state power in this century. Governments around the world have suspended economic activities and civil liberties in an effort to curb the spread of COVID-19. What effect this has had on citizens’ views on democracy? \nThis webinar presents newly-published research from the Institute for Justice and Reconciliation’s (IJR) Research and Policy programme\, namely the Afrobarometer and South African Reconciliation Barometer (SARB) surveys. The two nationally representative surveys\, conducted in 2018 and 2019 respectively\, reveal that South Africans were largely dissatisfied with how democracy was functioning and disengaging from certain channels of political participation well before the introduction of the national lockdown. Why are South Africans frustrated with their democracy and what can be done to restore confidence in democracy? Do high levels of poverty\, inequality and unemployment influence public opinion on the state of governance and democracy? \nThe speakers will present their findings and discuss how the introduction of the national lockdown might affect public opinion on democracy in South Africa. Finally\, by examining the trends of public opinion from both Afrobarometer and the SARB surveys\, the panellists will assess possible means to restore public confidence in democracy. Participants are encouraged to pose questions before or during the webinar. The webinar will be live-streamed on IJR’s Facebook page. \nClick Here to register for this event \n\n\n\nDate\n: Thursday\, 13 August 2020\n\n\nWhen\n: 13h00-14h00 (CAT)\n\n\n\n\nShare this:\n Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n Email\n \n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n More\n Share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n WhatsApp\n Like this:Like Loading...

In-person registration will also be available on the day of the event. \nDETAILED SCHEDULE \nThinking Gender 2020 will focus on feminist\, queer\, trans\, anti-carceral\, transnational\, and intersectional approaches to sexual violence.  \nRecent #MeToo mobilizations against high-profile predatory sexual abusers including Harvey Weinstein\, R. Kelly\, and Jeffrey Epstein have heightened public conversation around sexual violence. While important contributions have challenged dominant approaches to sexual violence\, much of it has remained caught in legalistic\, carceral\, or criminal justice discourses that emphasize the punishment of individual actors to the exclusion of envisioning alternative definitions of repair and justice. Such dominant approaches center evidence and proof\, and offer only the punishment of individual perpetrators as remedy\, often in ways that exacerbate existing structural inequalities. Decades of scholarship and activism have demonstrated the inefficacy of such punitive models to curb sexual violence as well as the ways in which they exacerbate the policing of already marginalized communities. \n\nShare this:\n Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n Email\n \n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n More\n Share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n WhatsApp\n Like this:Like Loading...

The first dialogue will bring together the three branches of the state – the Executive\, the Legislature and the Judiciary – as well as religious organisations (through the South African Council of Churches – SACC)\, other civil society organisations (through Abahlali baseMjondolo)\, business organisations (through Business Leadership South Africa – BLSA)\, and labour (through the major union federations). Issues arising from the event will be taken forward into further discussions. \nThis first Dialogue will centre on assertiveness within the framework of the Constitution. Two inter-\nrelated questions will frame the conversation. First\, how do the three branches of the state\, religious bodies\, civil society\, business organisations\, labour\, and people not affiliated to any formal grouping\nappropriate for themselves the key values underpinning the Constitution (human dignity\, achievement of equality\, advancement of human rights and freedoms\, non-racialism\, and non-sexism)\, asserting their rights while recognising their responsibilities towards others? For many it is unconscionable to think that constitutional values are compromised or that they need to be debated and potentially replaced. For others\, these values are not values but the result of an elite compact which has ignored the voices of many. There needs to be a space where these views can be expressed and discussed in a way that will take the conversation forward as opposed to entrenching groups into mutually exclusive\, binary positions. \nThe second question is: How can all who live in South Africa be assertive in holding the three branches\nof the state accountable for delivering on the fundamental rights in the Constitution? \nThis Dialogue\, and the series to follow\, seeks to bring key role-players and other parts of the body\npolitic into a constructive dialogic space. \nWhere: Old Assembly\, Parliament\, Cape Town\nWhen: 24 October 2019\, 17h30 for 18h00-21h00\nRSVP: Click here to RSVP \n\nShare this:\n Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n Email\n \n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n More\n Share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n WhatsApp\n Like this:Like Loading...

In commemoration of his legacy of leadership and the contribution that youth across South Africa played in the struggle against apartheid\, the IJR hosts an annual memorial youth lecture. This year\, the lecture is hosted in partnership with the Ashley Kriel Skills Development Centre based at Bonteheuwel Secondary School. \nThis year’s lecture under the theme Dying to Be Men: A New Generation of Manhood aims to explore how ideas of masculinity and manhood informs gender relations.

It will encourage intellectual collaboration and production from within and/or focused on Africa and the African Diaspora. It will also contribute to contemporary discourse on religion\, the State\, and Global Politics\, in order to illuminate Africa’s position in global religions\, international policy\, and national development and identity formation. Participants are expected to critically question and hopefully set aside misleading representations and narratives on African religious experience. \nIn the past\, scholars of African religion and politics have engaged topics such as missionary activities\, colonialism\, and the spread of religion in Africa\, as well as questions of cultural survival or defeat. In Western societies\, policies and narratives regarding religion are often produced under the assumption that the Church and the State remain fundamentally and ideologically separate. Meanwhile\, the connections between religion and state are becoming increasingly relevant worldwide. The global community is being confronted with violent terrorism\, which is often tied to organized religion\, wrongly or rightly by the media\, the State\, and international government and non-governmental organizations. Therefore\, in the contemporary geopolitical landscape\, state policymakers and scholars of politics\, state formation\, international relations\, and globalization can hardly ignore issues of religion\, raising questions of religious freedom\, tolerance\, violence\, and oppression. In light of the oversimplified\, popular rhetoric surrounding religion and state policy\, scholars and policymakers are tasked to think conceptually and empirically about the role of religion in the state and in international affairs. \nWhereas Western scholarship has necessarily focused on the tensions between religions and secularisms at the State and international level\, and on producing responses to religious terrorist movements such as ISIS and Boko Haram\, there is also the need to explore alternative indigenous religions and spiritualities in Africa and the African Diaspora\, to uncover local expressions and practices of religion in Africa and their impact on State policy\, social organization\, and/or global connections\, and to analyze recent developments by African states to foster or hamper religious movements and understandings in Africa. It is also useful to consider the Diasporic movement of religious ideas and practices across national boundaries. Approaching these issues from within the African and African Diasporic context\, it is important to reconsider hegemonic understandings of religion\, as well as hegemonic understandings of nationalism\, policy\, and development. \nThe conference will attempt to push the boundaries of Western epistemology and engage African knowledge as a means of working through popular assumptions and contentious debates about the past\, present\, and future of Africa\, African religions\, spiritualities\, and secularisms\, and the connections between local\, national\, and global politics. While many participants will present in English\, we encourage presentations in other languages\, most notably in Ajami\, Arabic\, and French. \nA cross-disciplinary approach is necessary for understanding the entanglement of religion\, the State\, and global politics in Africa and the African Diaspora. Therefore\, this conference welcomes paper submissions from a variety of disciplines\, including but not limited to history\, political science\, sociology\, religious studies\, philosophy\, economics\, international relations\, peace and conflict studies\, literary and cultural studies\, communication and language studies\, education\, management sciences\, and area studies. \nSUBMISSION INFORMATION \nSubmission is open now. Proposals for paper presentations\, panels and/or performances should include a 150-200-word abstract and title\, as well as the author’s name\, institutional affiliation/address\, email address(es) and telephone number. All proposals for presentation and eventual publication must be the original work of the author/artist. The deadline for the submission of abstracts is April 1\, 2019. All abstracts should be sent to tofac2019@gmail.com and also copied to tofac2019@babcock.edu.ng. \n\nShare this:\n Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n Email\n \n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n More\n Share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n WhatsApp\n Like this:Like Loading...
