The book offers deep insights into the ways in which public higher education is both a private and public good, and it provides significant conclusions pertinent to anyone who works in – and cares about – universities.\n", + "\n", + "\n", + "\n", + "\n", "## December 2017\n", "\n", "### The Social Dynamics of Open Data\n", @@ -993,26 +1009,26 @@ "\n", "\n", "\n", - "### One World, Many Knowledges: Regional experiences and cross-regional links in higher education\n", + "### One World Many Knowlegdes\n", "\n", - "\"cover\n", + "\"cover\n", "\n", - "Editor: Peter Vale\n", + "Cape Town: African Minds, 2016\n", "\n", - "Editor: Tor Halvorsen\n", "\n", - "Cape Town, South Africa: African Minds, 2016\n", "\n", - "[https://doi.org/10.47622/978-0-620-55789-4](https://doi.org/10.47622/978-0-620-55789-4)\n", "\n", + "### One World, Many Knowledges: Regional experiences and cross-regional links in higher education\n", "\n", + "\"cover\n", "\n", + "Editor: Peter Vale\n", "\n", - "### One World Many Knowlegdes\n", + "Editor: Tor Halvorsen\n", "\n", - "\"cover\n", + "Cape Town, South Africa: African Minds, 2016\n", "\n", - "Cape Town: African Minds, 2016\n", + "[https://doi.org/10.47622/978-0-620-55789-4](https://doi.org/10.47622/978-0-620-55789-4)\n", "\n", "\n", "\n", @@ -1101,32 +1117,32 @@ "\n", "\n", "\n", - "### Effectiveness of Anti-Corruption Agencies in East Africa: Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda\n", + "### The Civil Society Guide to Regional Economic Communities in Africa\n", "\n", - "\"cover\n", + "\"cover\n", "\n", - "Author: Open Society Initiative for Southern Africa (OSISA\n", + "Author: Morris Odhiambo\n", "\n", - "Cape Town, South Africa: African Minds, 2016\n", + "Author: Rudy Chitiga\n", "\n", - "[https://doi.org/10.47622/9781928331148](https://doi.org/10.47622/9781928331148)\n", + "Author: Solomon Ebobrah\n", "\n", + "Cape Town, South Africa: African Minds, 2016\n", "\n", + "[https://doi.org/10.47622/9781920677961](https://doi.org/10.47622/9781920677961)\n", "\n", "\n", - "### The Civil Society Guide to Regional Economic Communities in Africa\n", "\n", - "\"cover\n", "\n", - "Author: Morris Odhiambo\n", + "### Effectiveness of Anti-Corruption Agencies in East Africa: Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda\n", "\n", - "Author: Rudy Chitiga\n", + "\"cover\n", "\n", - "Author: Solomon Ebobrah\n", + "Author: Open Society Initiative for Southern Africa (OSISA\n", "\n", "Cape Town, South Africa: African Minds, 2016\n", "\n", - "[https://doi.org/10.47622/9781920677961](https://doi.org/10.47622/9781920677961)\n", + "[https://doi.org/10.47622/9781928331148](https://doi.org/10.47622/9781928331148)\n", "\n", "\n", "\n", @@ -1194,15 +1210,6 @@ "\n", "## May 2015\n", "\n", - "### Leadeship and Management\n", - "\n", - "\"cover\n", - "\n", - "Cape Town: African Minds, 2015\n", - "\n", - "\n", - "\n", - "\n", "### Twenty Years of Transformation\n", "\n", "\"cover\n", @@ -1221,6 +1228,15 @@ "\n", "\n", "\n", + "### Leadeship and Management\n", + "\n", + "\"cover\n", + "\n", + "Cape Town: African Minds, 2015\n", + "\n", + "\n", + "\n", + "\n", "## October 2014\n", "\n", "### Higher Education in Portuguese Speaking African Countries\n", @@ -1238,15 +1254,22 @@ "\n", "## June 2014\n", "\n", - "### Systemic School Improvement Interventions in South Africa: Some Practical Lessons from Development Practioners\n", + "### Perspective of Students Affairs\n", "\n", - "\"cover\n", + "\"cover\n", "\n", - "Editor: Godwin Khosa\n", + "Cape Town: African Minds, 2014\n", "\n", - "Cape Town, South Africa: African Minds, 2014\n", + "Perspectives on Student Affairs\n", + "By M Speckman & M Mandew (eds)\n", "\n", - "[https://doi.org/10.47622/9781920677374](https://doi.org/10.47622/9781920677374)\n", + "The goal of Perspectives on Student Affairs in South Africa is to generate interest in student affairs in South Africa.

      Collaboration in Development: A South African Heritage Godwin Khosa

      -

      South Africa is under-capitalising on its rich ways of doing business. One such way, the focus of this book, is collaboration.

      -

      The collaboration approach should be promoted to the same extent that the Japanese have entrenched and exported their ‘small incremental improvement’ Kaizen approach. There are many such underexplored indigenous ways of doing business in Africa. Where improvement is required in relation to development and organisational performance, the need is not so much building new capacities as discovering and implementing more strategic and effective utilisation of existing indigenous ones. And there is no need to cringe when African culture is used to inform science.

      -

      This book uses history, interviews and documentary evidence from South Africa to weave together a story, arguments and lessons about collaboration.

      Out of Place: An Autoethnography of Postcolonial Citizenship Nuraan Davids

      -

      Out of Place offers an in-depth exploration of Nuraan Davids’ experience as a Muslim ‘coloured’ woman, traversing a post-apartheid space. It centres on and explores a number of themes, which include her challenges not only as a South African citizen, and within her faith community, but as an academic citizen at a historically white university. The book is her story, an autoethnography, her reparation.

      -

      By embarking on an auto-ethnography, she not only tries to change the way her story has been told by others, transforms her ‘sense of what it means to live’ (Bhabha, 1994). She is driven by a postcolonial appeal, which insists that if she seeks to imprint her own way of life into the discourses which pervade the world around her, then she can no longer allow herself to be spoken on behalf of or to be subjugated into the hegemonies of others.

      -

      The main argument of Out of Place is that Muslim, ‘coloured’ women are subjected to layers of scrutiny and prejudices, which have yet to be confronted. What we know about Muslim ‘coloured’ women has been shaped by preconceived notions of ‘otherness’, and attached to a meta-narrative of ‘oppression and backwardness’. By centring and using her lived experiences, the author takes readers on a journey of what it is like to be seen in terms of race, gender and religion – not only within the public sphere of her professional identities, but within the private sphere of her faith community.Out of Place: An Autoethnography of Postcolonial Citizenship Nuraan Davids

      Teaching and Learning for Change: Education and Sustainability in South Africa Edited by Ingrid Schudel, Zintle Songqwaru, Sirkka Tshiningayamwe and Heila Lotz-Sisitka

      -

      Like many national curricula around the world, South Africa’s curriculum is rich in environment and sustainability content. Despite this, environmental teaching and learning can be challenging for educators. This comes at a time when Sustainable Development Goal 4 via Target 4.7 requires governments to integrate Education for Sustainable Development into national education systems.

      -

      Teaching and Learning for Change is an exploration of how teachers and teacher educators engage environment and sustainability content knowledge, methods, and assessment practices – an exposition of quality education processes in support of ecological and social justice and sustainability.

      -

      The chapters evolve from a ten-year research programme led out of the DSI/NRF SARChI Chair in Global Change and Social Learning Systems working with national partners in the Fundisa for Change programme and the UNESCO Sustainability Starts with Teachers programme. They show the integration of education for sustainable development in teacher professional development and curricula in schools in South Africa. They reveal how university-based researchers, teachers and teacher educators have made theoretically and contextually reasoned choices about their lives and their teaching in response to calls for a more sustainable world in which education must play a role.

      -

      Teaching and Learning for Change will be of interest to education policymakers in government, advisors and educators in educational and environmental departments, NGOs and other institutions. It will also be of interest to teacher educators, teachers and researchers in education more generally, and environment and sustainability education specifically.

      Going to University: The Influence of Higher Education on the Lives of Young South Africans By Jennifer M. Case, Delia Marshall, Sioux McKenna, Disaapele Mogashana

      -

      Around the world, more young people than ever before are attending university. Student numbers in South Africa have doubled since democracy and for many families, higher education is a route to a better future for their children. But alongside the overwhelming demand for higher education, questions about its purposes have intensified. Deliberations about the curriculum, culture and costing of public higher education abound from student activists, academics, parents, civil society and policy-makers. We know, from macro research, that South African graduates generally have good employment prospects. But little is known at a detailed level about how young people actually make use of their university experiences to craft their life courses. And even less is known about what happens to those who drop out. This accessible book brings together the rich life stories of 73 young people, six years after they began their university studies. It traces how going to university influences not only their employment options, but also nurtures the agency needed to chart their own way and to engage critically with the world around them. The book offers deep insights into the ways in which public higher education is both a private and public good, and it provides significant conclusions pertinent to anyone who works in – and cares about – universities.

      Twenty Year

      The book is written to be accessible to the general reader as well as being informative and an essential resource for the specialist reader. It sheds light on aspects of how a provincial department operates and why and with what consequences certain decisions have been made in education over the last 20 turbulent years, both nationally and provincially.

      There has been no attempt to fit the book’s chapters into a particular ideological or educational paradigm, and as a result the reader will find differing views on various aspects of the Gauteng Department of Education’s present and past. We leave the reader to decide to what extent the GDE has fulfilled its educational mandate over the last 20 years.

      Many of the lessons in this field that remain under-recorded to date relate to the step-by-step processes followed, the relationship dynamics encountered at different levels of the education system, and the local realities confronting schools and districts in South Africa’s rural areas. Drawing on field data that is often not available to researchers, the book endeavours to address this gap and record these lessons.

      It is not intended to provide an academic review of the systemic school improvement projects. It is presented rather to offer other development practitioners working to improve the quality of education in South African schools, an understanding of the some of the real practical and logistical challenges that arise and how these may be resolved to take further school improvement projects forward at a wider district, provincial and national scale.

      Seeking Impact and Visibility: Scholarly Communication in Southern Africa By Henry Trotter, Catherine Kell, Michelle Willmers, Eve Gray and Thomas King

      -

      African scholarly research is relatively invisible globally because even though research production on the continent is growing in absolute terms, it is falling in comparative terms. In addition, traditional metrics of visibility, such as the Impact Factor, fail to make legible all African scholarly production. Many African universities also do not take a strategic approach to scholarly communication to broaden the reach of their scholars’ work.

      -

      To address this challenge, the Scholarly Communication in Africa Programme (SCAP) was established to help raise the visibility of African scholarship by mapping current research and communication practices in Southern African universities and by recommending and piloting technical and administrative innovations based on open access dissemination principles. To do this, SCAP conducted extensive research in four faculties at the Universities of Botswana, Cape Town, Mauritius and Namibia. SCAP found that scholars:

      -

      carry heavy teaching and administrative loads which hinder their research productivity remain unconvinced by open access dissemination find it easier to collaborate with scholars in the global North than in the rest of Africa rarely communicate their research with government engage in small, locally-based research projects that are either unfunded or funded by their universities produce outputs that are often interpretive, derivative or applied due, in part, to institutional rewards structures and funding challenges do not utilise social media technologies to disseminate their work or seek new collaborative opportunities. All of these factors impact Africa’s research in/visibility at a time when scholarly communication is going through dramatic technical,legal, social and ethical changes.

      -

      Seeking Impact and Visibility shares the results of SCAP’s research and advocacy efforts. It not only analyses these four universities’ scholarly communication ecosystems, but illuminates the opportunities available for raising the visibility of their scholarship. It concludes with a series of recommendations that would enhance the communicative and developmental potential of African research.

      Higher Education Financing in East and Southern Africa By Pundy Pillay

      +

      This nine-country study of higher education financing in Africa includes three East African states (Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda), five countries in southern Africa (Botswana, Lesotho, Mozambique, Namibia and South Africa), and an Indian Ocean island state (Mauritius). Higher Education Financing in East and Southern Africa explores trends in financing policies, paying particular attention to the nature and extent of public sector funding of higher education, the growth of private financing (including both household financing and the growth of private higher education institutions) and the changing mix of financing instruments that these countries are developing in response to public sector financial constraints. This unique collection of African-country case studies draws attention to the remaining challenges around the financing of higher education in Africa, but also identifies good practices, lessons and common themes.

      Wildland Fire Management Handbook

      Wildland

      Fire has been used as a land-use tool for controlling the environment since the early evolution of humanity. Fire continues to be used as such by people living in different ecosystems across sub-Saharan Africa. Consequently, the rich biodiversity of tropical and subtropical savannas, grasslands and fire ecosystems is attributed to the regular occurrence and influence of fire. However, wildfires have been harmful to ecosystems, economies and human security. This is due to increasing population pressure as well as increased vulnerability of agricultural and residential lands.

      The Wildland Fire Management Handbook provides scientific guidelines for maintaining and stabilising ecosystems and for state-of-the art fire prevention and control. The handbook features contributors from diverse backgrounds in wildland fire science and fire management. It deals with topics ranging from fire behaviour and controlled burning to fire ecology and the effects of burning on Cape fynbos. In addition the Wildland Fire Management Handbook includes fire regimes and fire history in West Africa. Thus, the handbook is groundbreaking in its furthering of sub-Saharan Africa’s capacity for fire management and consequent preservation of the environment. The Wildland Fire Management Handbook is an important resource for strategic sustainable land-use planning, disaster management and land security. The handbook is well suited to the needs of wildland fire management practitioners, scientists, academics, and students of universities and technical schools. Thus, environmental consultants, conservationists, ecologists and those dealing with wildland fire disaster prevention, preparedness and mitigation will be interested in the book.

    What do we expect when we say something to someone, and what do they expect when they hear it? When is a conversation successful? The book considers a wide set of two-person conversations, and a bit of game theory, to show how conversational statements and their interpretations are governed by beliefs. Thinking about beliefs is suitable for communication analysis because beliefs are well-defined and measurable, allowing to differentiate between successful understandings and their less successful counterparts: misunderstandings.

    This book contains a unique collection of Tibetan oral narrations and songs known as Shépa, as these have been performed, recorded and shared between generations of Choné Tibetans from Amdo living in the eastern Tibetan Plateau. Presented in trilingual format — in Tibetan, Chinese and English — the book reflects a sustained collaboration with and between members of the local community, including narrators, monks, and scholars, calling attention to the diversity inherent in all oral traditions, and the mutability of Shépa in particular.

    Collaboration in Development: A South African Heritage Godwin Khosa

    -

    South Africa is under-capitalising on its rich ways of doing business. One such way, the focus of this book, is collaboration.

    -

    The collaboration approach should be promoted to the same extent that the Japanese have entrenched and exported their ‘small incremental improvement’ Kaizen approach. There are many such underexplored indigenous ways of doing business in Africa. Where improvement is required in relation to development and organisational performance, the need is not so much building new capacities as discovering and implementing more strategic and effective utilisation of existing indigenous ones. And there is no need to cringe when African culture is used to inform science.

    -

    This book uses history, interviews and documentary evidence from South Africa to weave together a story, arguments and lessons about collaboration.

Wie lässt sich die drängende Notwendigkeit politischer Haltung und kritischer Praxis mit einem wissenschaftlichen Einsatz verbinden, der die Eigengesetzlichkeiten des Digitalen ernst nimmt?
