PROFESSOR DAVID WARDLE

Suetonius Life of Augustus

Suetonius: Life of Augustus (Oxford University Press, 2014) is a comprehensive, historical, historiographical and literary commentary in English on the biography of Rome’s first emperor, Augustus, that was written in the second century AD. It is the first scholarly commentary to be accessible to readers without any knowledge of Latin or Greek through its use of English lemmata, while the new translation remains faithful to the original Latin. It is the third volume by David Wardle in Oxford University Press’s prestigious Clarendon Ancient History Series.

The biographer and scholar, C. Suetonius Tranquillus, who rose from relative obscurity in what is modern day Algeria to serve at the head of the Roman civil service, used his knowledge of the job of an emperor to create an evaluative framework which he employed for the first biographies of Rome’s emperors. This commentary examines the complex picture that Suetonius drew, showing how the biographer used official records, contemporary propaganda and the reactions of ordinary people to evaluate Augustus, and assesses the reliability of the account that he generates. Augustus completed the overthrow of Rome’s traditional form of government and initiated a form of hereditary monarchy, but, nonetheless, emerged with a reputation as a statesman. Suetonius’ analysis reveals what Romans believed about how an autocrat should exercise power. This commentary crucially examines Suetonius’ work not just as a repository of facts, but as a literary artefact carefully constructed by its author

Reviewers have described Suetonius. Life of Augustus as “likely to be the first port of call on the subject for many years to come”, “an invaluable resource”, “absolutely invaluable” and “un ouvrage en tous points remarquables, qui constitue de loin le meilleur commentaire de la Vie d’Auguste à ce jour” [transl.: ‘a work that is remarkable in every respect, which constitutes by far the best commentary on the Life of Augustus to this day’].

10 MERITORIOUS PUBLICATION AWARD

11 THE UNIVERSITY CREATIVE WORKS AWARD

The University Creative Works Award recognises the production of outstanding and/or influential creative works (art works, performances, productions, compositions, architectural design) that make a scholarly contribution.

Professor Hendrik Hofmeyr Second Symphony – The Elements (Composition)

Hendrik Hofmeyr is Professor and Head of Composition and Music Theory at the South African College of Music, UCT. He has been described as the most performed and commissioned composer of classical music in South Africa, and has won several national prizes and awards, as well as three international competitions, among them the prestigious Queen Elisabeth of Belgium Competition.

Hofmeyr’s Second Symphony – The Elements was premiered in 2017 by the Cape Philharmonic Orchestra under the direction of Conrad van Alphen. The work explores the notion postulated by the ancient Greeks that everything in the universe is constituted of four basic elements, namely air, earth, water and fire. As in mediaeval metaphysics, the elements are also treated as symbols of human conditions. For Hofmeyr, the challenge was to find musical materials that corresponded not only to the physical, but also to the emotional, psychological and symbolic connotations of these elements, and to weld them into a work which could be appreciated also at the level of absolute music.

The result is an essay in the creation of monumental structure from the smallest particles of the musical fabric, mirroring the concept of physical and spiritual universes evolved from the elements. This is achieved by creating a strikingly original musical language in which a myriad micro-activities accrue to form vast textural and architectural complexes. While such practices were not uncommon in atonal works, their deployment in an expanded tonal context, and in conjunction with symphonic thematicism, is extremely novel.

12 THE UNIVERSITY CREATIVE WORKS AWARD (CONTINUED)

The symphony is usually regarded as the apex of instrumental writing in any composer’s oeuvre, and this, Hofmeyr’s first purely orchestral symphony, is the first major symphony to emerge in South Africa in more than 30 years. The work, while demanding both in terms of execution and appreciation, was well received by the public and critics, and was described by the Cape Times as a most important addition to the South African symphonic repertoire.

Associate Professor Svea Josephy Satellite Cities (Solo Exhibition)

Svea Josephy is awarded the Creative Works Award in 2018 for her solo exhibition, Satellite Cities. Satellite Cities was held at the Wits Art Museum, Johannesburg, 19 January – 6 March 2016 and co hosted by the WITS City Institute.

Satellite Cities was a curated exhibition including an impressive body of photographs accompanied by text panels and a catalogue. The exhibition arises from a substantial research project over a number of years. Josephy investigated parallels in the naming of ‘twin towns’ in South Africa and other parts of the world – for instance Delft in Cape Town and Delft in The Netherlands. Initially focused on a colonial past, these photographs have more recently connected different locations, in South Africa and abroad, as sites of struggle, and of war, liberation and reconstruction, for example Kosovo in Eastern Europe and Kosovo in the Western Cape. In Satellite Cities Josephy presents large colour photographs that explore what these connections mean to the people in the places that adopted these names. The photographs are often displayed as diptychs to draw out parallels, similarities and differences between events taking place in the war zones and similar conditions in life circumstances, facilities and infrastructure in the places in South Africa at the time.

In Satellite Cities, Svea Josephy has developed a body of original creative work, which demonstrates a distinctive contribution to the field of visual art production. This exhibition engages with contemporary art, producing artifactual research, which connects the construction of land, place and identity and what these might mean, particularly in relation to lens based practice in contemporary South African art.

The exhibition generated critical and peer review, media interest, excellent visitor attendance from educational institutions and the general public, several walkabouts, two public workshops, an academic seminar and peer reviewed journal article. In working closely with the WITS City Institute, a research centre for Critical Urbanisms, the exhibition occupied an interdisciplinary space - both within the academic arena and in the area of engaged scholarship.

13 THE UNIVERSITY CREATIVE WORKS AWARD (CONTINUED)

Dr Sara Matchett Womb Of Fire (Theatre Production)

Conceptualised by Rehane Abrahams & Sara Matchett Written & Performed by Rehane Abrahams Directed by Sara Matchett Designed by Craig Leo Sonic-Scape by Lukhanyiso Skosana

The nomination of Womb of Fire for a UCT Creative Arts Award was inspired by the work’s insistence on addressing how violence in South Africa, over centuries, continues to play itself out on women’s bodies. Set against an episode from the Indian epic, The Mahabharata, the play interweaves personal narrative and contemporary realities with the lives of two women from the founding years of the Cape Colony to interrogate the Womb of Fire that birthed South Africa. The play follows Grote Katrijn van Pulicat’s (1681-­1683) journey across India to Batavia and then to Cape Town as the first female bandit slave; it then explores the briefly brutal life of Zara (1648-­1671), a Khoekhoen servant woman who was violently punished posthumously by the VOC for the crime of suicide. Womb of Fire looks at the power of the performing female body to challenge the pornography of Empire, in the process decolonising and retrieving itself. The play reaches back and forward across time to reassemble the dismembered body, allowing it to speak.

In terms of creative research, Womb of Fire attempts to translate the post-slave­ and post-colonial­ South African female body through personal performance practice. A philosophical interrogation of the translation of cultural memory through performance is traced through the work. Additionally, the production offers a pragmatic investigation that addresses translation both as an embodied activity of recalling erased memory and as a recuperation of the dis-­membered post-­slave /post-colonial­ female body. Through reflecting on an example of personal performance practice, Womb of Fire employs the performer and playwright’s own post-­slave body/post-­colonial body as the locus of intersection between the private and the political, the biological and archival/historical.

Sara Matchett interrogates translation as an embodied process that explores the body as a site for generating images for purposes of performance making. As such her method of performance making, in this context, addresses how the post-­slave body practically translates the archival narratives, and in particular how these intersect with the biological/personal. Through an investigation of breath experienced as an embodied element that is sensed somatically by the performer, Matchett interrogates the potential of breath to act as a catalyst for activating and translating memories, stories, and experiences held in the body of the performer.

29 DISTINGUISHED TEACHER AWARD

The Distinguished Teacher Award, given once only to an individual, recognises teaching at any or all levels by a member of the faculty that has made a significant and lasting impression on students.

Previous recipients in the Faculty of Law have been:

1982 D B Hutchison (Roman Dutch & Private Law) 1983 D M Davis (Commercial Law) 2005 M Paleker (Private Law)

The following member of the Faculty of Law has been chosen for this award in 2018:

Associate Professor Jacqueline Yeats Commercial Law

A/Professor Jacqueline Yeats lectures in the Department of Commercial Law. She teaches a number of postgraduate courses, although she is best known for the teaching of Corporation Law to the intermediate year LLB class. During her teaching career, Jacqui (as she is affectionately known) has introduced several innovative and pedagogically sound teaching and learning interventions to assist students to grasp course content and to excel in summative and formative assessments.

One of her teaching innovations, intended to enhance and nurture creative legal thinking, student collaboration and peer to peer teaching, is an ‘extra credit’ video clip design project. Using only their mobile phones, legal knowledge and creativity, the LLB Corporation Law class has annually produced original, entertaining and educational video clips which present established legal principles and cases in a completely new light – extending even to dramatic and musical interpretations of technical, complex cases decided more than 50 year ago. Every year the best Law Clips are screened and awarded the floating trophy at a light-hearted ‘Law Oscars’ event. In 2016, inspired by the learning experiences of a deaf student in her LLB class, she conceptualised a project to create a core lexicon of South African sign language terminology for deaf law students. Jacqui states:

‘I observed in class that the content of my lectures was conveyed to [a] student by an interpreter who converted the spoken words into sign language in real time translation. Whilst watching this exchange, I became concerned that there was not adequate legal terminology in the sign language lexicon to properly convey the content and the student and his interpreter confirmed this... I am attempting, as a long to medium-term project, to develop a UCT Law Faculty – based sign language lexicon for deaf LLB students to facilitate their learning experience . . . My objective is that this resource will ultimately be made freely available to all deaf law students in South Africa to assist them with their studies.’

30 DISTINGUISHED TEACHER AWARD (CONTINUED)

Of the many positive student endorsements of Jacqui’s teaching, the following encapsulates her attitude and talent as a teacher:

‘Jacqui is an amazing lecturer. She has made a subject that I find very dry a lot better than I ever expected it to be. She is relatable, honest and funny. She is also very caring and she makes me feel that she is genuinely concerned with our well-being. I also think that her “Law-Clip” initiative is a fun and innovative way of encouraging students to engage with the course material outside of lectures.’

There he was exposed to cadaver based surgical teaching at the Royal College and encouraged to present research at their national meetings. On returning to Groote Schuur Hospital in 2001 as UCT joint staff he developed his passion for postgraduate teaching and training of young orthopaedic surgeons. He immediately reorganised the specialist academic program. This program generates four orthopaedic surgical specialists a year.

With his interest in spine surgery, he developed a training unit which received international AOSpine recognition with regular foreign observers coming to learn on our challenging cases. In 2005 he attracted external funding and created the country’s first spine fellowship where he continues to train qualified ortho- and neurosurgeons in the spine sub- discipline, drawing nationally and internationally. To date he has produced 21 spine surgeons who have improved the level of spine care in the region, his fellows now running the Tygerberg and Pietermaritzberg units amongst others, establishing services as far away as Namibia, Kenya, Cameroon and Zimbabwe. He continues to support his fellows by visiting their units to collaborate on further training and running of courses to raise the level of local care. At a recent spine congress dinner 17 of these fellows from the continent assembled to celebrate this program, many now instituting their own training programs – resembling a very positive Ponzi scheme.

Robert Dunn changed the way surgery was traditionally taught – “see one, do one, teach one” – to the use of regular cadaver based labs where trainees are taught complex surgical procedures in a safe environment before attempting on patients. His spine cadaver course and live animal-based surgery courses are well recognised, the former being run annually for 16 years improving skills of 24 existing specialists per year.

51 DISTINGUISHED TEACHER AWARD (CONTINUED)

He was appointed as HOD to the Pieter Moll and Nuffield chair in 2012. He recognised the need to re-focus the undergraduate MBChB orthopaedic teaching on primary musculoskeletal care. To improve access to learning, under his leadership a YouTube channel UCTeach was created. The age old case report requirement was abandoned and students were expected to produce seven minute videos on all aspects of orthopaedic surgery as part of their block mark, the best videos being uploaded to YouTube for others to learn from. The exam was changed to an OSCE based system, which was revolutionary in surgery at the time, testing practical skills and driving learning.

As a surgeon, most of Robert Dunn’s teaching is around patients whether that is in the clinic, over an operating table or clinical case discussions. He prides himself in “walking the talk”, attracting many locals and international surgeons who wish to learn from his operative care of challenging paediatric and adult deformity cases. With the clinical experience gained from the overwhelming clinical load, Robert Dunn is frequently invited to teach at international meetings where he flies the UCT / GSH flag.

He has a strong surgical philosophy of applying the best skills the world has to offer but appropriate to the local environment, to empower local surgeons to cope and flourish despite our challenges.

PRADEEP NAVSARIA (in absentia) DEPARTMENT OF SURGERY

Professor Pradeep Navsaria is a trauma surgeon and lecturer at the Faculty of Health Sciences. Among other qualities is his willingness and selflessness to repeatedly give of his time to improve the education of students. Should there be a gap in the skills training of students, he is, without fail, there to fill it. The UCT Surgical Society – with a base of 600 students – attest to his willingness to assist. According to his students, he is a very versatile teacher. From formal lectures to large groups of students, to smaller, hands-on skills tutorials, he can adapt to the situation and bring out the best in students’ knowledge. Pradeep leads by example and teaches students to be calm, rational, and methodical in the face of overwhelming challenges. His teaching is always relevant to the real world and he is clearly invested in producing young doctors who will be able to cope with the challenges of managing the high burden of trauma in South African medical practice. Providing education within different, often stressful and time-constrained environments is testimony to his ability and versatility.

Pradeep believes that teaching requires openness to change; therefore, he continually examines his teaching techniques and experiments with ways to become a more effective teacher. He strives to create an active, collaborative learning environment filled with curiosity and inquiry in which all participants are both teachers and learners and where students can discover knowledge rather than be passive recipients. A dynamic and influential communicator, he possesses the rare gift of being able to make complex subjects understandable. In addition, he is a humble and approachable person – with a great sense of humour – who loves to share his extensive knowledge with others, especially his students.

Unsurprisingly, Pradeep also takes a direct role in influencing student’s career development. It is this thoughtfulness to enhance students’ careers that contributes to making him a worthy recipient of this award. He makes an effort to get to know students on a personal level, asking after their wellbeing and their families. It is his open-door policy that allows students to feel welcomed and comfortable in turning to him for advice – even on a personal level.

His stated views are that medicine is about compassion, service, altruism, and trustworthiness; values that continue to guide the profession. It is these values that shape his teaching and underpin his belief that the future generation of doctors and surgeons need to see these values in practice. It is clear from the testimony of many of those who have worked with him, both locally and internationally, and from those who have studied under him that Pradeep Navsaria is indeed a role model and a most deserving recipient of this year’s UCT Distinguished Teacher’s Award.

The following member of the Faculty of Health Sciences has been elected to a fellowship:

TANIA DOUGLAS

Tania Douglas is Professor of Biomedical Engineering in the Faculty of Health Sciences and holds the prestigious South African Research Chair in Biomedical Engineering & Innovation. She also serves as Director of the URC- accredited Medical Imaging Research Unit. Her qualifications include: a BSc (Eng) degree in electronic engineering from UCT; a master’s degree in biomedical engineering from Vanderbilt University in Nashville, USA; and a PhD in bioengineering from the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland. Six years ago Professor Douglas earned an Executive MBA from the Graduate School of Business at UCT where she was awarded the Gold Medal.

53 FELLOWSHIP (CONTINUED)

For the past 20 years Professor Douglas’s research has focused on major public health problems in South Africa for which she has developed innovative instruments and techniques for computer-assisted diagnosis. The first set of techniques applied image and statistical shape analysis to the characterisation of the facial phenotype associated with fetal alcohol syndrome, for which our country has the world’s highest incidence. This work has been published in leading international engineering journals such as Medical & Biological Engineering & Computing and IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging, and, based on extensive citations, her research group is now recognised as one of the world’s leaders in the analysis of facial morphology.

South Africa has one of the highest burdens of tuberculosis (TB), with about 1% of the population developing active TB each year. The challenge is early diagnosis and Professor Douglas has made seminal contributions in automated microscopy for the detection of TB. This latter work was funded by a research grant from the National Institutes of Health in the USA, for which she was the principal investigator, and enabled her to build and test a highly regarded “smart microscope”. She is currently building on this work to develop a smartphone application to assess patient response to the tuberculin skin test. Working with Lodox Systems, Professor Douglas has pioneered the application of low radiation dose imaging for the diagnosis of bone and soft tissue disorders, raising her international profile and that of her Medical Imaging Research Unit, while also enabling Lodox to implement her algorithms in their products. Recent work involving this imaging modality includes novel ways of measuring bone mineral density.

Professor Douglas’s recent work has emphasised the social context of technological innovation and the importance of end-user engagement. With a new postgraduate programme in health innovation, she has created an ecosystem in which biomedical engineering and social context are identifying novel solutions for improved health. Professor Douglas has launched and is founding editor of an open-access electronic journal, Global Health Innovation, and she is also engaged in capacity development for academic staff and postgraduate students from other African countries, with funding support from the National Institutes of Health and the European Commission (EC).

Before joining UCT in 2000, Professor Douglas was a post-doctoral fellow at the Japan Broadcasting Corporation in Tokyo where she worked on face-recognition algorithms. At UCT she was subsequently awarded research fellowships by: the International Institute for Theoretical Physics in Trieste, Italy; the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation in Germany; and the Erasmus Mundus programme of the EC. She has received the UCT Fellows’ Award for Young Academics, and Researcher of the Year awarded by IEEE Women in Engineering. Professor Douglas is an elected Fellow of the South African Academy of Engineering, an elected Member of the Academy of Science of South Africa, and last year was elected a Fellow of the International Academy for Medical and Biological Engineering.

68 DISTINGUISHED TEACHER AWARD

The Distinguished Teacher Award, given once only to an individual, recognises teaching at any or all levels by a member of the faculty that has made a significant and lasting impression on students.

Previous recipients in the Faculty of Science have been:

1996 M D Picker (Zoology) 1998 I Barashenkov (Mathematics & Applied Maths) 2002 A Buffler (Physics) S Oldfield (Environmental & Geographical Science) 2003 D Gammon (Chemistry) 2004 B Davidowitz (ADP in CHED & Chemistry) 2008 J O’Riain (Zoology) 2011 G Smith (Chemistry) 2014 J Gain (Computer Science) S Wheaton (Physics) 2015 A West (Biological Sciences) 2016 D Erwin (Mathematics & Applied Maths) M Lacerda (Statistical Sciences) J Shock (Mathematics & Applied Maths)

The following member of the Faculty of Science has been chosen for this award in 2018:

Mr Gregor Leigh Physics

Gregor Leigh enjoys legendary status among the literally thousands of first-year engineering students whom he has taught during a UCT career spanning 20 years. According to his head of department, “I doubt that there has been such a sustained intervention by a single lecturer in the history of the modern UCT.”

The senior lecturer in Physics says that “more than any other role teaching defines who I am.” Rather than the imposition of any particular content, Gregor Leigh describes his mission as “the awakening and development of cognitive skills”, as is reflected in his teaching of explicit problem-solving strategies and also the importance that he places on matters of the meta-curriculum.

Mr Leigh’s Physics lectures are highly interactive, compact performances, strewn with perfectly-timed and engaging demonstrations of physical phenomena (often performed at some danger to his own well-being!). Through the use of carefully designed multiple choice questions and an innovative in-class polling system, students are able to self-assess, while also providing Mr Leigh with essential feedback, allowing him to tailor his interventions for the remainder of the lecture.

According to one colleague, “the life and times of Gregor Leigh serve as a case study in what can be achieved through a love of your discipline, a love of teaching, mutual respect between instructor and students, and raw stamina.” So appreciated are his efforts, that one student wrote in a course evaluation, “I wish he had not taught me so well, that I might fail and return to his class next year,” while another wrote “I have never admired an attitude towards teaching so much, I want to do better just to do his teaching justice!”

69 FELLOWSHIP

1998: GA Ekama 2005: MG Alexander 2012: V Watson 2013: AE Lewis 2015: S Harrison E van Steen 2017: A Zingoni

The following member of the Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment has been elected to a fellowship:

Professor Aubrey Mainza Chemical Engineering

Aubrey Mainza has made his mark in the field of minerals processing in particular focussing on grinding and classification. The extraction of valuable minerals from ore bodies is an energy intensive process. In particular, grinding of these materials can consume large amounts of energy and fundamental insights in these processes will result in significant energy savings.

Aubrey Mainza has focused his research on understanding the particulate flow of particles and slurry in the mills due to the impact this has on both throughput and grinding efficiencies in the mills. The strength of his research comes from the combination of applied and fundamental research in both comminution and classification. The research on how to improve grinding efficiencies in tumbling mill lead to the development of a single methodology that is applied in configuring operation set-points to maximise productivity by either achieving higher throughputs for low grade mines or finer grind for finely disseminated ore bodies or achieving a reduced specific energy consumption which reduces operating costs per tonne of material mined. The grind curve has been adopted as a standard optimisation methodologies by many mining companies. Research from the particle tracking system has provided insights on the dominant breakage mechanisms within the milling systems that are studied.

Aubrey Mainza has also contributed significantly to the development and description of hydrocyclones, which are important devices in the separation of coarse and fine particles in the mining flowsheet. He has contributed to the area of classification by developing models for use in design and optimisation of hydrocyclones. Most models applied consider the behaviour of an average density particle and the description is limited to dilute suspensions. Professor Mainza and co-workers have developed a general model based on average density but can also handle suspensions ranging from very dilute to concentrated slurries with a reasonably good accuracy and can be applied for both design and optimisation. Further, the model has been extended to capture the behaviour of different density particles in the hydrocyclone which is important for separation of minerals involving minerals with significantly large density difference.

70 FELLOWSHIP (CONTINUED)

Applying the multi-component hydrocyclone model which captures the behaviour of different density components is useful in minimising recirculation of fine particles in the grinding circuit due to their high density which results in huge energy saving achieved by avoiding to overgrind the already fine particles. The important in developing this model was understanding the influence of the air-core for different hydrocyclone operating conditions. The work performed in this area of research lead to the development of a semi-empirical air-core model for hydrocyclones of different sizes. In additional to the hydrocyclone model Professor Mainza and co-workers have developed a model for use in designing and optimisation of high frequency fine screens. The model on classification was developed using a combination of data from applied experimental tests and computational experiments performed using computational fluid mechanics as a tool to provide insights on flow regimes within the hydrocyclone. Studying the circuit comprising milling and classification as an integrated process has resulted in significant energy savings and also improvement on many process plants that Professor Mainza and his co-workers have been involved.

The following members of the Faculty of Science have been elected to a fellowship:

Professor Michael Meadows Environmental and Geographical Science

Michael Edward Meadows is Professor in the Department of Environmental and Geographical Science at the University of Cape Town. His research on the Quaternary palaeoenvironments of southern Africa has made signficant contributions to an understanding of the changing climate and associated environmental conditions in the region. Meadows is internationally recognised for his research based on the palaeoecological analysis of wetland sediment cores across southern Africa, extending northwards to Malawi and including Botswana and Namibia in addition to South Africa. His research over more than three decades, much of which focuses on the Western Cape, is frequently cited and forms a key body of work that has progressively resolved the nature and scale of environmental changes in the region over the last glacial-interglacial cycle.

In all, Meadows has published more than 160 peer-reviewed journal articles and book chapters that cover a wide range of subjects within the broader discipline of physical geography, including Quaternary science, palaeoecology, geomorphology and landscape change. In addition, he has a monograph and two substantial edited works along with several special issues of high-ranking journals. Meadows has been instrumental in promoting research into two key localities in particular; our understanding of environmental changes at Verlorenvlei on the west coast, and the Wilderness Lakes on the south coast, has been especially important and recognized through the award of two major internationally-funded research projects on which he is co-Principal Investigator. In recent years, in collaboration with Professor Brian Chase, a former postdoctoral student, Meadows has been active in extending the range of palaeoenvironmental proxies to include the rich potential of Hyrax midden deposits.

Meadows has worked with a wide range of collaborators that include his own graduate students as well as more senior scientists from Germany, France and the United States and is also acclaimed for his insightful reviews and syntheses of current knowledge on southern African Quaternary palaeoenvironments. His work is widely cited (Google Scholar H-index = 33) and, notably, his jointly-authored synthesis paper in Earth-Science Reviews (Chase and Meadows, 2007) has been cited more than 370 times. There have been some especially noteworthy findings, not least the paper published with one of his doctoral students that documents the first unequivocal evidence for the existence ofa Younger Dryas climate anomaly in the southwestern Cape (Quick et al., 2011). In recent years, Meadows has played an important role in stimulating and facilitating international researchers to work in South Africa; these efforts have added very substantially to the range of approaches and level of expertise in the Quaternary research community.

There have also been some important contributions to the understanding of land degradation and land use change, and to the history of Quaternary science in the southern Africa. On a broader scale, Meadows’ work is of global importance in its contribution to our understanding of longer-term climate dynamics. The Fifth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (2013) describes the importance of palaeoclimatic reconstructions in understanding natural fluctuations in earth’s climate and atmosphere, providing a baseline for evaluation of anthropogenic influences and climate change. Relatively little work of this kind has been done in the southern hemisphere; Meadows’ papers form an important part of this corpus. Meadows has been an outstanding and inspiring research director and, as Head of Environmental & Geographical Science for 16 years, has seen the department rise to be one of the top 50 Geography departments globally. Indeed, EGS is one of only two departments at UCT to enjoy such a high international ranking. He has also been centrally involved in promoting his discipline and has occupied, or occupies, important leadership positions in international organisations in the field, in particular serving as the Vice- President (2008-2010) and Secretary-General and Treasurer (2010-2018) of the International Geographical Union. He is an elected Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society and of the Royal Society of South Africa and has held visiting Professorships at the University of Cambridge and the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Such appointments and achievements testify to his substantial international standing in his field.

72 FELLOWSHIP (CONTINUED)

Professor Edgar Pieterse Architecture, Planning and Geomatics

Professor Pieterse was appointed as the founding director of the African Centre for Cities, ACC, (a UCT Signature Theme) in 2007. This was an appointment as a full professor in the School of Architecture, Planning and Geomatics and as a DST/NRF chair (in Urban Policy).

Since his appointment Prof Pieterse has been primarily responsible for fostering the emergence of the ACC as the most prominent and recognised centre for urban research on the African continent, and with global recognition. This has been achieved not only through building the ACC but, most importantly, through his own academic and policy leadership. He is now widely recognised as a leading urban scholar both in terms of understanding and analysing the nature of current urban change and also forms of intervention which can address key urban equity and sustainability issues.

He has a highly impressive personal publication record involving 12 edited and one co-authored book and a monograph, and 56 book chapters and 19 articles in mostly prominent peer-reviewed journals since 2007. His historical journal publishing record is much longer, starting in 1993. His CV also shows a large number of conference invitations to speak at venues and events around the world. The focus of his work has been on understanding cities from a global south perspective and taking into account the contextual particularities of urban change (particularly on the African continent). He has developed a synthetic framework for understanding the multi-dimensional and multi-sectoral nature of cities and change, and using this to shape policy intervention so as to move cities towards a more equitable and resilient future. His 2008 monograph was an early establishment of this framework which he has continued to build on. As his CV indicates he is now moving on to explore concepts and implications of ‘adaptive urbanism’.

His publication and public speaking achievements are reflected as well in a number of very high profile (global and continental) invitations to play research advisory roles and to serve on committees working on future urban policy. His role in the UN Sustainable Development Goals (11) process has been noteworthy; and in South Africa’s National Development Plan. He has played important teaching roles as well: he is a Senior Fellow to the University of Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL), and has recently helped to set up a new masters programme in Southern Urbanism at ACC, on which he teaches.

As a prominent and highly respected urban scholar Professor Pieterse is worthy to be nominated to the College of Fellows.
