The Practices of Community-Based Research in the Post-Apartheid University Dissertatio HOW’S YOUR RESEARCH GOING TO HELP US?: THE PRACTICES OF COMMUNITY-BASED RESEARCH IN THE POST-APARTHEID UNIVERSITY DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Daniel G. Oliver, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2004 Dissertation Committee: Professor Susan R. Jones, Adviser Approved by Professor Nancy Ettlinger Professor Leonard Baird __________________ Adviser College of Education ABSTRACT The purpose of this research was to examine the practice of university engagement at one South African university. I have examined one feature of engagement: community-based research in the Greenveld region of South Africa. Three research questions framed this study: 1) How do academic research and community service interact?; 2) What are the particular ways that context complicates this interaction?; and 3) What meaning does reciprocity have for researchers and residents? How is reciprocity practiced? How is reciprocity experienced? In this study, I examined how a host of relationships (e.g., researcher/participant, administrators, grantors) and contexts (e.g., institutional, local, regional, national) complicated the practice of community-based research. Using interviews, observations and documents, I examined the practices of community-based research at a rural, South African research facility. In speaking with researchers and administrators affiliated with the facility, and local residents often affected by facility projects, a nuanced image of community-based research emerged. Local residents believed that given the resources at the disposal of the facility and the poverty in the area, community-based researchers should offer tangible goods and services. In contrast, researchers had diverse preferences and practices regarding their use of community-based research, local participation and reciprocity, often providing very little in terms of direct service or tangible goods. ii Amid these diverse opinions and preferences were contexts that further complicated the practice of community-based research. First, the facility was located in one of the poorest regions of South Africa. When overlaid with apartheid, the result was an area suffering from many social, political and economic problems. Second, the institutional context of the university complicated the practice of community-based research. While a post-apartheid culture worked to popularize outreach and engagement, many at the university did not fully embrace such practices. In the end, it is suggested that community-based research be viewed as a social practice. When focused on practice and experience, community-based research begins to appear more diverse than characterized in the literature. Approached this way, community-based research shows the imprint of context (e.g., local, regional, national, institutional) and individual preferences (e.g., perceptions of reciprocity and participation). iii DEDICATION For Barbara Oliver, in memoriam iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This project would have been impossible without the kindness of many people. For material support, thanks to the Sonkin-Bergman-Wasserman Fund and the Dong Ho Chai Fund. In South Africa, I have abiding appreciation for Innocent Ayipheli, Phillip Botha, Alan and Xana McCauley, Fortune Mhlanga, and Joseph Nkosi for offering their homes and friendship. The faculty and staff of the Facility and the men and women of Greenveld were always welcoming, even at the hands of often ridiculous probing. Particular thanks to Mapule for her wealth of local knowledge, help with translation and friendship. In Columbus, I offer sincere appreciation to my graduate committee. My adviser, Dr. Susan Jones, provided encouragement and patience (and patience) throughout this project. Dr. Nancy Ettlinger provided a perspective from geography that I have benefited from tremendously. Finally, thanks go to Dr. Leonard Baird who came on to the project much later than the rest of us but provided wonderful advice when it was needed most. In the end, my committee taught me what it meant to be a professional in and out of the academy. I feel thankful to have been in their company. Thanks also to Elisa Abes, Allen Delong, and Chris Shaffer for their friendship and support throughout this process. Special appreciation goes to Allen for the time he spent reading and re- reading much of this work. Thanks to my family for sharing their experiences and providing the occasional reality check. Finally, thanks to Julie King and her remarkable combination of love, wit, and intelligence that I had never before known. v VITA June 1, 1972 ……………………….Born, Olney, Illinois 1994 ………………………...……..B.A. International Affairs, Mary Washington College, Fredericksburg, Virginia 1996 ……………………………….M.A. Geography, Miami University, Oxford, Ohio 1996-1998 …………………………Labor Analyst, Department of Labor, Tallahassee, Florida 1998-2004 …………………………Administrative, Research and Teaching Associate, The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio PUBLICATIONS 1.

  • Report on the State of the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences in South African Universities
    REPORT ON THE STATE OF THE ARTS, HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES IN SOUTH AFRICAN UNIVERSITIES Prepared for the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Ahmed Essop December 2015 1 1. Introduction This report on the trends in, and the size and shape of, the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences (AHSS) at South African universities between 2000 and 2013, which was commissioned by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation (AWMF), has the purpose of informing the Mellon Foundation’s “policy and practice on grant making” in AHSS at South African universities in line with the Foundation’s new Strategic Plan, which calls for “a bold and creative approach to grant making, responsive to promising new organisations as well as to established institutions” and which seeks “a larger family of grantees to underscore the potential contribution of the humanities and arts to social mobility”. The report is based on a combination of quantitative and qualitative analysis, including unstructured interviews with selected academic and institutional actors in AHSS. Furthermore, in line with the Mellon Foundation’s focus, which does not include professional fields in the humanities and social sciences, the analysis focuses on the arts and non-professional humanities and social sciences (ANPH), as outlined in Appendix Two. 3. Part One: Size and Shape of AHSS in South African Universities 3.1 Background The role and status of AHSS has been the subject of public debate in the recent past as a result of two studies – the Academy of Science of South Africa’s (ASSAf) Consensus Study on the State of the Humanities in South Africa (ASSAf, 2011) and the Charter for the Humanities and Social Sciences (DHET, 2011) commissioned by the Minister of Higher Education and Training.

  • The Gordian Knot: Apartheid & the Unmaking of the Liberal World Order, 1960-1970
    THE GORDIAN KNOT: APARTHEID & THE UNMAKING OF THE LIBERAL WORLD ORDER, 1960-1970 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Ryan Irwin, B.A., M.A. History ***** The Ohio State University 2010 Dissertation Committee: Professor Peter Hahn Professor Robert McMahon Professor Kevin Boyle Professor Martha van Wyk © 2010 by Ryan Irwin All rights reserved. ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the apartheid debate from an international perspective. Positioned at the methodological intersection of intellectual and diplomatic history, it examines how, where, and why African nationalists, Afrikaner nationalists, and American liberals contested South Africa’s place in the global community in the 1960s. It uses this fight to explore the contradictions of international politics in the decade after second-wave decolonization. The apartheid debate was never at the center of global affairs in this period, but it rallied international opinions in ways that attached particular meanings to concepts of development, order, justice, and freedom. As such, the debate about South Africa provides a microcosm of the larger postcolonial moment, exposing the deep-seated differences between politicians and policymakers in the First and Third Worlds, as well as the paradoxical nature of change in the late twentieth century. This dissertation tells three interlocking stories. First, it charts the rise and fall of African nationalism. For a brief yet important moment in the early and mid-1960s, African nationalists felt genuinely that they could remake global norms in Africa’s image and abolish the ideology of white supremacy through U.N.

December 2016 Copyright © 2016 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract The Afrikaans film industry came into existence in 1916, with the commercial release of De Voortrekkers (Shaw), and, after 1948, flourished under the guardianship of the National Party. South Africa’s democratic transition, however, seemed to announce the death of the Afrikaans film. In 1998, the industry entered a nine-year slump during which not a single Afrikaans film was released on the commercial circuit. Yet, in 2007, the industry was revived and has been expanding rapidly ever since. This study is an attempt to explain the Afrikaans film industry’s recent success and also to consider some of its consequences. To do this, I situate the Afrikaans film industry within a larger – and equally flourishing – Afrikaans culture industry.

  • THE UNITED STATES and SOUTH AFRICA in the NIXON YEARS by Eric J. Morgan This Thesis Examines Relat
    ABSTRACT THE SIN OF OMISSION: THE UNITED STATES AND SOUTH AFRICA IN THE NIXON YEARS by Eric J. Morgan This thesis examines relations between the United States and South Africa during Richard Nixon’s first presidential administration. While South Africa was not crucial to Nixon’s foreign policy, the racially-divided nation offered the United States a stabile economic partner and ally against communism on the otherwise chaotic post-colonial African continent. Nixon strengthened relations with the white minority government by quietly lifting sanctions, increasing economic and cultural ties, and improving communications between Washington and Pretoria. However, while Nixon’s policy was shortsighted and hypocritical, the Afrikaner government remained suspicious, believing that the Nixon administration continued to interfere in South Africa’s domestic affairs despite its new policy relaxations. The Nixon administration concluded that change in South Africa could only be achieved through the Afrikaner government, and therefore ignored black South Africans. Nixon’s indifference strengthened apartheid and hindered liberation efforts, helping to delay black South African freedom for nearly two decades beyond his presidency.

  • Engineering Education at South Africa's Technicians
    Session 1260 Engineering Education at South Africa’s Technikons G. Frederick d’Almaine, Brian Manhire, Samuel O. Atteh M. L. Sultan Technikon / Ohio University / International Foundation for Education and Self-Help Abstract—This paper describes engineering education at the technikons of post-apartheid South Africa. In addition, the history of technikons is explained in the context of South African tertiary education. Comparisons are drawn between technical colleges, technikons and universities. Fi- nally, some challenges now facing the technikon movement are described. These include the need to adapt to the country’s evolving educational environment—which has radically changed as a result of the dismantling of apartheid—and the move by technikons into the awarding of un- dergraduate and graduate degrees with the attendant concentration on research and the need for technikon educators to seek higher qualifications. I. EDUCATION IN SOUTH AFRICA Education in South Africa is stratified into three layers: primary school (first 7 years); followed by secondary school (next 5 years) and tertiary education.1 Secondary (High) school culminates in a (so-called “matric”) Matriculation Certificate or Senior Certificate which is typi- cally earned at age 18 and is symbolically represented by the letter “M” in the vernacular. Ad- mission to post-matric tertiary education, which is offered by universities, technikons and col- leges, is contingent upon earning the Senior Certificate. There are technical colleges which play a dual secondary/tertiary role by providing the knowledge and skills which prepare their graduates for specific trades or occupations.2 They of- fer National Technical Certificates (N Certificates) such as the N3, which is regarded as equal to a Senior Certificate (provided that languages are also included in the course) and the N4 which is evaluated as M+Β (matric + 8 months) provided it is earned in addition to a qualification equal to the Senior Certificate.

  • We Were Cut Off from the Comprehension of Our Surroundings
    Black Peril, White Fear – Representations of Violence and Race in South Africa’s English Press, 1976-2002, and Their Influence on Public Opinion Inauguraldissertation zur Erlangung der Doktorwürde der Philosophischen Fakultät der Universität zu Köln vorgelegt von Christine Ullmann Institut für Völkerkunde Universität zu Köln Köln, Mai 2005 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The work presented here is the result of years of research, writing, re-writing and editing. It was a long time in the making, and may not have been completed at all had it not been for the support of a great number of people, all of whom have my deep appreciation. In particular, I would like to thank Prof. Dr. Michael Bollig, Prof. Dr. Richard Janney, Dr. Melanie Moll, Professor Keyan Tomaselli, Professor Ruth Teer-Tomaselli, and Prof. Dr. Teun A. van Dijk for their help, encouragement, and constructive criticism. My special thanks to Dr Petr Skalník for his unflinching support and encouraging supervision, and to Mark Loftus for his proof-reading and help with all language issues. I am equally grateful to all who welcomed me to South Africa and dedicated their time, knowledge and effort to helping me. The warmth and support I received was incredible. Special thanks to the Burch family for their help settling in, and my dear friend in George for showing me the nature of determination. Finally, without the unstinting support of my two colleagues, Angelika Kitzmantel and Silke Olig, and the moral and financial backing of my family, I would surely have despaired. Thank you all for being there for me. We were cut off from the comprehension of our surroundings; we glided past like phantoms, wondering and secretly appalled, as sane men would be before an enthusiastic outbreak in a madhouse.
