The project, through empirical research to what extent media are considered to be central to the establishment and rooting of democracy because they provide the information citizens need to perform their roles and duties, and serve as a space where citizens can deliberate to form public opinion and influence policy. However, the link between media and citizenship in post-apartheid South Africa is not self-evident. The relationship between media and citizenship is complicated by the fact that while democratisation has restored the legal and political rights of citizenship denied to the majority under apartheid, the continued exclusions from economic equality and social empowerment have resulted in a widespread experience of marginalisation from policy-making and the public sphere for a majority of South Africans.
The project aims to establish how notions of media, citizenship and democracy are articulated in actually-existing social contexts and thus contribute to a better understanding of how media could contribute to the improve- Photo: Sophie Smith ment of democratic participation. In addition

Rhodes Business School has set an ambitious Rhodes Business School continues to be goal of being in the top three research grateful to the DVC: Research and business schools in South Africa as measured Development for making funds available for by its publication ratio. members of Rhodes Business School staff to attend conferences during the year. We are mindful though that this is going to take time and the necessary building blocks have to be put in place to address this. Professor Owen Skae Consequently a decision has been made to Director earmark a staff member with specific responsibility to drive the research agenda and provide a conducive environment for staff and students to achieve this.
Following a review of its academic and personal skills programme as well as its research methods course, a structured programme of submission to key milestones and monitoring has been implemented. It is hoped that instilling this culture of discipline will enable students to convert their research into publications.
There is currently one PhD student enrolled at Rhodes Business School.

Education is a broad field and research in the In addition, an extensive Foundation Phase Education Department is varied. Research Project was initiated to further expand our research emphasis on education The most active research in 2010 is clustered in the early years of schooling. in three areas where strong research capacity has been built up. These include: environmental Dr Bruce Brown education, sustainability and change Head of Department processes, clustered around the Chair of Environmental Education and Sustainability; mathematics teaching and learning, clustered around the newly established Chair of Mathematics Education; and English language and literacy, which is the focus of an active group of scholars in the Department.
The Department has a strong commitment to the development of research capacity in South and Southern Africa. This has resulted in a strong postgraduate programme that draws students from across the region, as is evidenced in the number of conference presentations and research publications that are co-authored by students and staff.
Research in mathematical education was broadened and strengthened in 2010 with the inception of a new Chair in Numeracy to focus on the early teaching and learning of mathematics.

The Department of English continues to make a significant contribution to research at Rhodes University. In the 2010 report period, it produced one joint-authored book, two monographs, two book chapters, and ten journal publications; delivered six papers at academic gatherings; and supervised fourteen master’s dissertations and seven doctoral theses.
Of course, research productivity involves more than a numerical count of publications, papers and supervisions. It comprises the pursuit of knowledge exchange in all aspects of academic activity, from well-informed undergraduate teaching to cogent post- graduate guidance, from staff meetings on curriculum design to open seminars on literary-critical readings.
The Department seeks to synergise these aspects of academic activity towards the creation of an environment that provides supportive undergraduate study, fosters stimulating postgraduate inquiry, and produces incisive staff scholarship. Photo: Sophie Smith

History
Professor Gary Baines delivered papers at three international conferences, in Wales, the Netherlands and Australia, in the second half of 2010. He continues to publish widely in the field of history and memory in South Africa, with a particular focus on the country’s border war in the 1980s.
Two important anniversaries occurred in 2010 -the fiftieth anniversary of the Sharpeville massacre, and the centenary of South African Union. Professor Baines and Professor Paul Maylam presented work to commemorate Sharpeville. Professor Maylam also delivered two papers to mark the centenary of Union.
Dr Alan Kirkaldy continued his research in the field of mission history, publishing an article. Dr Enocent Msindo’s work on ethnicity in Zimbabwe brought a chapter in a book published in Leiden, while he continued to prepare his own book on the subject for publication.
Ms Carla Tsampiras and Ms Vashna Jagarnath both made good progress with their PhD theses, which will be submitted in 2011, while Carla spent a productive period of sabbatical leave at the University of Utrecht.

Human Kinetics and Ergonomics
In 2010 the Human Kinetics and Ergonomics Department published 8 papers, most of them conference papers following invitations to different conferences.
Four accredited journal publications have been issued in national journals in 2010.
The relatively low output compared to previous years is due to an increase in undergraduate and postgraduate student numbers and due to the focus of the department on organising an international conference in Grahamstown in 2011 (Human Factors in Organisational Design and Management, ODAM 2011) where 16 peer reviwed papers from the department will be presented.

The areas of current research interest in the Department are:
• Fuzzy set theory • Functional analysis, including measure theory and martingales • Geometric control, particularly invariant optimal control problems on matrix Lie groups (of low dimension), primarily in aspects regarding controllability, geometry of extremals, stability, and integrability • Neural networks and applications • Computational relativity, and in particular the calculation of gravitational waves from black hole interactions.
Members of the Department published eight research papers; made presentations at five overseas conferences, and at two conferences in South Africa; made nine international visits; and hosted one international visitor.

In 2010, fifteen candidates enrolled in the programme. The Programme also hosted a number of ‘Pre-docs’ - candidates who were not yet ready to enroll for doctoral level work but who it was judged would benefit from a year of structured reading. At the end of 2010, five Pre-Docs converted to fully registered doctoral scholars.
Early in 2010, Professor Chrissie Boughey completed the second tranche of a major piece of research commissioned by the Council on Higher Education. This commissioned work uses audit data to provide a ‘meta-analysis’ of teaching and 2010 saw the first enrolments in CHERTL’s learning at twenty two of the twenty three Higher Education Doctoral Programme co- South African universities.
