"' • I ..' .J' Student Convocation on APARTHEID I'm glad to see so many of you out on this cold afternoon to manifest your interest in social justice and particularly in the situation of apartheid, and particularly against the situation of apartheid in South Africa. Let me say first of all, that the issue in question is not whether or not we are against apartheid. l don't know of anyone in America who favors apartheid, certainly not at this University. Apartheid is an evil system, inhuman in its application, and an arrangement that should be eliminated from the face of the earth. The ·issue then is not whether apartheid is evil. l t is. l.Je all recognize that. The real issue is what to do about it and that is not quite as easy as condemning it. As university students, it is important that .. your crusade for social justice be based on studying and understanding, on acknowledgment of the complica- tions of the issue under discussion and Leading towards a solution that will be both intelligent, responsible and effective. Anything Less would be unworthy of university students. It is easy to chant "divestiture now" but l would remind you that complicated questions and complicated problems are 1 -2- not solved by bumper stickers and this is a very complicated question and a very complicated problem. Let me back up and attempt to put it into historical perspective, both with regards to the United States and South Africa as well. Before all of us feel too virtuous, too easily, Let me remind everyone that the United States practiced apartheid for 250 years, dating from the arrival of the first slave.

  • Curriculum Vitae Distinguished Professor Heila Lotz-Sisitka Updated July 2018
    Curriculum Vitae Distinguished Professor Heila Lotz-Sisitka Updated July 2018 South African National Research Foundation Chair (Tier 1) Transformative Social Learning and Green Skills Learning Pathways Summary Narrative Overview and Early Career I started my career in primary education, working with young children to expand their learning horizons through creative, critical approaches to learning. This led me into a postgraduate and post-doctoral career trajectory where I was able to expand my interest in primary education to wider forms of education and learning, all of which have centred on how human relations with the environment shape learning and transformation of society towards social justice, sustainability and the common good. My Masters degree focused on critical, democratic and participatory approaches to working with environmental knowledge in learning support materials development with foundation phase teachers in post-apartheid curriculum settings. The project spanned five years, and grew into a national initiative to strengthen curriculum transformation. The study was unanimously recommended for upgrading to PhD by all examiners. This launched me into an active professional career in participation oriented approaches to environment and sustainability education research that has spanned all levels and types of education, including early learning, general education and training, higher education, community education, and conservation education. Most recently I have also become more involved in vocational and workplace learning as the green economy has emerged as a significant driver of potential just transitions in post-apartheid South Africa, and the skills system was found to be largely re-active to environment and sustainability concerns. My current research focusses on global change and social learning systems, with emphasis on transformative social learning and green skills learning pathways.

  • Surfing, Gender and Politics: Identity and Society in the History of South African Surfing Culture in the Twentieth-Century
    Surfing, gender and politics: Identity and society in the history of South African surfing culture in the twentieth-century. by Glen Thompson Dissertation presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Prof. Albert M. Grundlingh Co-supervisor: Prof. Sandra S. Swart Marc 2015 0 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Declaration By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the author thereof (unless to the extent explicitly otherwise stated) and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Date: 8 October 2014 Copyright © 2015 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved 1 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract This study is a socio-cultural history of the sport of surfing from 1959 to the 2000s in South Africa. It critically engages with the “South African Surfing History Archive”, collected in the course of research, by focusing on two inter-related themes in contributing to a critical sports historiography in southern Africa. The first is how surfing in South Africa has come to be considered a white, male sport. The second is whether surfing is political. In addressing these topics the study considers the double whiteness of the Californian influences that shaped local surfing culture at “whites only” beaches during apartheid. The racialised nature of the sport can be found in the emergence of an amateur national surfing association in the mid-1960s and consolidated during the professionalisation of the sport in the mid-1970s.

  • Enhancing First- Year Mathematics Performance at the University of Johannesburg Melanie Jacobs* and Estherna Pretorius**
    Journal of Student Affairs in Africa | Volume 4(1) 2016, 77-86 | 2307-6267 | DOI: 10.14426/jsaa.v4i1.146 Research article First-year seminar intervention: Enhancing first- year mathematics performance at the University of Johannesburg Melanie Jacobs* and Estherna Pretorius** Abstract South Africa has opened up access to higher education over the past 20 years. The massive increase in enrolments (with almost 70% first-generation students) substantially affects progress and graduation rates in Science programmes in higher education. First-year students in Science realise that university mathematics requires knowledge and skills that are not part of their academic repertoires. Science students at the University of Johannesburg register for a two-week, credit-bearing First-year Seminar (FYS). The research question that this paper addresses is: What is the relationship between the First- year Seminar and the mathematics performance of first-year students in Science? The specific purpose is to determine the relationship between: (1) students’ school mathematics background; (2) the problem- solving skills sessions of the FYS; and (3) their first-year performance in mathematics. It was found that the FYS enhances students’ ability to make a successful transition to university, with problem- solving ability acting as a fair predictor of performance in first-year mathematics. The empirical data was collected through a before-and-after test performed by the 2014 cohort with regards to students’ attendance of the FYS. Notably, the data indicate that the value added by the problem-solving test can be applied to identify and engage students who have high probability of becoming students at risk (STARs).
