Narrative Prof Sandra Klopper is currently Dean of the Faculty of Humanities at the University of . She did her undergraduate studies at the University of the Witwatersrand, where she obtained her Honours in Art History (cum laude) in 1978. Her MA, from the University of East Anglia, was on Art and Social Reform. She lectured in Art History at the University of the Witwatersrand from 1981 to 1988, where she also obtained her PhD, which traces the socio-political histories of various traditionalist art forms from present-day northern KwaZulu-Natal. She was appointed as lecturer (specialising in ) at the University of in 1989. While at UCT, she was promoted to Senior Lecturer, then Associate Professor, before accepting an appointment as Head of Visual Arts at the University of Stellenbosch in June 2001. Following her subsequent appointment as Vice Dean: Arts (Drama, Fine Arts and Music) at that university in January 2006, she accepted an additional appointment as Acting Head of the Music Department in mid-2006. She was appointed by the University of Pretoria as Dean of the Faculty of Humanities in October 2008, after being approached to apply for this position in early 2008.

Prof Klopper has written extensively on the traditionalist art of southern African communities, including the expressive culture of migrant labourers and their families; on African fashion, textiles and beadwork; on various aspect of contemporary South African youth culture; and on the work of several contemporary South African artists. She has collaborated with photographer Peter Magubane on the publication of three books and has served on the editorial boards of African Arts (UCLA) and NKA: Journal of Contemporary African Art (Cornell). She has been awarded a B2 NRF-rating, valid from 1 January 2012.

Prof Klopper has long-standing links with colleagues at various universities and museums in the USA and the UK. She also has close ties with colleagues at Makarere University in Uganda and at the University of Dar es Salaam, where she supervised a PhD thesis funded through UCT’s USHEPiA initiative. She continues to collaborate with her former Tanzanian student, Rehema Nchimbi, on various projects.

Prof Klopper has played an active role in spearheading curriculum developments at UCT, Stellenbosch and Pretoria.

She has also served as a member of the Senate Library Committee at UP and, before that, at Stellenbosch.

PROMOTION OF PUBLIC INTELLECTUALISM

This project will be developed further in October 2011.

I also initiated a series of Public debates at the University of Pretoria. Some were held in 2010 in co-operation with the Mail & Guardian and the UP Law Faculty, and a further two are planned for late 2011.

PEER REVIEW SYSTEM FOR CREATIVE RESEARCH

In 2007, I mounted a national workshop, funded by Stellenbosch University, to seek consensus on setting up criteria for the assessment of creative outputs (Music, Drama, Fine Arts, Design, Creative Writing, Architectural Design) with a view to securing funding from the Department of Education for outputs of this kind. At the time, it seemed that this initiative was successful, but in follow up interactions with various role players, it became clear that while the mandated representatives from different tertiary institutions in South Africa agreed that the notion of „practice as research‟ should be taken seriously at a national level, they were unable to agree on the assessment criteria for doing so. The Academy of Science for South Africa (ASSAf) has since tried to take this initiative forward, but is also encountering similar difficulties in developing a credible, nationally accepted peer-review system for assessing creative outputs.
