  • Decolonising the University Curriculum Or Decolonial- Washing? a Multiple Case Study

A multiple case study Lesley le Grange Department of Curriculum Studies, Faculty of Education, Stellenbosch University, Stellenbosch, South Africa [email protected] https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7096-3609 Petro du Preez School of Professional Studies in Education, North-West University, Potchefstroom, South Africa [email protected] https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9100-6461 Labby Ramrathan School of Education, University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, South Africa [email protected] https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9963-0675 Sylvan Blignaut Nelson Mandela University, Summerstrand Campus, Port Elizabeth, South Africa [email protected] https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5514-0604 (Received: 13 February 2020; accepted: 9 September 2020) Abstract In this article, we report on four case studies of how higher education institutions have grappled with the demands of decolonisation of their curricula. In some respects, the cases differ in form and content, and the unique responses to decolonisation of each institution are described and analysed. An important similarity among the institutions was the use of extensive public lectures, seminars, and workshops as a common strategy to deal with the calls for the decolonising of curricula. The inquiry is motivated by our concern that some institutions, in an effort to comply, might resort to instrumentalist and quick-fix solutions to decolonise curricula, which result in decolonial-washing rather than substantive change. We discuss the following themes based on the data and literature: decolonial-washing; decolonising of curricula as a national project; political symbolism; and the need for complicated conversations.

  • Addo Elephant National Park – Geology
    Addo Elephant National Park – Geology Introduction Before we start, one must remember that we live on a dynamic planet, which is permanently changing and evolving. The earth has a radius of about 6 300km and is covered by a 40km thick crust. The surface crust is continuously being driven by convection currents in the underlying mantle. This causes the crustal plates (continents and oceans) to move relative to each other, a process called “continental drift”. Crustal plates can drift (float) from the warmer tropics to the colder pole regions, all the time changing the way in which a landscape evolves. The combination of earth processes and climatic conditions has a significant impact on the final landscape appearance. The oldest rocks – Peninsula formation quartzitic sandstone The easiest way to describe the geological evolution of the Park is to start with the oldest rocks and work our way towards the present. Our story begins when Africa was joined to a number of other continents to form a super continent called “Pangea”. We (South Africa) were stuck in the middle of this land mass and our landscape was, therefore, very different to what one sees today. The oldest rocks encountered in the Park occur as small islands in Algoa Bay. The Bird Island complex comprises Black Rock, Stag, Seal and Bird Islands and occurs about 10 km south of the Woody Cape cliffs. These rocky islands are made up of quartzitic sandstone of the Peninsula Formation, which forms part of the Table Mountain Group, which in turn forms part of the Cape Supergroup.

I will try to find out if they are experiencing either upward or downward social mobility. Method Observations, document studies, informal dialogues and study visits are part of the ethnographic method which helped me understand and gather information about the South African context. Semi-structured open-ended interviews were used to gain deeper insight in the girls’ situation, their opinions and views. Results To most of the girls, having a career was important. Having a career means you succeeded in life. Hence, the girls approached the term career from different angles. The white girls felt they had to carry out what is expected of them, while as I quite often saw the black girl as more proud and happy about the situation, being in the ”school with opportunities”.
