PhD students Aisha Mashingauta @Ashy71447 Jabulani Shaba @jabulanishabazw & Nikiwe Veshe attended the writing workshop for emerging scholars hosted by Journal of Southern African Studies @JSAS_Editors & the Southern African Institute for Policy & Research @SaiparZambia in Lusaka.
Looking forward to this event in Lusaka, Zambia! Very exciting to meet a completely new group of researchers and tap into a new research network.
Can you spot your correspondent?!
Three more presenters in our first panel on Research Assistants @JSAS_Editors . Ackson Kanduza, Deborah Gaitskell, and Leslie Hadfield’s papers all generated great questions.
Fascinating PhD student symposium today: new research by @mr_uledy on Rhodesian land policy (haunted by the ghost of Ian Smith), @jabulanishabazw on the toxic legacies of informal mining experienced by women in #Zimbabwe, chaired by @Ashy71447. @MatiesResearch@SUArtsSocialSci
Very much enjoying a day of 'Zimbabwean Studies' @SAHistorians with presentations so far on CJ Rhodes' legacy, stamps, mining, dogs, and grain marketing.

[NEW] New research from PLAAS shows that while Southern African countries are a hotspot for climate change, they lag behind in responses, as global discourse is driven by Western corporations and NGOs. #COP27

"For a property right to exist, a governing authority must recognise it and defend it against those who seek to grab resources for themselves. Property rights are intertwined with systems of power, governance & authority - usually a state or state-like authority." - Prof Cousins
"Dipping into a rural environment & taking stock of people's livelihoods is often quite methodologically flawed. You should be careful of thinking you can parachute into a rural village, understand the nature of its land, without knowing about its history." - Ruth Hall
Missed out on Day 1 of the #SpringSchool? We've got you covered. Watch what took place as we kicked off the 5-day course. There were fascinating lectures, rich discussions and debates and a visit from an honoured guest, @UWConline VC Professor Tyrone Pretorius. @GSSC_Cologne
