The University of Fort Hare is extending an open invitation
to all interested parties to attend and to read academic
papers at a conference to be held at the University from 22
to 24 November 2011.

Conference theme: "Beyond the Apartheid University?
Interrogating the transformation of the South African Higher
Education landscape"

Sub-themes to be considered as focus of papers, but feel
free to innovate:

1. Research and the production of knowledge for a post-
Apartheid South Africa? Who is producing what and for whom?

2. The teaching and learning university vs. the research
intensive university: The HDIs as rural based institutions
and the "Ivy League".

3. Curricula for millennium born free generations: Has any
progress been made towards Africaness?

4. Universities and their roles in the promotion of
citizenship and the public good: What does it mean when
decency cannot feed an empty stomach?

5. Governance and the failing of collegiality in the face of
corporatism.

6. The Science System and the perpetuation of privileged
positions?

7. Intellectual activism and the re-imagining of
Post-Apartheid scholarship.

8. Freedom of speech as a form of resistance to intellectualism?

9. The professor as public intellectual and the
over-simplification of complexity: A marketing ploy?

10. Re-imagining the Humanities in Post-Apartheid /
Post-Colonial Higher Education.

Application and process of acceptance:

1. An electronic abstract of not more than 150 words to be
e-mailed by 31 May 2011 to wawusi@ufh.ac.za and the outcome
of reviewed abstracts by 31 July 2011.

2. Full papers submitted, 6 500 to 7 000 words, by 30
September 2011.

The registration process, payment of fees, paper
presentation format and conference venue will be announced
