Shortly after the giant bronze statue of Cecil John Rhodes came down at the University of Cape Town, student protestors called for the decolonisation of universities. It was a word hardly heard in South Africa's struggle lexicon and many asked: What exactly is decolonisation? This book brings together some of the most innovative thinking on curriculum theory to address this important question.

In the process, several critical questions are raised:

• Is decolonisation simply a slogan for addressing other pressing concerns on campuses and in society?
• What is the colonial legacy with respect to curricula and can it be undone?
• How is the project of curricula decolonisation similar to or different from the quest for post-colonial knowledge, indigenous knowledge or a critical theory of knowledge?
• What does decolonisation mean in a digital age where relationships between knowledge and power are shifting?

Strong conceptual analyses are combined with case studies of attempts to `do decolonisation' in settings as diverse as South Africa, Uganda, Tanzania and Mauritius. This comparative perspective enables reasonable judgments to be made about the prospects for institutional take-up within the curriculum of century-old universities. Decolonisation in Universities is essential reading for undergraduate teaching, postgraduate research and advanced scholarship in the field of curriculum studies.

As slaap en alleen piepie vir die voëls is, jy weke laas beenhare kon skeer, jy sukkel om in jou broeke te pas en push-up bra’s moet dra – o ja, en jy gewoond is aan koue koffie – dan is hierdie rubriekbundel vir jou!

’n Humoristiese blik op die vreugdes en uitdagings van moederskap en vrouwees.

Carla Lang se blog, #kouekoffie, het reeds oor die 15 000 aanhangers (followers). Van die rubrieke het oorspronklik op Netwerk24 verskyn.

Now in its third year, the AVBOB Poetry Project has garnered several industry prizes.

I Wish I'd Said: Volume 2 includes 101 poems with English translations: 55 specially commissioned poems and 44 poems drawn from the 2018 competition. And, following the blueprint of the first volume, we pay homage to the Khoisan languages, by including two poems by the |Xam poet Dia!kwain. South African poets old and new were asked to submit poems on loss, grieving, love and consolation in their mother tongues.

This new collection – and the online poetry portal – forms a space where the voiceless may be heard, and where we find common ground. Loss is a universal language and poetry its voice.

Padda voel vreemd. Hy het ’n versnelde hartklop, kry warm en koue gloede en wil lag en huil tegelyk. Dan besef hy: Hy is verlief op Eend! Maar daar is een probleem: Padda is groen en Eend is wit … Volgens Padda se maats is dit onmoontlik dat ’n groen padda en ’n wit eend mekaar kan liefhe. Maar Padda bewys aan sy maats dat liefde geen grense het nie. Padda is verlief is 'n storie vol pret en pragtige illustrasies, met 'n belangrike lewensles vir kinders so jonk as 3.

This thoroughly revised Handbook presents an up-to-date political and philosophical history of global constitutionalism. By exploring the constitutional-like qualities of international affairs, it provides key insights into the evolving world order. Through a sustained examination of current events, as well as an acknowledgement of the significance of early constitutional history, this erudite Handbook brings together contributions from world-leading academics. New chapters offer timely commentaries on important developments in methodology such as postcolonial and feminist approaches. By providing additional scope for analysis, this updated edition further emphasises the central message of the first: that the global order cannot be understood without a clear comprehension of constitutional theory. The Handbook on Global Constitutionalism will act as an essential resource for scholars and academics of law, politics and human rights. Due to its comprehensive examination of vital concepts such as legal theory, it will additionally be beneficial for practitioners and policy makers.

Triple bill of crime dramas. In 'Bad Karma' (2012), starring Ray Liotta and Dominic Purcell, a criminal's attempts to go straight are sabotaged by his former partner. Relocating from Sydney to the Gold Coast to start afresh, Molloy (Liotta) is remarkably successful and even finds something approaching domestic bliss with a new girlfriend. Naturally, when his old crime partner Mack (Purcell) tracks him down he finds that Molloy is reluctant to return to his past life. Unfortunately, this doesn't deter the increasingly deranged Mack as he sets about convincing Molloy to help him pull off one last job. In 'The Entitled' (2011) social misfit Paul (Kevin Zegers) is driven to desperate measures when he is turned down for yet another job and his ill mother is given a foreclosure notice on the family home. He enlists the help of two friends to abduct three kids from rich families and hold them ransom for a million dollars each, but the plan goes badly wrong and they soon find themselves in way over their heads. 'Officer Down' (2012) follows Detective David Callahan (Stephen Dorff), known as 'Cal' on the force, who has had a mixed career as a police officer, struggling with drink problems and straying to the wrong side of the law himself at times. When he finds himself caught up in a murder investigation, Cal must attempt to overcome the demons from his own past as well as the challenges of the case.

Three classic films starring comedy duo Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy. In 'The Dancing Masters' (1943), Stan (Laurel) and Ollie (Hardy) are owners of a dance school, but are evicted for non-payment of rent. To raise money, Ollie tries an insurance scam which involves inflicting injuries on Stan, but the inept pair soon find themselves mixed up with local gangsters. Watch out for appearances by long-running Marx Brothers' foil Margaret Dumont and a youthful Robert Mitchum. In 'A-haunting We Will Go' (1942), Laurel and Hardy unknowingly offer to help a bunch of crooks smuggle a wanted man past the police in a coffin. Unfortunately, the casket gets mixed up with one used by a stage musician, leading to a comic chase. Finally, in 'The Bullfighters' (1945), Stan and Ollie are two detectives looking for a female criminal in Mexico. Stan gets mistaken for a famous matador and is forced to show his prowess in the bullring.

Exploring the important role of education in both pursuing and implementing sustainable development, this timely Handbook highlights how teaching methods at schools and universities can impact the future. It looks at ways not only to inform students about matters related to sustainable development, but also to empower them to adopt behaviours and actions that lead to more sustainable lifestyles. Chapters from an international team of contributors present and analyse experiences of different learning processes and methods, showcasing the impact of curriculum-related issues and teacher training. Using different pedagogical approaches, case studies and interdisciplinary initiatives, the Handbook explores a broad range of technological approaches and tools to foster better teaching and learning for sustainable development. It provides key insights into the implementation of teaching initiatives in helping to promote sustainable development and the UN Sustainable Development Goals. This Handbook will be crucial reading for those investigating curriculum policies and issues, and looking to enhance students' understanding of sustainability in schools and universities.

Die meeste sterre is lankal dood is die bekroonde digter Johann de Lange se dertiende bundel. Dit bestaan uit ses afdelings, deurgaans gewy aan vlietende oomblikke vasgevang in 'n vers ("om met woorde die onsegbare te sê"). Die bundel het 'n elegiese toonaard, en word oorheers deur 'n bewustheid van verlies & verganklikheid, van "inskaduwings van die lig". Verse oor die skryfproses figureer as teenvoeter vir die verbygaande aard van mens wees. Dit is verse vir "my mooi dooies". In "Oggendmusiek" beskryf die digter 'n vroegoggendkoor van voëls voor sonsopkoms, elders 'n koorddanser, voetjie vir voetjie oor die spantou. Soos in sy vorige werk is die erotiese verse 'n hoogtepunt in die bundel, bv in "Ode aan die mielie": "Nét so, nog aan die oggend ­­ tussen die syige bene van die dag ­­staan hy, volryp, pittig & reg."

Bloed & sneeu

Bloed op sneeu is ’n pasgebore rooi,
van iets gewond, ’n struikelende spoor.
En die sneeu? Is daar énigiets so mooi,
so prilwit gespits, as ’n haseoor?
