Legal academics and progressive politics in South Africa: Moving beyond the ivory tower - PULP FICTIONS No.2 Edited by Karin van Marle 2006 ISSN: 1992-5174 Pages:30 Print version: Available Electronic version: Free PDF available About PULP FICTIONS - A space for dialogue: Central to the becoming of a society in the context of posts (postapartheid, postcolonial, postmodern) and in the context of trans-formations of the political, legal, socio-economic and cultural is the creation of a vibrant and active public sphere. Of particular concern is an insistence on democracy and transparency radically different from strategic and instrumental conceptions – a space for dialogue and dissent, an opportunity for crea-tivity, experimentation and re-imaginings. About the publication In the second edition of PULP FICTIONS we continue the search for a vibrant and active public sphere through debate. As in the first edition, the dialogue is one between two academics from the faculty of law and, as in the first edition, different conceptions of law, politics and the role of the academic are teased out. The context of the debate in this edition is a series of research meetings of the Department of Legal History, Comparative Law and Jurisprudence at the UP Law Faculty. Over a course of a few of these meetings different perspectives on law, politics and the limits/ potential of the law were voiced by different colleagues.Tshepo Madlingozi presented in one of the meetings his views on the role of legal academics in progressive politics. In this contribution, which appears here, he urges all of us to move ‘beyond the ivory tower’, get out of our ‘air conditioned offices’ and embrace participatory action research. Madlingozi defines the latter as field research where the researcher interacts and participates with communities and engages in research that is ‘unashamedly’ political. Anton Kok in response takes what he calls a ‘pragmatic instrumentalist’ view in contrast to Madlingozi’s more ‘ambitious critique’. Focusing more on law’s potential he highlights the areas where law could contribute to transformation. Both colleagues are not afraid to put their personal political/ideological views on the table. In this way they contribute to the vision of creating a space for dialogue, dissent, creativity and re-imaginings.

Greening the Academy
Author: Samuel Fassbinder
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9462091013
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 249
Book Description
This is the academic Age of the Neoliberal Arts. Campuses—as places characterized by democratic debate and controversy, wide ranges of opinion typical of vibrant public spheres, and service to the larger society—are everywhere being creatively destroyed in order to accord with market and military models befitting the academic-industrial complex. While it has become increasingly clear that facilitating the sustainability movement is the great 21st century educational challenge at hand, this book asserts that it is both a dangerous and criminal development today that sustainability in higher education has come to be defined by the complex-friendly “green campus” initiatives of science, technology, engineering and management programs. By contrast, Greening the Academy: Ecopedagogy Through the Liberal Arts takes the standpoints of those working for environmental and ecological justice in order to critique the unsustainable disciplinary limitations within the humanities and social sciences, as well as provide tactical reconstructive openings toward an empowered liberal arts for sustainability. Greening the Academy thus hopes to speak back with a collective demand that sustainability education be defined as a critical and moral vocation comprised of the diverse types of humanistic study that will benefit the well-being of our emerging planetary community and its numerous common locales.

Book Description
Tekstboek voor studenten en docenten aardrijkskunde. Men geeft hier een feministische kijk op het vak. Het boek opent met een introductie in de 'feministische aardrijkskunde', waarin men aantoont hoe een feministische aanpak de kijk op aardrijkskundige processen en patronen verandert. Verder worden er enkele concrete feministische aardrijkskundige analyses uiteengezet, zoals over de ontwikkelingen in de Derde Wereld, waarbij, volgens de auteurs, al te vaak in de 'gewone' aardrijkskunde de belangrijke rol die vrouwen spelen vergeten wordt. Verder bevat het boek een aantal suggesties voor individuele opdrachten en groepstaken, discussie-ideeën en uitgebreide bibliografische lijsten.
