@DocRoscher @WildPasts_ That shirt looks nice! Where can I get one? Asking for a friend🤓

@WildPasts_ @mr_uledy @TeveWekwaMuguti @jabulanishabazw Aww thank you Prof. We are a product of your great mentorship and support.

Four of my PhD students finished in minimum time, working on important topics in difficult places. Follow them, they are doing exciting things! @mr_uledy @TeveWekwaMuguti @Ashy71447 @jabulanishabazw

... with prizes for the best presentations presented by Prof. Swart @WildPasts_ to Munashe Chideya @munashechideya, Peter Uledi @mr_uledy and Aisha Mashingauta @Ashy71447. @SUArtsSocialSci @MatiesResearch

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. #HASA2023

@umaruZW @ASANewsOnline @ASRJournal Congratulations

While minding my own business taking office selfies, my name was being mentioned at the ongoing @ASANewsOnline conference in Philly. Honorable mention for the 2022 @ASRJournal Best Africa-based dissertation. #smallgrainsBigBrains 😉

[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 loom.ly/pDfIBMk

We believe access to nutritious food is a basic human right. ✊🍲🌍 Do you agree?

We are an hour away from Day 2 of the Climate Change and Agrarian Justice Conference. Make sure you follow us to keep up with the conversation. Also, you can participate under #AfricanClimateJustice. See you at 2pm! @TNInstitute @Peasant_Journal @rosaluxstiftung

"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

@PLAASuwc Interesting:I liked the sovereignty part- is the food culturally acceptable

"If we want to achieve food security today, it can't only be that there is food. It also has to be creating livelihoods. People are not hungry in our cities today because food isn't there. It's because they can't buy it, they can't access it." - Marc Wegerif.

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
