"Strandlooping" as a Relational Enquiry to Reimagine Higher Education and Gender Studies along the Camissa Coastline
Aaniyah Martin
Gender and Education, v36 n8 p830-844 2024
Thirty years after democracy in South Africa, the legacy of apartheid continues to affect Black and Brown bodies by excluding them from the ocean and other spaces through the legacies of racist laws which continue to bleed into the present. In this paper, I argue that "strandlooping" as a method of enquiry is key to understanding care for our hydrocommons. This methodology can also be considered to be a generative way of re-imagining and practicing higher education research and gender studies differently. "Strandlooping" as a lone, Brown woman along certain stretches of the coastline is unsafe, and this influences the way I work and whom I choose to walk with. I make use of African feminism, Indigenous knowledge and research-creation frameworks in the paper to enact theory-practice-praxis in creative and relational ways. The paper concludes with three suggested watermarks or propositions for "strandlooping" to encourage knowledge-making with humans and more-than-human entities.
