Gabrielle Riggins-Royals – ProQuest LLC, 2021
In the early 1930s, racial segregation was still dominant in the United States. As laws and regulations were changing to improve the lives of minorities, private lenders were simultaneously creating loopholes that would allow them to circumvent these very regulations meant to enforce the separate but equal doctrine from 1896. To ensure that…

Using a…

Within the last two decades, the South African government drafted impressive policies to fully include and accommodate students with visual impairments within higher education.

Chasi, Colin; Rodny-Gumede, Ylva – Africa Education Review, 2019
Calls for the decolonisation of higher education in South Africa have been punctuated by comments on black pain. This is not surprising if it is acknowledged that violence inordinately marks so much of South African life. What is rarely discussed though is the idea that pain has also come to be fetishised. Pain, for example, is valued as a…

Davids, Nuraan – Policy Futures in Education, 2021
The segregation enforced during apartheid has not only ensured widely disparate South African university landscapes, but also framed constructions of activism in historical discourses of racial disenfranchisement and marginalisation.
