Bodunrin, Itunu Ayodeji (DLitt et Phil) Itunu Bodunrin is a Nigerian, born on 1 August 1989. He currently lectures at the University of Johannesburg on a part-time basis. Bodunrin was awarded a competitive Travel Grant by the Swiss National Science Foundation to present a paper at the European Conference on African Studies (ECAS 2017) at the University of Basel, Switzerland. His research interests include: Media Studies, Cultural Studies, Indigenous Studies, and Public Health Communication. Bodunrin is a member of the following professional bodies and organisations: The International Association for Media and Communication Research (IAMCR), the Association of Cultural Studies (ACS), the South African Communication Association (SACOMM). He has four publications to his name. Itunu Bodunrin’s thesis investigated contemporary social practices and issues of citizenship, indigeneity and identity among the !Xun and Khwe indigenous people of South Africa. The study used a Cultural Studies approach in exploring the representation of otherness and difference, which has a much longer and complex history in Southern Africa. Although the present day !Xun and Khwe identity has been shaped largely by colonialism, the study has shown how globalisation, capitalism and modernity are shaking the foundations of such trajectories of relationships. In the process of making sense of the processes of the !Xun and Khwe identity formation, Bodunrin developed a model of indigenous identity. His study of these two modernising native groups must be seen as a measure of what the South African indigenous landscape may look like in the near future. Bodunrin’s self-critical and self-reflexive decolonial methodology can also serve as a template for future ethnographic researchers and anthropologies in negotiating self-other relationships in the South African research field. One examiner commented thus: “the thesis shows a nice mixture of empirical data and embeddedness in academic literature…it reveals in sufficient ways how multidimensional and multi-layered interpretations of social realities can be.” Various chapters in the thesis have been published and presented at international conferences, both within and outside the continent. Supervisor: Prof KG Tomaselli Co-Supervisor: Prof N Mboti

Dannhauser, Phyllis Denise (PhD) Phyllis Dannhauser holds a BA Drama and BA Honours, both from the University of Pretoria, and a Master’s degree in Dramatic Arts from the University of the Witwatersrand. She has a career of 25 years in the film industry, and currently lectures in Film and Television at UJ. In the thesis, Phyllis uses personal storytelling and filmmaking to overcome marginalisation in social and academic environments. In an evocative account, she presents her life as a screenplay taking place both during apartheid and post-apartheid. The personal account is interwoven with theoretical reflections, focusing on issues of representation, memory, history and marginalisation. Phyllis provides a framework for allowing marginalised voices to be heard in the production of social documentaries and enables fresh approaches to both filmmaking and academic research. The examiners agreed that the thesis exceeds the requirements for doctoral work. The originator and developer of autoethnography wrote: “It is a tour de force and among the best dissertations I have read in my more than forty years in academia…”. The other international assessor stated: “(The candidate) … (has) made a considerable contribution to the understanding of creative methodology and practice”. Finally, the local examiner, stated: “The candidate and her promotor must be congratulated for producing a creative, beautiful, enchanting and thought-provoking piece of work-art and fiction blended to mould and shape scientific insight, thereby confirming that art and science should not be seen as mutually exclusive opposites…(The) study will most certainly add to the growing recognition of the value of autoethnographic studies in South Africa….” Supervisor: Prof Willem Schurink

Goteng, Tongshinung Monday (PhD) Tongshinung Goteng graduated from the University of Jos, Nigeria, with a Bachelor of Arts (English language) and a Master’s degree (English language) in 1995. In 2001, he joined the Plateau State Polytechnic in Nigeria as a part-time lecturer before moving to the Department of English and Literary Studies at the Plateau State University in Bokkos as a lecturer in 2010. He is a member of the Nigeria English Studies Association and of the Linguistics Association of Nigeria. He enrolled at the University of Johannesburg for doctoral studies in Applied Linguistics in 2015. Nigerian language-in-education policy takes the position that mother-tongue instruction is challenging, given the presumed high cost of producing the required resources such as learning and teaching materials, in addition to teacher training. This study investigates the perceptions and opinions of lecturers and students at selected Nigerian universities regarding the use of English as the language of learning and teaching (LOLT) in higher education. Cooper’s (1989) language planning accounting scheme serves as the framework for gauging the impact of socio-political and economic factors advancing the use of English as LOLT in higher education. A mixed-methods approach is adopted with data gathered through structured questionnaires and observation. The findings indicate that students believe English as a common LOLT facilitates learning in a multilingual context and improves career development and participation in national and international affairs. Lecturers agree that the use of a common LOLT fosters uniformity in teaching. However, they believe that students have difficulties in comprehending concepts in English and that, notwithstanding the instrumental value that the use of a common medium of learning and teaching offers, it undermines the use and development of indigenous languages. The study recommends that education authorities and policy-makers pursue more equitable language policies to address the marginalization of indigenous languages. Supervisor: Prof SM Beukes

Hesman, Paul Ryan (DLitt et Phil) Paul Ryan Hesman matriculated in 1981 from the Athlone Boys High School in Bezuidenhout Valley, Johannesburg. He graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Theology (Summa Cum Laude) in May 1988 from Piedmont International University, Winston Salem, North Carolina, USA. In December 1991, he received the Master of Education degree (specializing in Speech Communication) from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, USA. He graduated with Highest Honours from Dallas Theological Seminary, Dallas, Texas, in May 1998 with a Master of Theology (New Testament) degree. He has lectured in Speech Communication and Theology at a number of institutions over the past twenty three years. Paul Ryan Hesman's study utilizes intertextuality and narrative analogy to identify and explicate what the apostle Paul means by the construct of new creation in his letter to the Christ-movement in Rome. He argues that Paul's socio-rhetorical strategy is intertextually to invoke Israel's Scriptures to frame the gospel, the revelation of the covenant justice of the creator-God, into an overarching narrative, new creation, in order to meet the socio-political exigencies of the Christ-movement in Rome and to establish Rome as a new base for his missional activity. The intertextual matrix from which Paul draws includes Israel's Scriptures (particularly Isaiah, the Psalms, and Genesis), the ideology of the Roman Empire, and the socio-political situation of the Christ-movement in Rome. Drawing intertextually from Isaiah, Paul depicts Jesus Christ as embodying the promises of YHWH, construed as his return and reign, to liberate Israel from exile, summon the nations to pledge allegiance to his absolute lordship and kingship, and transform natural creation. The development of the construct of new creation is predominantly implicit and subtle, utilizing echoes and allusions, socio-rhetorically relevant to the Christ-movement, and multi-dimensional, consisting of sociological, political, and ecological dimensions.

Mahomed, Nadeem (DLitt et Phil) Nadeem Mahomed memorized the entire Qur’an at the age of eleven. After his A aggregate in Matric, he acquired his BA (Law and Philosophy) and BA LLB at Wits with distinction – every year receiving distinction awards. Admitted to the Bar in 2011, he served as a clerk on South Africa’s Constitutional Court. In 2010 he was the top BA (Hon) student at UJ’s Faculty of Humanities and in 2012 he received the Faculty’s Merit Award for his MA degree which was granted with distinction. This dissertation is a brilliant, carefully researched and elegantly narrated account of the tumultuous and painful history of a persecuted Ahmadi Muslim Community of Cape Town. Mahomed’s dissertation combines extensive archival legal records, moving personal narratives of isolation and marginalization, along with a profound knowledge of Islamic theology (and the related questions of orthodoxy and heterodoxy and what constitutes a Muslim), contemporary social theory and Roman Dutch Law as it prevailed in the pre-1994 South Africa. Mahomed’s dissertation is a significant new contribution to the field of Muslim heresiography, Muslims in South Africa and religion and the state in South Africa. It conforms to - even exceeds - the scholarly expectations for work presented at a PhD level. The candidate displayed an ability to weave his analysis with the necessary historical detail, elegant legal interpretation, an application of relevant literature to his reading of core debates, and a sophisticated marshalling of a nuanced set of analytical tools. The result is a seamless, compelling and convincing thesis which meets all the scholarly objectives which the candidate had set for himself at the outset of the thesis. This work has yielded two scholarly journal articles presently under review and, as a manuscript, is currently under consideration by Oxford University Press for publication. Supervisor: Prof F Esack

McWade, Christopher (DLitt et Phil) Chris McWade completed his undergraduate degree in journalism at UJ before deciding that his future lay in English literary studies. He graduated cum laude in both his honours and Masters degrees. He found his specialisation in Nationalism and cultural studies during the course of his Phd. This project informed his lecturing work at LISOF on Alexander McQueen’s conceptual fashion design referencing Scottish Nationalism, as well as other designers who dealt with Nationalism in the UK and in South Africa. Chris currently works at a private university as an academic manager, overseeing the academic strength of the creative and technical design cluster. Drawing on a range of literary and visual texts within a cultural studies framework, McWade investigates how three prominent figures in Scottish popular culture have explored the relationship between failure and nationalism as a socially exclusionary force. The central discussion follows how Irvine Welsh in his novels, Alexander McQueen in his fashion design work, and Danny Boyle in his films, consider the implications of nationalism on gender, race, and class. Each of the three artists are evaluated in terms of the meaning that they assign to failure in the context of Scottish nationalism and the universals of the human condition. McWade shows how Welsh re-evaluates societal understandings of failure and employs a humanist vision in his exploration of nationalism as constructed as class-based. Similarly, he sees McQueen as using historical revisionism and temporal distortion in order to foreground and explore Scotland’s tumultuous political history and the implications of it on gender divisions. Lastly, he discusses how Boyle’s films question notions of deviance and criminality as part of his re-evaluation of failure. While all three artists are concerned with how nationalist narratives exclude minority groups, their considerations extend beyond ideas and representations of victimhood. Rather, this work is interested in how national identities and histories are re-imagined, and how failure is reframed in relation to success. Supervisor: Prof R Frenkel

Moyo, Mbuso (DLitt et Phil) Mbuso Moyo obtained a BA Honours degree in History from the University of Zimbabwe, and an Honours and Masters (MA) in Development Studies from the University of the Witwatersrand. After completing his MA, Mbuso worked as a researcher for several research firms (including the Community Agency for Social Enquiry) for eleven years. Although after finishing his MA he – like many others – entered the lucrative world of research consultancy, he never abandoned his latent academic ambitions and interests. It was no wonder therefore that Mr Moyo decided to go back to study by embarking on his PhD with UJ. Moyo has conducted a study which explores the interplay of lived experiences, perceptions, aspirations and choices of unemployed youth in the Royal Bafokeng Nation – seemingly one of the “richest tribes” in Africa. Using the theoretical tools borrowed from Sen's Capability Approach and Arjun Appadurai's (2004) theory on aspirations, Moyo’s study foregrounds the “hidden transcripts” of unemployed youth about how they make sense of the development narratives within the RBN. He shows that young people’s experiences of development in the RBN are underscored by political and economic alienation as well as indignity and stagnation. Even though they adequately express their aspirations, these remain unmet due to several familial and structural constraints. To mitigate these constraints, young people use various strategies to make ends meet. These include engaging in informal and sometimes illicit activities. These findings show how development can be largely captured by markets (mining companies) and local authorities (traditional leaders) to the detriment of communities. According to young people, traditional leaders, while masquerading as guardians of communities, can be self-serving. These findings have implications on how to measure development in the context in which there is a dissonance between people’s lived experiences at a micro-level and development achievements at a macro-level.

Omorogiuwa, Tracy Beauty Evbayro (DLitt et Phil) Tracy Omorogiuwa, obtained her Master’s in Social Work from the University of Ibadan. She completed her undergraduate studies at the University of Benin in Nigeria, where she obtained both a BSc in Sociology and Anthropology as well as a Diploma in Social Work. She has been lecturing at the University of Benin for 10 years, where she is involved in students’ field placement and supervision. Her research focuses on child and family welfare, with emphasis on child development, protection and intervention. Her most recent research is entitled, “The socio-economic context of child labour in Benin City, Nigeria”. Tracy’s thesis employs Rothman and Thomas’s design and development model of intervention research, to create intervention guidelines for social workers who deal with child labour issues in Nigeria. In Nigeria, high levels of child labour are evident, with approximately one-third of children aged 7-14 involved in this form of work. The Nigerian Child’s Rights Act states that “a child should not be required to engage in any labour activity that is likely to adversely affect his physical, mental, spiritual, moral or social development”. Despite this legislation, child labour continues to jeopardise children’s physical, social and educational well-being. Researchers have confirmed the need for programmes that specify effective intervention strategies to address child labour. Hence, Tracy embarked on an intensive process of interviewing child labourers on the streets, and their parents, to uncover the complex circumstances that allow for child labour to persist. She consulted social work experts in child care and child protection to develop contextually relevant and practical intervention guidelines, pilot-tested in three rounds using the Delphi technique. This thesis offers methodological innovations and theoretical insights, through demonstrating the usefulness of the intervention research design and the efficacy of the ecological approach to understanding the complexity of child labour issues in Africa.

Zwane, Duduzile Charol (DLitt et Phil) Duduzile Charol Zwane was born in Vryheid, in Northern KwaZulu-Natal, before moving to Durban. Dudu attended Wembley Primary School and Crystal Point Secondary School. She obtained her BSocSci degree in Management and Communication in 2011. In 2012, she obtained her Honours Degree in Media and Cultural Studies. In 2013, she received her Master’s degree in Media and Cultural Studies. All her qualifications were attained at UKZN. In 2014 Dudu began lecturing at UKZN’s Centre for Communication, Media and Society. She was head-hunted by the University of the Free State in 2016. In 2017 she moved to Johannesburg and focused on completing her doctoral studies at UJ. Dudu Zwane’s study investigated how underprivileged Zulu breast cancer patients experienced this illness. By examining the narratives of this group, her study aimed to establish how their breast cancer reality is lived, communicated and negotiated. The findings indicated that despite facing numerous sociocultural and structural challenges, breast cancer patients are extraordinarily resilient. They are proactive about acquiring knowledge and healthcare in order to cure this disease. Dudu’s thesis garnered praise from all her examiners. One of them described it as: “A superlative piece of scholarly work with enormous scope and potential to influence policy and engender a seismic shift in terms of attitudes – not only in SA in terms of how both men and women perceive breast cancer. The candidate must be commended for coming up with such an instructive thesis… I strongly recommend that once the thesis is awarded and the result published, the candidate should be given an opportunity to share her research findings with the nation on radio and television”. In sum, Dudu’s thesis endorses the creation of culture-congruent health communication strategies that promote early detection and treatment of breast abnormalities. Further, it supports the improvement of healthcare services that are geared towards women with breast cancer. Supervisor: Prof PP Frassinelli

Naidoo, Kumaran Shunmugam (PhD hc) Kumaran Shunmugam Naidoo (Kumi Naidoo), a life-long social justice campaigner hailing from South Africa, joined Amnesty International as the organisation’s ninth Secretary-General in August 2018. Born in Durban in 1965, Kumi’s first taste of activism came at age 15 when he organised and took part in an anti-apartheid protest that saw him expelled from his school. During the 1970s and 1980s, a young Naidoo was a fierce campaigner for justice and equality in South Africa, and against the oppression and repression of the apartheid regime. From there he became deeply embedded in activism in his local community and organised mass mobilisations against the apartheid regime. In 1986, at the age of 21, Kumi was charged for violating the state of emergency regulations. He was forced to go underground, before deciding to live in exile in the UK where he stayed until Nelson Mandela was released and liberation movements were unbanned. During this time, he remained committed to the power of education and was a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford University where he obtained a doctorate in Political Philosophy. He also holds a BA in Politics and Law from the University of Durban-Westville. As the apartheid regime crumbled, Kumi returned to South Africa in 1990, and after Nelson’s Mandela’s release from prison, he engaged in voluntary work, including helping to legalise and setting up the African National Congress (ANC) at home. This time, he took up a cause close to his heart: education, specifically adult literacy campaigns and voter education efforts to empower historically and systematically disenfranchised communities. Kumi has held multiple international leadership roles, and was the first African to head Greenpeace, the international environmental group. It was during his time as Executive Director of Greenpeace International that his reputation as a bold activist who championed civil disobedience was cemented. Thus, he was arrested for scaling a Greenlandic oil rig to hand-deliver a petition in protest of drilling in the Arctic in 2011. A year later, he occupied a Russian oil rig in the Barents Sea in the Russian Arctic. Kumi’s most recent role has been as a co-founder and interim chair of the pan-African organisation, Africans Rising for Justice, Peace and Dignity. The group, which has forged partnerships across trade unions, religion and civil society, aims to change the fact that while Africa as a continent has benefitted from economic growth, Africans themselves have not shared in that increasing wealth and power. Kumi Naidoo also previously led the Global Call for Climate Action. As such, his activism was aimed at obtaining increased ambitions from governments to cap emissions and vigorously move towards an energy sector based on renewables to help humanity avoid catastrophic climate change. He is also a former Secretary-General of Civicus, an international alliance for citizen participation. Closer to home, Kumi was the founding Executive Director of the South African NGO Coalition (SANGOCO). UJ cherishes the values of equality and social justice. We are convinced that Kumi Naidoo’s tireless work and fearless activism, and his sacrifices for solidarity, democracy, equitable and sustainable development, and social justice resemble and exemplify UJ’s

values. That is why we are proud to award Kumi Naidoo the degree Doctor Honoris Causa in Humanities, and can boldly claim him as an alumnus of the University of critical pan-African inquiry that seeks to propel Africa into the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
