text: I took my boys who are grade 12, to your open day on May 10th. Even my 13 year old tagged along because he too wanted the experience. The reception was great. Seeing attendees from other schools definitely proved UWC as the preferred choice of tertiary institution. I loved the state of the art facilities, infrastructure and cleanliness of the grounds. There is just something great at UDUBS and I'm loving it! A token of appreciation goes to the student council, lecturers, staff and security who were so accommodating and helpful. They were so eager to assist and answer any question we had. I really enjoyed the jazz band as entertainment while the kids explored the campus. We need to see more of the band👌 Keep up the great work🙂

text: Got nothing short of beautiful memories. Such a lovely institution with state of art facilities. One thing that stood out for me was the cleanines around the university and the top notch security. The university has a lot of world class infrastructure ranging from sports playing areas, lecture halls to mention but a few. Staff are extremely welcoming as well.

text: My Anywhoo's... It's been a while since I've been back at UWC as a student 😂. Well, everything still looks the same. Some construction happening 🤷♀️. But anyways, it was a ghost town. Security is still the same, obviously... The School of Governance looks a bit run down. Apparently since the "Fees must Fall" Era. Other than that, same old same old. Actually got a parking 😂😂😂, that says alot. So.. 👍 And Until next time... 😉

reasoning: This is a perfect match. The names are identical ('University of the Western Cape'), the institution type matches exactly (university), and the location is consistent with South Africa (country code ZA). The Google Maps entry shows the university is located in Bellville, Cape Town, which is the correct location for the University of the Western Cape in South Africa. The website URL (uwc.ac.za) also confirms this is the official institution.

reasoning: 'Strong match based on exact name correspondence (''University of the Western Cape''), perfect country alignment (ZA), and highly relevant description that specifically describes the university''s mission, values, and context. The description mentions the university''s commitment to teaching, learning, research, and cultural diversity in South Africa, along with official hashtags (#IamUWC #UWC60) that suggest this is an official channel. The subscriber count of 14,300 is reasonable for a university channel. While the description doesn''t specifically mention heritage/archives/museums, this is expected as UWC is primarily an educational institution rather than a dedicated heritage organization.'

description: "Topic: Social work and the arts: A transdisciplinary process to promote creativity, self-expression and social cohesion\n\nAbstract:\nSocial work is both a practice-based and academic discipline directed at the empowerment of people, social cohesion and social change. In accordance with this description, the presentation reports on transdisciplinary work and research to empower individuals through artistic self-expression, and to promote social inclusion and cohesion through joint artistic activities. Joint music-making serves as the example to report on the outcomes of various projects. These projects focused on participating students’ personal and professional development, as well as the social impact of artistic community engagement projects. Working from a hermeneutics perspective, the appreciative inquiry model is presented as a practice framework to enhance the social dimensions of joint music-making in learning and teaching activities, intended for preparing students from various disciplines to facilitate artistic community engagement projects to promote social inclusion and cohesion. \n\nSpeaker Biography:\nMarichen van der Westhuizen completed a Bachelor of Arts in Social Work at Stellenbosch University. Subsequently, she obtained a Magister in Diaconiolagiae and Doctor in Philosophy (direction Social Work) degree at the University of South Africa, focusing on the development of social work guidelines for aftercare to adolescents with substance use disorders. She started her academic career in 2006, marked by international and transdisciplinary collaborations and research. She joined the University of the Western Cape’s Department of Social Service Professions, hosting the disciplines of social work and community development, in 2019. Since 2020, she is the Head of Department. In addition to a continued focus on the treatment of substance use disorders, she has a particular research interest in community work and development towards social inclusion, ecological social work, supported education at Higher Education Institutions, and intercultural social work and the arts.\n\n#IAmUWC #UWCInauguralLecture"

|
||
description: 'Professor Albertus J (AJ) Smit has been with the Department of Biodiversity & Conservation Biology at the University of the Western Cape since 2014. Trained as an ecophysiologist, he began with laboratory studies of nitrogen acquisition in algae and broadened this into investigations of trophic dependencies in marine systems. That orientation expanded further when climate science demanded attention to the physical processes of dynamic coasts and the power of large open datasets. Today, his research centres on the ways extreme climatic events in the ocean shape the functioning of coastal ecosystems.

Topic: Between Two Oceans: Currents, Climate, And The Future Of South Africa’s Coasts
|
||
|
||
|
||
Abstract
|
||
|
||
South Africa is a natural laboratory between two oceans. On the one side, the Agulhas Current brings warm, subtropical waters down the east coast, carrying heat and moisture that shape the region’s humid climate. On the west, the Benguela Current drives cold, nutrient-rich upwelling that fuels one of the most productive marine ecosystems on Earth. Nowhere else does such stark geographical compression of oceanic contrasts occur across so narrow a continental margin. These boundary currents generate extraordinary biodiversity and exerts influence at planetary scales: as Agulhas leakage feeds the Atlantic circulation central to climate regulation, the Benguela’s fertility underpins industrial-scale fisheries that sustain livelihoods, food security, and coastal economies. But the world is changing. The Agulhas Current is intensifying heat transport, shifting regimes along the subtropical–temperate boundary. In the Benguela, the southern reaches are cooling even as offshore and northern sectors trend warmer, a divergence driven by reconfigured wind systems. These atmospheric shifts cascade through the marine domain, reshaping nutrient delivery, biological productivity, and the ecological underpinnings of our coasts. The consequences are real and form the subject of this lecture. I will examine evidence for change in the physical ocean and explore how the ecosystems that sustain biodiversity, the people whose food security depends on fisheries, and the industries whose fortunes rise and fall with the sea are being forced into new, uncertain'

description: 'Topic: Beyond Crisis and Credibility in International Legal Reform: Africa at a Critical Juncture
|
||
|
||
|
||
Abstract:
|
||
|
||
Historically, the most fundamental changes in international law-making processes have been driven by crises. The League of Nations and the United Nations were established in the aftermath of World War I and II respectively. On both occasions, Africa was essentially a norm-taker in an international law that legitimises its subordination. While the end of the Cold War constrained Africa’s potential as a norm-entrepreneur, the current global crises is a critical juncture for Africa to contribute to shaping a new international legal order. What should be Africa’s role and how should Africa approach this
|
||
|
||
endeavour? In this lecture, I argue that Africa is presented with a ‘Bandung Moment’-type of historic
|
||
|
||
opportunity to drive the reform of international law. Africa’s approach to a new international legal order should be underpinned by three key pillars: first, assertive continental sovereignty; second, extra-legal international legal reform norm-entrepreneurship; and third, a decolonised continental international legal policy. These propositions are framed by theoretical paradigms of the Third World Approaches to International Law (TWAIL).

description: 'Topic: The foundational values of indigenous laws as the framework for African common laws
|
||
|
||
|
||
Abstract:
|
||
|
||
Indigenous laws were predominant in Africa before European colonialism. In many communities, these laws still govern marriages, burials, succession, land tenure and dispute resolution. However, they are threatened by universalist ideas of ‘proper behaviour,’ which manifest in norm-killing law reforms. Drawing from multi-country field research, I argue that the foundational values of indigenous laws reveal conflict of law dynamics involving traditional and modern lifestyles. Since these values depict collective beliefs about (in)appropriate conduct, they illumine the agrarian origins of indigenous laws, especially their patriarchal nature in contemporary modernity. Properly ascertained, these values could form the groundwork for the emergence of a common law in South Africa and beyond.

description: 'Topic: Beyond the Ballot: Rethinking Urban Governance in the Shadows of Democracy
|
||
|
||
|
||
Abstract:
|
||
|
||
Who governs when the state does not deliver? How does this mesh with democracy in principle and practice? South Africa is known for its strong civil society and celebrated democratic ethos. Yet, the governance systems introduced during the democratic transition have largely failed to deliver economic freedom. This lecture brings together two conceptual frameworks - urban governance and participatory democracy - to examine both the promises and the pitfalls of democracy in contemporary South African cities. It reflects on how urban governance actually functions, and who holds the power to shape the city, when citizens feel increasingly disconnected from the outcomes of formal democratic processes. The talk will draw on two decades of innovative participatory research with marginalized residents in South African cities, using visual material from methods such as Photovoice and storytelling. Collectively, these conceptual frameworks and qualitative data indicate that strengthening democratic governance to achieve more justice-oriented service delivery requires an in-depth understanding of the nature, practices, and potential of joint governance - which may be collaborative or conflictual - between government, residents and civil society. Neither state-centric approaches, with their reliance on technical policy solutions, nor formal democratic processes alone have produced just and sustainable service delivery. Instead, I reflect on the role of informal governance and how it contributes to what can be termed a participatory patchwork democracy — a form of everyday democratic practice that builds meaningfully on South Africa’s democratic ethos.

description: 'Topic: Adventures in virology: Exploring how viruses cause disease, and discovering new antiviral strategies
|
||
|
||
|
||
Abstract:
|
||
|
||
Viruses can infect all living organisms, and we call them obligate parasites because they rely entirely on the cellular machinery of the host they infect. Once inside a host, they can reprogram the infected cell, turning it into a copy machine for producing millions of new viruses. The host attempts to defend itself by activating an immune response, setting the stage for the battle of virus versus host. Over the past 20 years, I have studied this battle and uncovered some of the molecular interactions between viruses and hosts that occur in infected cells. In my lecture, I will take you on this journey and discuss how this knowledge helps us understand how viruses cause disease and how it can be used to develop new strategies for discovering antiviral drugs.

description: 'Topic: From the Roots of the Syzygium Tree to the Summit of Mathematical Thinking: Modelling as a Catalyst for Creativity, Criticality and Self-Directed Learning
|
||
|
||
|
||
Abstract:
|
||
|
||
In an era where the ability to think critically, flexibly, and independently is as important as content knowledge, how do we prepare future mathematics teachers to rise to this challenge? This Inaugural Lecture draws on a compelling metaphor—the Syzygium (Water-Berry) tree—to explore how real-world mathematical modelling tasks can nurture creative and self-directed learning in pre-service mathematics teachers. Using deceptively simple yet cognitively rich problems—like estimating the height of a tree, counting the number of leaves on a tree —this research illuminates how context-rich, open-ended tasks stimulate deeper understanding, adaptive reasoning, and the development of modelling competencies. Illuminating engaging pedagogies nested in a constructivist paradigm, this lecture will exemplify how a mathematical project can move beyond textbook exercises to become a pedagogical ‘growing tree’—rooted in authentic inquiry, branching into multiple perspectives, and cultivating the fruits of creative and critical engagement.

description: "Topic: Enhancing the worker role for persons with disabilities: Are we doing enough\n\nEnhancing the worker role for persons with disabilities: Are we doing enough?\nReturning to work for individuals who have sustained a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) remains problematic despite them completing rehabilitation programs. Statistics indicate a high prevalence of TBI in South Africa with many individuals with TBI not returning work. The lack of return to work among TBI survivors are particularly due to factors such as injury severity, pre-injury educational and occupational status, and age at injury. \n\nThere have been many approaches to enable the successful return to work for people with disability and in particular individuals with TBI. However there has been mixed success, with no strong evidence from a South African perspective. Furthermore, despite the legislature that is favourable for the employment of persons with disability, the employment rate remains questionable. So, the question remains: Are we doing enough to enhance the worker role for individuals with disabilities such as traumatic brain injury survivors? \n\nBiography of Professor Shaheed Soeker\nMogammad Shaheed Soeker (PhD) is a Professor and Deputy Dean (Clinical and Community Engagement) in the Faculty of Community and Health Sciences at the University of the Western Cape. After qualifying, he worked as an Occupational Therapist for the Department of Health and as an Incapacity Management Specialist in the Insurance Industry. Thereafter he worked as a consultant to stakeholders in the Medico Legal Industry. \n\nDr Soeker has extensive experience in the area of vocational rehabilitation and work practice model development in occupational therapy. He has published more than 60 articles and chapters in international peer reviewed journals and books. Furthermore, he has been awarded an NRF (Y2) rating in 2017 and (C3) rating in January 2021 and has been called upon to be a keynote speaker at various international conferences.

description: 'Topic: From Muscle Fibres to Performance: Exploring the Biology of Strength, Weakness, and Adaptation
|
||
|
||
|
||
Abstract: Skeletal muscle is vital for movement, posture, and metabolism. Its function depends on units of actin and myosin powered by ATP from energy systems using glucose, glycogen, lactate, and creatine phosphate. We study muscle structure, metabolism, and contractility in humans and wild animals. Through molecular biology, physiology, and biochemistry, we investigate how muscle adapts or declines with age, exercise, disease, and environmental stress. Key focus areas include glucose and lactate metabolism, muscle fatigue and recovery, and early markers of metabolic dysfunction. The flagship “Lactate Study” explores early predictors of insulin resistance in young South African men. Other themes include genetic and environmental drivers of muscle adaptation, chronic disease-related muscle weakness, and exercise as both therapy and stressor. Comparative studies in wild animals further reveal limits of muscle performance linking basic science to health and sport.

||
Biography: Tertius Kohn is an NRF-rated professor in the Department of Medical Bioscience at the University of the Western Cape. His research focuses on skeletal muscle structure, metabolism, and contractility in humans and wild animals to better understand muscle diseases and uncover mechanisms behind superior athletic performance. He earned his PhD at Stellenbosch University and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Cape Town, studying glucose transporters, mitochondrial biogenesis, and exercise regulation.

description: 'Topic: Emotions in African Literature: An Invitation to Study
|
||
|
||
|
||
Abstract:
|
||
|
||
I have been a reader and scholar of African literature for the greater part of my life. In recent years, it has struck me that emotions have not been foregrounded in the Anglophone writing that has come to represent African literature internationally from around the mid-twentieth century. Neither have emotions been identified as a serious and sustained focus in African literature scholarship. This inaugural lecture, through a reading of the work of a few icons of African literature, speculates about some of the complex gendered and racially inflected reasons why emotions have been elided. It uses the emotion of love, in particular, as it emerges in the work of Ghanaian writer Ama Ata Aidoo to interrogate the representation (and misrepresentation) of emotion in the novels of Nigerian writers Chinua Achebe and Wole Soyinka. The concept of the emotion is socially and culturally constructed and is crucial to understanding the constitution of the self and theories of knowledge. It is hoped that this inaugural lecture will inaugurate a broader critical and reflective study of emotions in African literature.

description: "Topic: “Thinking Multilingualism for the future of Historically Marginalised Speakers”\n\nAbstract:\nIn this lecture, I reflect on the notion of multilingualism and its importance for the empowerment of historically marginalized speakers. I first discuss why it is desirable to rethink how we understand multilingualism (as a social and political phenomenon), highlighting the potential of a rethought multilingualism to be an important linguistic and semiotic resource for individuals and communities. I go on to speak to what rethinking multilingualism might imply for constructs such as linguistic repertoire, multilingual practice, agency, voice, linguistic justice and the remaking of speakership in realising the empowerment of historically marginalised speakers. Throughout the talk, I illustrate the arguments with recent work in status and prestige development, and intellectualisation of Kaaps (also known as Afrikaaps) and its speakers. \n\n\nSpeaker Biography:\nQuentin Williams is Director of the Centre for Multilingualism and Diversities Research (CMDR) and Full Professor of Linguistics in the Linguistics Department at the University of the Western Cape (UWC). In 2024, he delivered the Martin Luther King Jr Linguistics Lecture at Michigan University (USA). He is co-editor of the CMDR’s journal Multilingual Margins, founder and chairperson of the Society virrie Advancement van Kaaps (SAK) and an editorial board member of SAK’s flagship journal, Aweh: a journal for minoritized languages. His research interests include but are not limited to multilingualism, linguistic citizenship, popular culture and the intellectualisation of Kaaps (also known as Afrikaaps). His recent books are Struggles for Multilingualism and Linguistic Citizenship (with Tommaso Milani and Ana Deumert) and the Trilingual Dictionary of Kaaps (TDK) (forthcoming 2025). \n\n#IAmUWC #UWCInauguralLecture"
