(Episode 1) Prof. Nyasha Mboti on Apartheid Studies: a New Interdisciplinary Framework
How does harm (oppression, injustice, inequality) persist instead of end? How does life go on? How do people live with harm and in harm’s way?
The problem of the persistence of oppression, harm and injustice is one of the fundamental problems of the 21st century. When will it end? How will it all end? Apartheid Studies (AS) is an emerging interdisciplinary framework which utilises the notion of “apartheid” to study the persistence of harm in human society. It studies how people live with harm and live in harm’s way from the grassroots, that is bottom up rather than top-down. In this episode we talk to Prof. Mboti, who is the founder of this new interdisciplinary field.
This episode is hosted by dr. Sara de Wit, dr. Walter Nkwi and Jasper Krijns.
