Abstract:
The University of Johannesburg acquired The Thinker in April 2019 from Dr Essop Pahad. Over the last decade, The Thinker has gained a reputation as a journal that explores Pan-African issues across fields and times. Ronit Frenkel, as the incoming editor, plans on maintaining the pan-African scope of the journal while increasing its coverage into fields such as books, art, literature and popular cultures. The Thinker is a ‘hybrid’ journal, publishing both journalistic pieces with more academic articles and contributors can now opt to have their submissions peer reviewed. We welcome Africa-centr

Abstract:
During colonialism, African countries were exposed to severe living circumstances and human rights abuses. African nations earned their independence and transitioned to democracy in the post-colonial period. Democracy was touted as a method of creating security, stability, and wealth in African countries, as well as demonstrating Africa's independence. The transition to democratic states was viewed as a necessary step for African countries in order to meet the needs of citizens who had previously been enslaved and whose rights had been violated by colonizers.

Purpose – After almost three centuries of employing western educational approaches, many African societies are still characterized by low western literacy rates, civil conflicts, and underdevelopment. It is obvious that these western educational paradigms, which are not indigenous to Africans, have done relatively little good for Africans. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to argue that the salvation for Africans hinges upon employing indigenous African educational paradigms which can be subsumed under the rubric of ubuntugogy, which the authors define as the art and science of teaching and l

The depiction of Africa in African-American literature constitutes a nuanced and dynamic exploration, unveiling the intricate rapport between African-American writers and the African continent.

Imbued within these representations is a profound quest for identity and a yearning for belonging.

AbstractAlthough many bioethicists have given attention to the special health issues of Africa and to the ethics of research on the continent, only a handful have considered these issues through the lens of African moral thought. The question has been for the most part neglected as to what a distinctively African moral perspective would be for the analysis and teaching of bioethics issues. To address the oversight, the authors of this paper describe embarking on a project aimed at incorporating African moral perspective, values and philosophy into a teaching curriculum.

Abstract This article presents the author’s development and teaching of a year-long module on Africa in Greco-Roman literature and its receptions, and the challenges of imagining a decolonized pedagogy in Classics, and specifically in the subfield of Greco-Roman literature. It argues that the equivalence of curriculum ‘diversification’ with ‘decolonization’ can be pernicious in its tokenizing effects, and that a committed practice of decolonizing pedagogy cannot be limited to studying Africa in Greco-Roman texts, but should involve serious engagement with postcolonial and critical race theoris

Purpose There is a growing desire for more scientific and technical knowledge regarding Africa. This is because Africa has the potential and opportunity to generate impactful research. However, this potential is not optimized because of several constraints, including the lack of systematic reviews and models of knowledge management and paradoxical trends in Africa. The purpose of this paper is to review studies on knowledge management and associated paradoxes in Africa and a paradox-conscious African knowledge management model.

The conditions of publishing in Nigeria and Ghana are examined in the general context of African publishing in recent decades. In both countries, school textbooks dominate the economics of publishing, attracting profit-hungry multinationals and marginalising home-grown trade publishing. Problems such as the lack of bookselling infrastructure, the underdevelopment of reading habits, and the economic necessity for African authors to secure a readership outside Africa have prompted a number of initiatives to advance the fortunes of African publishers seeking to publish African authored-books serv

(2) Do richer countries conduct more research on the genetics of African elephants? (3) Which attributes influence where scholars conduct their research?
