Abstract:

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to assess the appraisal of records at the University of Witwatersrand and the University of Venda. Furthermore, the study intends to recommend appraisal of records to recognize African culture, reviewing records management policy to include an element on the appraisal of records, raise awareness on the appraisal of records, capacity building and develop electronic records management strategy to appraise records.Design/methodology/approachThis study is based on the qualitative research technique. The research approach is a multiple case study comparing the previously advantaged and disadvantaged universities in South Africa.FindingsThe study found that archives and records management legislation, archives and records management policy, re-appraisal of records, capacity building are essential for the appraisal of university records. Lack of appropriate appraisal theory and strategy by the University of Witwatersrand and the University of Venda leads to a loss of institutional memory.Research limitations/implicationsThis research is limited to the University of Witwatersrand and the University of Venda. These two institutions are a sample of the state of archiving in South Africa.Originality/valueThere is very little, if any, research on the appraisal of South African universities' records. The outcome of this research will benefit universities that are seeking to develop and implement appraisal strategies.

Abstract:

Twenty-one years ago, on 1 May 1978, an historic workshop was held which led to the formation of the Association for Archivists and Manuscript Librarians (AMLIB). This name was suggested by founder member Dr A M Lewin Robinson, and Dr Moonyean Buys provided the Afrikaans version as well as the format for the Newsletter. Hosted by Professor Reuben Musiker at the University of the Witwatersrand the theme of the workshop was Current Issues Confronting Archivists and Manuscript Librarians. The issues discussed were ‘A Coordinated Collecting Policy, Problems of Copyright, Sensitive Material’ and ‘Care of Collections.’At the end of a stimulating and fruitful day the delegates resolved that an association should be formed and a steering committee was appointed, comprising Maryna Fraser (Barlow Rand Archives), Anna Cunningham (University of the Witwatersrand Library), and Marie Coetzee(University of South Africa Library).

Abstract:

In this article, we set out to publish the results of extensive excavations conducted in the late 1980s and early 1990s by staff and students of the Archaeology Department, University of the Witwatersrand, at two Late Iron Age stone-walled compounds in the western foothills of the Suikerbosrand massif, near Johannesburg. While these two compounds, Sun Shadow and Boschoek, have been extensively cited in the literature, their data have never been published. Here, we analyse the distribution of their collected artefacts, in conjunction with their field maps, to better understand the spatial organisation of these two Molokwane-style stone-walled compounds. We were also interested to assess the merits of revisiting under-analysed archaeological materials housed in the University of the Witwatersrand’s collections. The results revealed frustrating gaps and shortcomings in the collections, but also shed new light on the social organisation of these settlements. Overall, we feel that the exercise was worthwhile and we encourage similar such studies in the future, allowing researchers to explore the scientific potential of the masses of buried treasure within the university’s collections.

Abstract:

This paper charts the history and debates surrounding the introduction of academic, university-based training of nurses in South Africa. This was a process that was drawn out over five decades, beginning in the late 1930s. For nurses, university training was an important part of a process of professionalization; however, for other members of the medical community, nursing was seen as being linked to women's service work. Using the case-study of the University of the Witwatersrand, one of South Africa's premier universities and the place in the country to offer a university-based nursing program, we argue that an historical understanding of the ways in which nursing education was integrated into the university system tells us a great deal about the professionalization of nursing. This paper also recognises, for the first time, the pioneers of this important process.

The review focuses on three functional clusters of biomedical material systems: synthetic (metals, polymers, ceramics, and composites); naturally derived (animal and plant derived); and semi-synthetic or hybrid materials. These clusters have found various applications in healthcare. The overview highlights significant opportunities and emerging advances for these clusters of biomaterials. This is to aid the development of next generation biocompatible and biodegradable materials for medical applications. This offers scientists, engineers, and technologists tremendous potential to advance know-how in new and improved drug delivery systems, tissue engineering, wound dressing, novel antimicrobial agents, and biosensors for lab-on chip diagnostics. The implications and areas for future research directions are further discussed.

Abstract:

This paper presents a model of cognitive therapy that is being developed in the Division of Specialised Education at the University of the Witwatersrand. It is called Mediated Cognitive Therapy (MCT) because it has its roots in traditional cognitive therapy but derives its methodology from Reuven Feuerstein’s theories of Structural Cognitive Modifiability, the Mediated Learning Experience (MLE), and of Cognitive Functions and Dysfunctions (Feuerstein, Rand, Hoffman, & Miller, 1980).

Abstract:

This article explores transformation challenges in postgraduate psychology in the Clinical Masters programme at the University of the Witwatersrand. Although black students form the majority of students in the undergraduate psychology degree programme, this trend is reversed in postgraduate progammes throughout the psychology department, where white students form the bulk of the class and black students make up only a small percentage of the numbers. The research aims to offer a clear and coherent analysis of the underlying inequalities that underpin the racial unevenness between undergraduate and postgraduate psychology classes, while at the same time interrogating the very notions that serve to reproduce this uneven terrain. The research is conducted using both psychology lecturers, and students in undergraduate and postgraduate psychology programs at Wits, and is made up of a sample of twelve in-depth interviews from postgraduate students, undergraduate students and lecturers. These have been analysed qualitatively, using a Thematic Discourse Analysis. Findings centre on the pivotal role that language plays in the subject of racial transformation, both as an indicator of socioeconomic status and as a barrier to the psychology profession. Language is explored for its ideologically bound nature and the ways that this manifests both demographically and institutionally in the University of the Witwatersrand.

Mandela: A Critical Life by Tom Lodge Oxford University Press, 2006 Tom Lodge, a former politics profes sor at South Africa’s University of the Witwatersrand, has written a biography of South Africa’s first democratically-elected president, Nelson Mandela, that follows three earlier biographies by Fatima Meer, Anthony Sampson, and Martin Meredith. Lodge seeks to shed more light on the role of Mandela’s childhood in shaping his leadership qualities; he assesses Mandela’s role in ‘leading from prison’, examines the mythical cult that was consciously developed around his iconic status, and analyses Mandela’s ‘messianic’ leadership of South Africa’s democratic transition...

Abstract:

Almost sixty years ago, Miles C. Burkitt, Lecturer in Prehistory in the University of Cambridge, visited South Africa at the invitation of the University of Cape Town where his former pupil, A.J.H. Goodwin had recently started work. The purpose of the visit was to show Burkitt the sites and elicit his opinions in preparation for the meeting of the British Association in South Africa the following year (Burkitt, 1962, 37; Goodwin, 1958, 32). It seemed appropriate, at a time when the work of South African archaeologists has been denied a hearing by the Southampton World Archaeological Congress, that we should publish an account of recent work there and current perspectives on Southern African prehistory.

Abstract:

The ‘dialectical theory of reactive identification and cultural in-betweenity’ proposed by the Somali psychologist Bulhan, outlines three main identification patterns among the black intelligentsia: ‘capitulation’ to the dominant culture and ideology, ‘revitalisation’ of traditional culture, and ‘radicalisation’ of both so as to arrive at a new and higher synthesis. Three scales (developed by Bulhan, 1980) corresponding to each identification pattern was administered to a group of 66 black students at the University of the Witwatersrand. Rotter's Locus of Control Scale was also administered so as to determine the relationship between the different identification patterns and locus of control. Specific hypotheses were tested, with some being confirmed and some being refuted by means of various psychological instruments. The ‘dialectical theory of reactive identification/cultural in-betweenity’ and the empirical findings are discussed in terms of their applicability to South Africa.

This special issue of Multilingual Margins on the theme of “Space/place matters” has its origin in a doctoral summer school organised in December 2016 by the Department of Linguistics and the Centre for Multilingualism and Diversities Research at the University of the Western Cape as part of a collaboration with the University of Oslo and three other South African universities – Stellenbosch University, University of Cape Town and University of the Witwatersrand – and financed by Research Council of Norway’s programme International Partnerships for Excellent Education, Research and Innovation (INTPART). Doctoral students based in Norway and South Africa attended the summer school, presented their research projects, and were encouraged to submit an article to Multilingual Margins. This was with a view to training budding scholars to deal with the peer-review process of academic publishing. This special issue is the material outcome of this process and includes three articles that have a common interest in unpicking the complex relationship between language and space/place.

Abstract:

William Maxwell Cowan (‘Max’) was born in 1931 in Johannesburg. His father was a former Glasgow shipyard engineer driven by the imminent closure of the Clyde shipyards to seek employment in the mining industry in South Africa. Max's parents had intended him to be a real–estate lawyer. However, after taking the initial courses in languages, economics and history at Witwatersrand University, a short vacation work period as a trainee nurse in a psychiatric hospital had aroused what was to be his lifelong interest in the workings of the brain. Max decided he wanted to transfer to medical school.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to investigate the alignment of archives and records management processes with the overall university management strategy. The South African universities’ strategies are not aligned with records management processes. A qualitative method was used to collect data from the source points through purposeful sampling. At both universities of Venda and Witwatersrand, the study revealed that records management is not align aligned with the university's broad strategy. The findings have practical implications for academic service delivery, governance, compliance and risk exposure. Other related institutions can also use the findings as a reference point in planning the implementation of similar studies.

Abstract:

This study considers the relationship between religious orientation and pressure in 494 first-year Psychology students at the University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa. Religious orientation is defined according to Allport's concepts of intrinsic and extrinsic religious orientation and was measured using the Allport-Ross Religious Orientation Scale-Revised. Pressure is a concept used by Weiten to define the everyday life stress experienced by individuals and was measured in this study using Weiten's Pressure Inventory. The influence of religious affiliation on religious orientation and pressure was also explored. Results revealed few significant differences between intrinsic and extrinsic religious orientation and the types of pressure experienced. Religious affiliation significantly affected religious orientation but had no influence on pressure. These results are discussed in relation to the literature on religion and mental health and well-being.
