Paperback / softback

Description

Between 2013 and 2017, a team of researchers from the Human Sciences Research Council undertook a longitudinal qualitative study that tracked eighty students from eight diverse universities in South Africa and documented their experiences at these higher education institutions.

Midway through the study, the student protests erupted and focused national attention on many of the stories we had already heard.

In the subsequent years of the study, we also heard from students who were actively involved in these transformation struggles as well as those who sat on the side-lines. Studying While Black is an intimate portrait of the many ways in which students in South Africa experience university, and the centrality of race and geography in their quest for education and ultimately emancipation.

Students voices can be heard directly in a 45 minute documentary that accompanied this study entitled Ready or Not!: Black students’ experiences of South African universities – freely available on social media.
