DVC Academic Reflective Report

Since 2017, every Dean and Director within the Deputy Vice-Chancellor: Academic line compiles a Reflective Report that Professor Vivienne Lawack then consolidates, including her reflections. The consolidated DVC (Academic) Reflective Report aims to reflect the state of the academic project through the lenses of the seven faculties, together with the academic professional support directorates within this portfolio.

This 2021 Reflective Report contains an overview of our academic approach and decision-making during a tumultuous year, as well as a self-evaluation of the most pertinent work done during the course of the completed Institutional Operation Plan (IOP) 2016-2020.

Celebrating the launch of TheMuseumsLab’s module 3

"Heritage in the African context is something that cannot be defined or constricted to a space where one can 'view' it." These were the words by Professor Ciraj Rassool, University of the Western Cape (UWC) history professor and Director: African Programme in Museum and Heritage Studies. 

Prof Rassool was speaking at TheMuseumsLab Module 3 launch in Cape Town, where the month of September is synonymous with celebrating and embracing our heritage as South Africans. Module 3, goes beyond ‘heritage’ and critically engages with museums and museology in South Africa, with a view to understanding the transformative engagements particularly in the South African context that museums have played in the history and struggles against apartheid and colonialism.
