Abantu journal launched

17 November 2008

Students in the Department of Social Anthropology have launched an online journal, Abantu, to provide a forum to explore relevance.

Editor Jess Auerbach (seen in the picture with Micah Faure and Nonjabulo Patience Garton) said it is vital that course content is considered at a deeper level than merely once a week before a tutorial, particularly if the skills would be useful in society.

Some of the topics covered in the first edition include the perils of asylum; relationships, music and dance; and space, community and construction at Athlone Stadium.

The journal is available online.
