NEWS FLASH
Canadian UCT alumni are eager to name a room in the new UCT residence, Obz Square, and I hope you will consider joining in the Canadian response if you’ve not already done so.
The work of the Southern Africa Food Lab (SAFL) and the Rural Women's Action Research Project (RWAR) are a good match for UCT's social responsiveness objectives, both in letter and spirit.
Their research not only tackled two critical and complex social issues - food insecurity and the effects of customary law and the Traditional Courts Bill on women in rural South Africa, respectively - but also did so with energy and sensitivity, and offered solutions, to boot.
UCT researchers in the Department of Environmental and Geographical Science are conducting work around some of the world's major dust sources and their contribution in driving global climate dynamics. Click the link below to watch the video.
