- ItemOpen AccessBiographies and geographies: Who teaches matters: Reimagining knowledge, belonging and the university(University of Cape Town, 2026) Behari-Leak, KasturiThis article is an expanded scholarly reflection arising from the inaugural lecture Biographies and Geographies: Who Teaches Matters: Reimagining Knowledge, Belonging and the University, delivered at the University of Cape Town in May 2026. Using biography as an epistemic and reflexive resource, the article explores how the histories we inherit and the institutional geographies we inhabit shape what we know, what we teach, how we lead and what we are able to imagine. Its central proposition is that who teaches matters because knowledge is never encountered independently of the knower, and because academic biographies shape what becomes visible, valued, authorised and possible within the university. Drawing on experiences of curriculum transformation, decolonial scholarship, academic staff development and leadership in South African higher education, the article argues for recognition, reflexivity and possibility as important conditions for transforming universities beyond inclusion and representation. It extends the question of who teaches to ask who develops teachers, who leads, and who is permitted to imagine the future university. Against the contemporary pressures of artificial intelligence, automation, efficiency and innovation, the article argues for an understanding of the university as both an epistemic and deeply human project. It concludes through the metaphor of Chapter Zero, the “university of the not-yet”, as a disposition towards what remains unrecognised, emergent and possible, inviting universities to attend to the biographies, geographies and relationships through which more just and pluriversal futures might become thinkable.
- ItemMetadata onlySupport Bath Deposition for Embedded 3D Printing(2020-12-30) Masters, Jessica Siobhan Shelagh; Govender, ReubenIn recent years, the prinKng of som constructs has been aided by the development of embedded 3D printing. A notable form of embedded 3D printing known as freeform reversible embedding of suspended hydrogels (FRESH) was developed and published by Hinton et al in 2015. In FRESH, the print material is deposited into a gel-like support bath which is removed once the print material has set . One of the primary limitations in embedded 3D printing is the size of the support bath. This project aimed to solve this issue through the development of a gel deposition system. A variety of parameters, including nozzle shape and size, the motion of the nozzle and the temperature of the support gel were considered. A peristaltic pump was developed in order to deliver gel to the deposition nozzle. The various components for the gel deposition system were designed, manufactured and assembled, and the effects of motion and temperature on the quality of the support bath and print material were tested. The results of these tests were qualitatively assessed. The testing outcomes indicated that, with further development, the deposition could feasibly be used to deliver support bath material in embedded 3D printing.
- ItemOpen AccessUCT Arbitration and Dispute Resolution Unit (ADRU) Collected Papers Series(UCT ADRU, 2023-02-19) Bosman, Lise; Adams, FaadhilTo inaugurate these Collected Papers, we present a compilation of the works and materials from the African Arbitration Association's 4th Annual Conference, hosted in Cape Town from 12-14 October 2023. This conference – held under the banner "International Arbitration in Africa: Transitions and New Perspectives" – provided a platform for discussing the evolving landscape of international arbitration in Africa. It focused on capturing the currents of change, challenge, and transition in the field, highlighting significant and often positive transformationsin thought and practice. The Co-Editors for this inaugural volume are Lise Bosman and Courtney Kemp.
- ItemOpen AccessThe Exodus Route considering all Biblical Information, Part 2.0(OpenUCT, 2023) Mouton, Hendrik DAll biblical information, geographic information mostly with Google Earth Pro and some archaeological evidence was investigated to determine the exodus routes of Israel as accurately as possible. The plural “routes” is sometimes used because of the distinctive phases of the 40-year journey. Evidence points strongly to the Red Sea crossing to be in the Gulf of Suez and the mountain of Horeb or Sinai to be in Saudi Arabia. Comparing the exodus route information in different books in the Bible and with some identified Google Earth Pro locations also indicates the disobedience of Israel in the last year before entering Canaan by wanting to go their own route. But God forced them by calamities to ask for rescue and to turn around and travel along the border between Edom and Moab eventually to the east of the Jordan river. This is Part 2 of the article.
