Chief Albert Luthuli Research Chair

Research Chair objectives

  • Creating platforms for interdisciplinary research projects: These include archiving of history, creating space that allows for the centering of indigenous knowledge systems, incorporating community knowledges in methodological approaches, and building research networks.
  • Establishing collaboration hubs: These will facilitate engagements between academics, students, activists and grassroots or community members, and serve to host relevant events.
  • Building capacity: This will involve recruitment and supervision of master’s and doctoral students, recruitment of research associates, and mentoring of post-doctoral fellows.
  • Ensuring sustainability: This will be done by fundraising and sourcing external funding.
  • Encouraging engaged scholarship: To be a safe space for relevant community work and projects, where community members and organic intellectuals can move freely with ease through the corridors of the university.
