Growing the Next Generation of Researchers
This book arises out of 12 year's experience with the University of Cape Town's Emerging Researchers Programme, through which upwards of 650 early-career academics have passed. It identifies and promotes awareness of contemporary challenges in the local and global higher education context; explains the intrinsic nature of academia worldwide; provides strategies for individual growth that result in sustained, high-quality research output.
The Emerging Researcher
Divided into three parts, this resource first expands on the origin and implementation of the Emerging Researcher Program (ERP), complemented by critical reflections of the program's first four years. The second and third parts examine the seminar and supervision training programs that constitute core ERP business. These latter selections are based on material developed for and presented at seminars and workshops. Participants in the ERP will gain insight into many program details and understand it as an adaptable model to address many situations both within South Africa and in the broader African context.
I Have Come a Long Way
"If my life and experience is of some interest, it is chiefly so because I have lived through interesting times, in an interesting country, traveled to many interesting places, and been accompanied along the way by interesting folk." John de Gruchy is a renowned South African theologian and an inspiration to many. An expert on the work of the anti-Nazi theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer, De Gruchy is also a local struggle icon in his own right. In this book, we trace his story from his Viking ancestry, via a seafaring grandfather and illegitimate grandmother, to where he became an ecumenical activist for the South African Council of Churches and up to the present. We journey through a South Africa in transition and a rapidly changing global society. Along the way we meet varied, often controversial people, like Albert Luthuli, Jaap Durand, P.W. Botha and Constand Viljoen. With a foreword by his friend Desmond Tutu, this is the tale of an extraordinary life lived to the full.
Theology in Dialogue
In today's society characterized by pluralism and transition, theologyis increasingly being done in conversation with other disciplines-- a process that is challenging narrow conceptions of God'swork in the world. John W. de Gruchy has been at the forefront ofefforts to revision theology as an interdisciplinary task, and thisvolume not only honors de Gruchy's work but uses it as a wellspringfor theology in the twenty-first century. Written by an international team of scholars, the book exploresthe relationship between Christian theology and a wide range ofdisciplines drawn from the arts, humanities, and sciences. Theseengaging chapters reveal the contributions that other facets of lifecan make to Christian thought while also upholding the vitalreligious grounding that theology brings to conversations aboutculture, politics, ethics, history, sociology, and other topics.Contributors: Victoria Barnett Jeremy Begbie Cilliers Breytenbach James R.

The Humanist Imperative in South Africa
This book is an outcome of the conversation that occurred during the five days of intense discussion at two symposia initiated by the New Humanism Project. The struggle for a more humane society is both local and universal, and increasingly these are connected in our time. So while the conversation focused specifically on South Africa, the discussion was neither parochial nor insular in its scope and character. Hopefully, then, people beyond South Africa will find the contents of this book of value for them in terms of their own contexts.

Reconceiving Reproductive Health: Theological and Christian Ethical Reflections
While reproduction is fairly often touched upon in theological and Christian ethical discussions, reproductive health is not. However, reproductive health is a matter of theological and ethical concern. Discussion pertaining to reproductive health includes a number of debates about, for instance, abortion and the termination of pregnancy, reproductive loss, childlessness, infertility, stillbirth, miscarriage and adoption. Additionally, new reproductive possibilities made available by the development of reproductive technology have necessitated theological and ethical reflection on, for example, surrogacy, post-menopausal pregnancies, litter births, single mothers or fathers by choice, in vit...

Faith Negotiating Loyalties
Faith Negotiating Loyalties draws readers into the world of Christian faith in South Africa and the question of loyalties in the new post-apartheid state. It carries out its investigation in two parts. Part one examines Christian faith and loyalty during the first nation-building exercise following the South African War, positioning the creation and contestation of three Christianities corresponding to three nationalisms, each of which imagined South Africa in a particular way, shaping faith accordingly. The idea of an undifferentiated South African Christianity gives way to contesting and contested Christianities, nationalism gives way to nationalisms, and faith emerges in tension with and ...
