5 Preface Dr Saleem Badat, Vice-Chancellor Photo: Sophie Smith Rhodes University is, undoubtedly, one of South Africa s outstanding universities. I take pride when Rhodes is referred to as the Scholarly University. Building on the solid foundation of outstanding pass and graduation rates, amongst the highest per capita research output and percentage of staff with doctorates of South African universities, and an increasingly diverse and cosmopolitan student body, our priorities in the coming years for the support and development of scholarship are three fold. First we plan to become a more postgraduate and research intensive university. To this end, it is our intention to slow our growth in undergraduate numbers to a minimal level, and instead focus on growing the proportion of our postgraduate students from 27% to 30% in the coming years. To this end, a number of new initiatives have already been approved. The Rhodes University Board of Governors have made available an amount of R12.5 million over the next five years to launch the Sandisa Imbewu (We are growing/multiplying our seeds) Fund, to support new initiatives for scholarly projects that enhance postgraduate outputs across all faculties of the university. Three new masters programmes are being launched: Creative Writing, Information Security, and Social Policy. Other developments, such as additional postgraduate and research programmes and new postgraduate residences, are planned to follow. Our second priority is to bid for and host a UNESCO Institute for Water Education and Research. This field already enjoys prominence in teaching, research and community engagement activities across numerous disciplines, and three dedicated research centres, at Rhodes. The scope of our research ranges from studying water at its sources through to the Antarctic, and our contributions extend from municipal waste water management, to working with industry, to national policy advice to government. Water is an increasingly critical issue, and we wish to put our knowledge and expertise to work for the continent, and to become a key hub in Africa for research and postgraduate development related to water. Our third priority is a new Life Sciences building, to ensure that these disciplines continue to thrive in the way they have, and to create space for other highly productive departments to also grow. The achievements of colleagues in Chemistry, in Zoology and Entomology, in Ichthyology and Fisheries, and in Biochemistry, Microbiology and Biotechnology, the most research productive departments at Rhodes University and the 2

6 producers of large numbers of postgraduates, are deservedly celebrated. But the very successes of these departments have resulted in severe space constraints. A new life sciences building is likely to cost in the region of R150 million, and be the largest infrastructure project in the history of Rhodes University. It would provide a consolidated space for cognate life sciences, and also free up space to address the needs of Chemistry, Pharmacy, Biochemistry, Microbiology and Biotechnology, Botany and Environmental Science. The Life Sciences building would follow a spectacular new library, opened in 2010 at a cost of R75 million. This state of the art and high tech facility supports scholarship at Rhodes in ways not previously available to students and staff, including a specialist research commons and powerful new database search tools to enhance literature searches and information aggregation. A new Environmental Learning Centre building, to support the range of outstanding research and postgraduate work being produced at Rhodes in environmental sustainability, was also opened during the period under review. The highly acclaimed Professor Tebello Nyokong, director of the Nanotechnology Innovation Centre at Rhodes, and SARChI Research chair in Medicinal Chemistry and Nanotechnology, continues to attract honours. During 2010, she was awarded two honorary doctorates by other universities. The SARChI Research Chair in Marine Ecosystems, Professor Christopher McQuaid, also attracted widespread intellectual kudos to the university through his influence as a world leader in this field. During 2010, three additional SARChI chairs were awarded to Rhodes University. Two chairs - for Professor Marc Schafer and Professor Mellony Graven - were in Mathematics education. The third chair, an SKA (Square Kilometre Array) chair, was in Astrophysics. This brings to 5 the number of National SARChI chairs that Rhodes has thus far won. The SKA award is recognition of the leading role that Rhodes University plays in the SKA project, through the work of Professor Justin Jonas and his colleagues. The Vice-Chancellor s Distinguished Senior Research Award for 2010 was conferred on Professor Alan Hodgson, of the Department of Zoology & Entomology, for the national and international impact of his research over a sustained period. The Vice-Chancellor s Distinguished Research Award (in the age group 40 and below) for 2010 was awarded to Professor Janice Limson of the Department of Biochemistry, Microbiology and Biotechnology, for the volume and impact of her research outputs to date. Dr Anton Krueger of the Drama Department was the recipient of the Vice-Chancellor s Book Award for 2010, for his book entitled Experiments in Freedom: Explorations of Identity in New South African Drama (Cambridge, 2010). In the Humanities and Social Sciences, following a rigorous competitive process of applications, four research focus areas were 3

7 launched using generous funding from the Mellon Foundation. The focus areas and their leaders are: Critical Sexual and Reproductive Health Studies, led by Professor Catriona MacLeod of the Department of Psychology and Professor Louise Vincent of the Department of Political and International Studies. Visual and Performing Arts of Africa The Audacity of Place: Geopolitics and the Arts of Africa, led by Professor Ruth Simbao of the Department of Fine Art. South African Literature in Focus, led by Professor Dirk Klopper of the Department of English. Media and Citizenship: Between marginalization and participation, led by Professors Herman Wasserman and Anthea Garman of the School of Journalism and Media Studies. number awarded to a single university. Consider that we constituted only 0.8% of South Africa s university students, yet we won 15% of all Mandela Rhodes scholarships. I extend my congratulations and sincere thanks to all of our researchers, scholars, collaborators, partners, donors and funders, for their contributions to making 2010 a year in which research at Rhodes University continued to flourish. Your expertise, dedication, rigour and generosity make Rhodes University the rich and distinctive intellectual space that it is. Dr Saleem Badat Vice-Chancellor Rhodes postgraduate students continue to excel in winning prestigious international and local scholarships, including the Rhodes (Oxford), Mandela Rhodes, Flanagan, Commonwealth, and Fulbright. Four out of 27 Mandela Rhodes scholarships were awarded to Rhodes University students, the largest 4

8 Introduction Dr Peter Clayton, Deputy Vice-Chancellor: Research and Development In 2010, the total subsidy earning accredited research output count for Rhodes University of units represents an increase of 9% on the previous year. By far the major contributor to this growth was the significant increase in both PhD (37.5% up on 2009) and Masters by thesis students (34.5% up on 2009). Rhodes contributed 3.3% of all accredited research output in the public higher education sector in 2010 (0.1% up on 2009). With 1.9% of academic staff in the system, Rhodes retained its place amongst the top three most productive universities as measured by accredited publications per academic. Rhodes exceeds the DHET research output norm for universities by 53%. In 2010, the total accredited publication output count for Rhodes University of units represented a decline over 2009 of 7.3 percent. This followed two years of steep growth during which accredited research publication output grew by 28%. Accredited publication output for 2010 consisted mainly of journals at 89.9%, with conference proceedings at 7.2% and books and book chapters at 2.9% making far smaller contributions. This mix is roughly in line with the sector as a whole. It has been recognised that books and book chapters are underappreciated in relation to journals, and recommendations to increase the weighted points that they attract as proposed by ASSAf 1 are awaiting approval by the DHET. Rhodes continues to lose accreditation points for books and book chapters submitted, because the hurdle of independent reviewing is not always met by the publishing avenues chosen by authors. The University has become increasingly reliant on research funding in recent years as a larger proportion of its budget, and attention at university council level is being given to ensuring that appropriate systems and support structures for researchers are in place. I add my warm thanks and congratulations to all of our researchers, funders, collaborators and partners who contributed to the excellent research results of Dr Peter Clayton Deputy Vice-Chancellor: Research and Development 1 ASSAf: Scholarly Books: their production, use and evaluation in South Africa today, Photo: Adrian Frost 5

9 The Vice-Chancellor s Distinguished Senior Research Award: Professor Alan Hodgson Photo: Sophie Smith As an undergraduate student at Liverpool University, Alan Hodgson was one of only a few in his year to be selected for the Honours course in Marine Biology which was taught at the university s marine biology station on the Isle of Man. It was here that he became especially fascinated with how marine organisms are adapted morphologically and physiologically to their environment. Since then he has been doing what he enjoys most, trying to understand relationships between structure and function in marine invertebrates, especially in species that live in harsh environments such as rocky shores, estuaries and more recently deep-sea hydrothermal vents and methane seeps. Professor Hodgson is also quick to acknowledge the support of Rhodes University and his colleagues, valuing the institutional and departmental collegial atmosphere and research environment These small creatures play a crucial role in the maintenance of natural ecological systems. Over the years, however, he has not confined himself to marine habitats, but has also studied species living in freshwater streams and in deserts. During his career, his research work has taken him to many parts of the world including Australia, Hong Kong, Israel, Namibia, Panama, USA, UK and Germany. These visits have been made possible through close collaborations with colleagues. However, Professor Hodgson is also quick to acknowledge the support of Rhodes University and his colleagues, valuing the institutional and departmental collegial atmosphere and research environment. Professor Hodgson s research career began as an Honours student at Liverpool where a research project, and research seminars by staff and postgraduate students, formed important components of the course. It was the opportunity to undertake a unique piece of research that convinced him that this was a career path he wanted to follow. This conviction was re-enforced during his doctoral research at the University of Manchester, which he completed in three years. However it was as a postgraduate student that he also found that he enjoyed the challenge of teaching, and he was therefore determined to remain in an academic environment. One week after defending his PhD thesis he was on a plane to take up a Junior Lectureship in Zoology at the University of Cape Town, moving two years later to a Lectureship position at Rhodes University. At Rhodes he was able to pursue and further develop his interest in invertebrate morphology by making use of the university s excellent electron microscope facilities. 6

10 The Vice-Chancellor s Distinguished Senior Research Award: Professor Alan Hodgson In recognition of his contribution to the field of invertebrate reproduction, Professor Hodgson has been invited to give plenary lectures at international conferences, as well as lectures at numerous international universities At first his work concentrated on examining the location, types and structure of peripheral sensory receptors of marine molluscs such as clams, snails and limpets. Such receptors are of vital importance to these animals as they inform them about their environment, such as changes in the salinity of the surrounding water, presence of food, pollutants, or even predators. The morphological work was supported by experimental studies that monitored the physiological responses of these animals to environmental change. In addition, he also studied the structure of the body musculature of these soft-bodied animals, relating this to how the types of muscle bring about and control movement or incredible extensions of parts of the body. However, in the mid-1980s he turned his attention to the subject of invertebrate reproduction, which is perhaps the most significant event in the life of any organism. Although Professor Hodgson has studied a number of aspects of the reproductive biology of invertebrates, especially molluscs, it is his detailed work on invertebrate gamete formation and structure using electron microscopy that has brought him the greatest recognition. This is reflected by the regular citations his papers receive, as well as invitations to contribute review chapters to research texts. At some stage in their life history, the majority of invertebrates engage in sexual reproduction. This requires the production of gametes, spermatozoa by the males and eggs by the females. For successful fertilization to occur, the gametes must be formed correctly, and then they must meet. Detailed studies on the morphology of spermatozoa and eggs provide important insights into how this is achieved. Furthermore, because the spermatozoon of each species is morphologically unique, information on sperm structure can be used to look at evolutionary relationships between animal groups. In some male invertebrates, however, sperm production is not that straightforward. The males of many gastropod molluscs, for example, simultaneously produce more than one type of sperm, one type that has the capability of fertilizing an egg, and a second that is not directly involved in the fertilization event. In many instances the exact function(s) of these non-fertilizing sperm is not known. The results from Professor Hodgson s work have contributed substantially to our knowledge of the diversity of male gamete structure, as well as an understanding of the biology of fertilization of invertebrates, and the evolutionary relationships of some invertebrate taxa. One measure of the quality of Professor Hodgson s work is the inclusion of results from his publications in numerous research texts and reviews. In addition, some of the images from his publications have been used on the covers of international journals. Being awarded a B-rating by the National Research Foundation in 2000 is further testament to the high quality and impact of his research at an international level. Furthermore, he joined an elite band of scientists when, in 2004, he was awarded the degree of Doctor of Science from the University of Manchester for his career-long body of research on invertebrate structure and function. However, this career is far from over as he says that There has never been a better time for students to unravel the many mysteries of animal structure. This is because of the tremendous development in microscope and imaging technology, coupled with significant advances in techniques that enable us to follow biochemical and molecular processes within cells. Academic standing Professor Hodgson is considered a highly productive researcher at Rhodes in terms of publication output and postgraduate supervision, despite being the Head of the Department of Zoology & Entomology since 7

He has attracted a number of grants including some for equipment, which have enhanced the research capabilities of the University. He has also been very active in local and There has never been a better time for students to unravel the many mysteries of animal structure. This is because of the tremendous development in microscope and imaging technology, coupled with significant advances in techniques that enable us to follow biochemical and molecular processes within cells international scientific societies, serving on the organising committees of several local and two major international conferences, one of which he single-handedly ran at Rhodes in In addition, he served as President of the Zoological Society of southern Africa ( ), and President of the International Society for Invertebrate Reproduction and Development ( ). In recognition of his contribution to the field of invertebrate reproduction, Professor Hodgson has been invited to give plenary lectures at international conferences, as well as lectures at numerous international universities. He has served on a number of scientific and policy committees, has been invited to referee articles for 35 scientific journals, was editor of African Zoology for 8 years and is currently co-editor of Invertebrate Reproduction and Development. He is also regularly involved in reviewing various local and international research programmes. Professor Hodgson was awarded the prestigious Gold Medal of the Zoological Society of southern Africa in 2007 and was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of South Africa in The 2010 Vice Chancellor s Distinguished Senior Research Award is particularly meaningful to him as the selection for this award requires strong support by the nominee s peers. 8

12 The Vice-Chancellor s Distinguished Research Award: Professor Janice Limson A young researcher on an upward trajectory different. No run of the mill desk, this one. As the interview progresses I realise that the desk is a good match for its owner. The impact of her peer reviewed publications can be measured by the more than 600 citations of her work in the scientific literature Photos: Sophie Smith My meeting with Professor Janice Limson takes place in her office, way up in the heights of the Biological Sciences building. A wall of windows looks out over the suburbs to the hills beyond Grahamstown, but the view is not what draws my attention first. As Professor Limson offers me a seat in her well-ordered office, with personal touches that hint at a life beyond its walls, I am struck by the exquisite piece of natural wood which constitutes her desk. It is solid, vibrant and real. And it s Professor Limson does not speak easily about herself or her considerable achievements. I get the sense of someone who spends much of her time looking forward, focussing on the job at hand or on planning for the next project or challenge. She was therefore both surprised and delighted to be named recipient of the Vice-Chancellor s Distinguished Research Award in Although, as her CV reveals, Limson is no stranger to awards and accolades, the Research Award was particularly meaningful for her as it represented recognition of her research and contribution on home ground by her peers and colleagues. Rhodes University has been academic home to Professor Limson since her undergraduate days. She completed a BSc (Honours) here in 1994 and a PhD in Chemistry under Professor Tebello Nyokong, co-supervised by Professor Santy Daya in At some point during 9

13 these years she had the singular distinction of being Chairperson of both the Chemistry Society and the Reggae Appreciation Society (started by Limson and her sister and still going strong) at the same time. Could this be one of the reasons why she has featured for two years running (2009 and 2010) on the Mail and Guardian s Top 200 Young South Africans to take out to lunch list? After a time in the United States on a postdoctoral fellowship she had no plans to return to Grahamstown permanently, but on a brief holiday was persuaded to put in an application for post-doctoral fellowship with the Neuroscience Research Group. A prestigious Andrew Mellon Lectureship followed and neither Limson nor the Rhodes community have looked back. Limson s referees for the Research Award describe her as a dedicated and high achieving academic, who has established an excellent research publication track record. The impact of her peer reviewed publications can be measured by the more than 600 citations of her work in the scientific literature. As another referee commented, her career is clearly on an upward trajectory. This trajectory saw her appointed Head of Biotechnology in the Department of Biochemistry, Microbiology & Biotechnology in 2009, promoted to Associate Professor in 2010 and elected Chairperson of the Rhodes University School of Biotechnology (RUBiSco) Steering Committee, a role she will take up in 2011 with a view to driving a strong programme towards research commercialisation and innovation. She also currently serves on the boards of three commercial companies within South Africa s growing biotechnology sector. The challenge, always, is to continue to deliver a scholarly programme rooted in both fundamental and applied teaching principles, but which can meaningfully address environmental and socio-economic priorities and align with the government s priorities in innovation and technology transfer Limson s vision for RUBiSco and for biotechnology at Rhodes, is shared by colleagues in various intersecting fields: To advance as the premier South African hub for biotechnology scholarly endeavours and technology driven research for the benefit of all. And this vision is not at all far-fetched. Rhodes University is the original home of biotechnology in South Africa. It was launched here as an academic programme twenty one years ago, explains Limson. Biotechnology is a tricky interdisciplinary field, which arises at the interface between chemistry, engineering and the biological sciences. Innovation and product development are the primary drivers of biotechnology research and it therefore requires a shift in mind-set from fundamental science. Biotechnology s mandate is to create new products which bring about change and it has various applications which benefit human and environmental health as well as impacting on socio-economic growth. For this reason, Biotechnology is regarded as one of the National priority fields and this emphasis is driving a lot of progress. It s a good field to be working in right now, says Limson. There is a lot of positive reinforcement for what we are doing, both nationally and internationally. Limson hopes to secure solid funding in order to consolidate, sustain and strengthen the wealth of existing research and academic pursuits in the field at Rhodes. She believes that key roleplayers such as the Institute for Environmental Biotechnology (EBRU), the Biomedical Biotechnology Research Unit (BioBRU), the DST/Mintek Nanotechnology Innovation Centre and biotechnology researchers in Microbiology and Biochemistry, as well as Pharmacy, will all benefit from a more coordinated approach. Limson is aware of both the possibilities and the challenges: The challenge, always, is to continue to deliver a scholarly programme 10

14 The Vice-Chancellor s Distinguished Research Award: Professor Janice Limson rooted in both fundamental and applied teaching principles, but which can meaningfully address environmental and socio-economic priorities and align with the government s priorities in innovation and technology transfer. If we can get it right in South Africa it will be incredible. We need research that is sustainable; that offers benefits for all South African people, not just a few; that grows the scientific base in South Africa and that increases South Africa s international standing. Limson hopes that her position as Chairperson will allow her to take up a more strategic role as all this can only happen if we adopt a strategic approach. Having said this however, Professor Limson would not want to let go of her own research passion in the field of biosensors. Biosensor research The research itself is what drives me, explains Limson. But it is not simply research for the sake of research. It is located very firmly within a real world context, driven by the hope that it will have an impact on disease detection and prevention as well as having a positive socio-economic impact within South Africa. Professor Limson established the BioSENS (Sensors, Energy and Nanomaterials) Research Group in 2003 and continues to lead its work in the design and development of biosensors. These are sensitive instruments which are These interests have guided a woman of intellect and passion into a burgeoning field where she is making a significant contribution to the construction of knowledge, its application to real world problems and the nurturing of the next generation of South African scientists used to detect and measure biological targets. For example, they can be geared towards early detection of diseases such as cancer and malaria, the rapid identification of beneficial compounds in plants, and the monitoring of environmental pollutants such as pesticides or heavy metals in water. Using biosensors she has also examined and identified new pathways by which the human brain protects itself from disease. Her research was given a huge boost by the establishment of the DST/Mintek-sponsored Nanotechnology Innovation Centre at Rhodes which provides access to state of the art technology and allows researchers to view the nanomaterials and their interactions with sensor electrodes on a nanoscale. And in an electrifying, exciting recent development, Limson co-convened a Sensors for Africa seminar which brought together top scientists in the field from around the world to 11

15 discuss the challenges of developing rapid, cost-effective and robust sensors which will offer real solutions for African problems. She was gratified by the positive will amongst participants who have now formed a consortium to apply for grants and to take the research forward. Scientists at the World Health Organisation (WHO) have lent support to the project. It s clear that Limson s ability to make connections and draw people together around shared concerns has been key to this new development. Science Communication Another passion for Professor Limson is the accurate and accessible communication of scientific knowledge to the general public. To this end, in 2001 Limson established Science in Africa, an online science magazine, largely in response to her own frustration at the poor quality of science reporting in Africa. She believes that this contributes significantly to the perception that good science doesn t happen in Africa. A further effect is that science discourse is not made accessible to decision-makers on various levels. With characteristic energy and drive, and despite having no particular background in either journalism or computers, Limson got hold of The Idiot s Guide to Web Design and launched the magazine. As editor-in-chief, and with the support of journalists and scientists, she has produced the monthly issues over a period of ten years. She is therefore justifiably proud of the awards that the magazine has earned: a National Science & Technology Forum award (2002) for an outstanding contribution to Science, Engineering & Technology in South Africa; a Highway Africa Innovative use of New Media in Africa Journalism Award (2003); and a World Summit Award (2003). It s clear that Limson s ability to make connections and draw people together around shared concerns has been key to this new development After a brief hiatus in 2011, the magazine will be relaunched in January 2012 with a broader support base which will hopefully ensure longterm sustainability. Back to the beginning As the interview draws to a close, I am thinking about Professor Janice Limson s many and varied talents and I ask what particularly drew her to a career in the sciences. Limson s immediate response: My mother, I think. Her mother s profession as a nurse meant that medical language was part of Janice s earliest discourse. Or was it my father with his perpetual enquiring mind? Then she is quiet for a moment, clearly sorting through some memories before giving a little chuckle. Actually, the skeleton probably had a lot to do with it. When Janice was six years old her grandfather (perhaps detecting an interest already) gave her a little plastic skeleton and Janice was soon obsessed with learning the name of every single bone. She became fascinated with anatomy and with how the human body works. She laughs again: I was also obsessed with snakes. Freud would have a field day with my childhood interests. Whatever Freud would say, he could not argue that these interests have guided a woman of intellect and passion into a burgeoning field where she is making a significant contribution to the construction of knowledge, its application to real world problems and the nurturing of the next generation of South African scientists.

16 The Vice-Chancellor s Book Award: Anton Krueger, Experiments in Freedom Book Award: Anton Krueger, Experiments in Freedom The Vice-Chancellor s Book Award seeks to identify a recent book published by a staff member whose scholarly activities advances knowledge and understanding, as well as bringing definite credit to the University by virtue of the contribution it makes to scholarly literature, or the discipline within which it is authored. Is it possible for theatre and its performance to assist in reinventing and questioning static notions of identity in Post-apartheid contexts? Is theatre and playwriting still stuck in the stagnant binary representations of self and other which characterised identity constructions under Apartheid? These possibilities are emphasised in Experiments in Freedom (2010) by Anton Krueger, who argues the significance of theatre as a cultural product which can instil and encourage new perspectives on identity. Reviewers, both local and international have affirmed the relevance of Experiments. One such reviewer states that the book is, [W]ell written...maps an important field of research with intellectual rigour and exemplary fairmindedness, and negotiates a complicated route through a plethora of contentious artistic manifestoes and critical opinions with sophistication and maturity. Krueger, in line with the rhizomatic (postmodern) theories of Gille Deleuze and Félix Guattari, argues for, and encourages a search for identities beyond binaries. Krueger also acknowledges the necessity of re-framing our perceptions on identity, noting that social constructions of identity are still largely viewed through racial parameters This search is focused on the marginal space of theatre and playwriting in South Africa. Experiments in Freedom analyses play texts as cultural signs mediating and articulating a semiology of identity. The book is focused on the politics of identity as articulated in Post- Apartheid play texts (written in English) from The issues [Experiments in Freedom] addresses...could not be more relevant or topical...krueger strikes a pleasing balance between the scholarly and the polemical...his tendentiousness is transparent, bold, even refreshing: it carries the force of his conviction and his experience as a South African and a dramatist in his own right. The analysis centres on the expressive qualities of textual narration and characterisation within these plays and includes some of South Africa s most well-known playwrights; Reza De Wet, Athol Fugard, Zakes Mda, Anthony Ackerman, Mike van Graan, Greig Coetzee, Brett Bailey and Mpumelelo Paul Grootboom 13

17 as well as brief excursion into the role of Physical Theatre in South Africa. An academic study dedicated to exploring South African drama could easily be viewed as a turgid exercise in promoting scholarly jargon, but Anton Krueger s lucid and sharp interrogation of recent South African play texts should interest far more than the handful of dwindling theatre historians who are still alive and well in South Africa The particularity of the South African social climate with its unstable past and future insecurities could be deemed a perfect fit for this study on identity. Krueger notes that, South Africans are in the very fortunate position of having their multiple allegiances made visible to them on a daily basis. The plays under analysis, are specifically involved in processes that attempt to let go of previous adherence to rigid identifications. Anton Krueger notes in his conclusion, Perhaps being permitted to develop paradoxical identities is what it means to be free. In Experiments in Freedom, Krueger s giftedness as a scholar refuses to fit neatly into one discipline or theoretical perspective. The question of identity is explored through theories gleaned from sociology, philosophy, anthropology, reflecting an inter-disciplinary approach seminal to performance studies research. It is, therefore quite interesting that Krueger holds a PhD in Literature from the University of Pretoria, has himself published numerous plays, poetry and recently a novella Sunnyside Sal. In 2011 he will publish a collection of poetry titled Everyday Anomalies. Krueger is also involved in the creation of theatre as a producer, director and performer. An active researcher, Krueger richly contributes to the scholarly output of Rhodes University. He is a consistent academic researcher and regularly attends conferences and publishes academic papers. Anton Krueger has presented papers at conferences on philosophy, literature and theatre in South Africa, as well as in Australia, Russia, the Netherlands, Finland, China, Argentina, Germany, Wales and Portugal. He has published articles in the South African Theatre Journal, English in Africa, De Arte, Scrutiny2, Current Writing and has reviewed books and drama for The Sunday Independent, the Mail and Guardian, Wordstock and Cue. Experiments in Freedom has been praised for its theoretically inter-disciplinary approach to the play-texts under discussion. As one reviewer observes, An academic study dedicated to exploring South African drama could easily be viewed as a turgid exercise in promoting scholarly jargon, but Anton Krueger s lucid and sharp interrogation of recent South African play texts should interest far more than the handful of dwindling theatre historians who are still alive and well in South Africa. Krueger describes Experiments as an intersection between performance and literature. As a lecturer in the Drama Department at Rhodes University he is particularly interested in this intersection as a supervisor of the Creative Writing paper for undergraduates and Post-graduates. Although Krueger questions the validity of trying to squeeze art into academic research and teaching, and he acknowledges that the university is one of the few spaces that accommodates and encourages non-commercial ventures and explorations. Krueger s Experiments in Freedom, as the title suggests, frames Post Apartheid identities (within the play text) as experimental processes within transition. As one reviewer notes, His thorough survey of themes in post apartheid drama provides a multiplicity of approaches to the problematic concept of freedom in a South African context. Drawing from Post-modern theories on identity construction, Krueger argues that performance texts are able to fulfill a transformative function within society. Theatre not only describes or 14

18 The Vice-Chancellor s Book Award: Anton Krueger, Experiments in Freedom reflects identity formations but it can be a site for the reinvention of identities. In the Postmodern vein he argues against the idea that identities are fixed or stable (as they were constructed in Apartheid) and that our inability to form a consensus of a South African identity is a healthy sign. Krueger s Experiments in Freedom, as the title suggests, frames Post Apartheid identities (within the play text) as experimental processes within transition Krueger also acknowledges the necessity of re-framing our perceptions on identity, noting that social constructions of identity are still largely viewed through racial parameters. Another reviewer notes that In this sense the book is inspiring as it recognises the great possibilities of individuals to redefine themselves and it challenges artists of all kinds to question what they have done with their freedom. Where apartheid gave us a single oppressive narrative, now we have many stories to tell and surely many stories are preferable to any single story." Experiments in Freedom is a well articulated contribution to the field of performance studies. As one reviewer suggests the book deserves a "valuable place in its field [and] should be a compulsory text in South African and international libraries." This carefully crafted book is one which pays tribute to the scholarly ingenuity of Rhodes University. Sonja Smit 15

19 Selected Research Areas Professor Christopher McQuaid receives the prestigious Gilchrist Award In the office of one of South Africa s most prestigious marine scientists you d expect the walls to be filled with the long list of awards and medals behind his name. Instead, Professor Christopher McQuaid s laboratory is stacked with sample bottles containing mussels, posters of marine animals and mysterious freezers and fridges. I knew before I even spoke to him that this is a man dedicated to his profession. Although he is grateful for the acknowledgment he received for his work, he does not fail to recognise and praise his research team Professor Christopher McQuaid is a marine biologist at Rhodes University and holds the chair of the South African Research Chair Initiative (SARChI) in Marine Ecosystems. He was recently the recipient of the Gilchrist Award, which is only presented every three years to a distinguished marine scientist. According to the South African Network for Coastal and Oceanic Research (Sancor) the medal is awarded for outstanding contributions to the improvement of marine and coastal science in South Africa, to stimulate excellence in South African marine science and to focus attention on South Africa s marine and coastal environments. The [recipient s] contribution shall normally, but not exclusively, be significant, published scientific work to the advancement of science in the marine and coastal environment. Professor McQuaid regards the Gilchrist medal as a lifetime achievement award. In 30 years he has put out more than 180 publications. He attributes this to hard work. I do it because I m interested in it and I do it because it s my job. I was employed to teach and to do research, so that is what I did. Now I m getting paid to do research and train postgraduate students, so that is what I do. Although he is grateful for the acknowledgment he received for his work, he does not fail to recognise and praise his research team. They give the award to one person who is me, but my work involves students, post doctoral researchers and collaborators. We are a team. Professor McQuaid has also been the recipient of numerous other awards including Rhodes University s Vice-Chancellor s Junior and Senior Distinguished Research Awards. His career in marine biology derives from a series of coincidences. It s almost an accident that I am a marine biologist. His general interest in biology began with ants and then the Himalayan Thars on Table Mountain, but he says that no one would supervise the ant 16

20 Professor Christopher McQuaid work and there was no funding for the research on Thars, So I ended up working on rocky shores. He regards the research of the invasive mussel as a very extensive piece of work and acknowledges the hard work of students Professor McQuaid has wide interests in the ecology of rocky shores because of the extreme environmental gradients. Most of the creatures are marine animals but when the tide goes down the animals are exposed to air and sun for very long periods. Some of these animals might only get splashed every few weeks in this stressful environment. Interaction between indigenous and invasive mussels Invasive species are one of the biggest threats to biodiversity and coastal ecosystems are amongst the most threatened, largely because of the importance of shipping in or accidently transporting species around the world. The Mediterranean mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis) has invaded every continent except Antarctica and is the most successful invasive marine species along the South African coast. Biological invasions create several interactions between native and invasive species including predation, competition or parasitism, and these interactions determine the viability of both the native and the invasive species in any particular situation. Professor McQuaid and his research team are examining these interactions between the indigenous and the invasive mussels. The latest discovery in Professor McQuaid s research is the finding of two genetic lineages of the indigenous Perna perna mussel. The mussels are of the same species, but you could think of them being as being like people with blue or brown eyes, they are the same species, but genetically different. These two lineages overlap in the region between Kenton and Haga Haga on the south coast. The researchers found that the Mytilus reaches its eastern limits in the same area and examined the competition between the invasive mussel and the two lineages of Perna perna. They found that the Perna west (let s call them blue eyes) doesn t compete well against the Mytilus, while the Perna east (brown eyes) does. Professor McQuaid says this might be a reason why the Mytilus mussel has not spread farther east along the coast. In the context of invasive species being the greatest threat to biodiversity, Professor McQuaid views this discovery as an example of how hidden biodiversity (the genetic diversity within species) can buffer the ecosystem against invasive species. He regards the research of the invasive mussel as a very extensive piece of work and acknowledges the hard work of students for probably the most comprehensive examination of interaction between invasive and indigenous species. Dispersal of mussel larvae Another direction of research Professor McQuaid is interested in is the dispersal of mussel larvae. Mussels utilise external fertilisation which means the two sexes release sperm and eggs into the sea to produce veliger larvae. At this stage in life the larvae is a free living, planktonic organism that potentially enhances dispersal to new regions far from the adult mussels. Joining the adult population involves the larvae coming out of the plankton and settling on the shore, and settlement is a key process. Studies on mussels indicate that the larvae are transported passively and are affected by a wide range of factors including the seasonality of production, hydrodynamics, water temperature, geography and topography which all have effects at different spatial scales. The larvae move around in the ocean and you have no idea where they are going to be moved to and you have no idea how many offspring you are going to have next year, Professor McQuaid says. This makes the link between adult populations and the recruitment of new members into the population fundamentally different from most terrestrial 17

21 situations. If you have a field of sheep you have a rough idea of how many lambs you will have next year, the situation is totally different for something like a mussel. Professor McQuaid is also exploring an oceanographic phenomenon called upwelling He explains the reason for their research. In many parts of the world, including this country, marine animals are exploited for food and are often over-exploited. This is especially problematic in the case of mussels because they are the main target of exploitation in places such as the Eastern Cape and, critically, they provide habitat for a wide range of other species. Such species are called ecological engineers and have a critical role in conserving biodiversity. If you can manage natural mussel populations, this will help to manage biodiversity. You can set up a marine reserve to protect the [indigenous mussel] population, and they will produce offspring that can recolonise over-exploited areas where mussels have been eliminated. The question is how big do you make the reserves and how far apart do you make them? This depends on how far the offspring travel. He further explains that it is impossible to follow the larvae. They are in the water for a month; they are microscopic; you cannot see them, tag them or track them. You know where they arrive on the shore but you do not know where they come from. It is important to know the distance the larvae journey to design the marine reserves or to simply manage the natural population. Upwelling Professor McQuaid is also exploring an oceanographic phenomenon called upwelling. This involves wind-driven currents that bring deeper, cooler and nutrient-rich water towards the sea surface replacing the warmer, usually nutrient-depleted surface water. Deep waters are usually rich in nutrients - the result of decomposition of sinking matter from the surface. The nutrients are consumed by phytoplankton, along with dissolved carbon dioxide and light energy from the sun, to produce organic compounds through photosynthesis. These upwelling regions therefore result in very high levels of primary production in comparison to other areas of the ocean. Around the world there are major fisheries linked to this phenomenon, so the effect on the pelagic ecosystem is obvious. In contrast the effects of upwelling on coastal organisms are still very poorly understood and there are implications for how these communities are structured. A few case studies have been conducted comparing the coasts of North California with South California and East New Zealand with West New Zealand, but in both cases the sample size was effectively one upwelling coast and one non-upwelling coast. Professor McQuaid believes the first rule of statistics is let n > 2, so an accurate comparison should have a sample size of at least two. For example, the coasts of North and South California may differ for any number of reasons apart from the effects of upwelling. He is collaborating with colleagues in Chile and Argentina to do an intercontinental study comparing the west coasts of Africa and South America with their east coasts giving a barely acceptable sample size of two. Southern Ocean Group The Southern Ocean group is a dynamic and productive research group based at Rhodes University s Department of Zoology and Entomology. It is primarily concerned with the sub-antarctic Prince Edward Islands. The research group is involved in a five-year program on biological oceanography in collaboration with a physical oceanographic research group at the University of Cape Town. The Prince Edward Islands have an enormous population of land-based predators such as seals, elephant seals and sea birds, including penguins and albatrosses. Marion Island is home to 40% of the world s wandering albatrosses. Primary production around the islands is high relative to the open ocean, but is still insufficient to meet the energetic 18

22 Professor Christopher McQuaid demands of the land-based predators, especially because breeding and moulting are energetically expensive. One focus of the Southern Ocean Group has been investigating the mechanisms that allow the islands to support these huge populations of predators. The Southern Ocean is not a homogenous water mass, but forms bodies of water with different physical and chemical properties that form concentric rings around the Antarctic continent. Much of the Southern Ocean is a biological desert; storms are so frequent that the water column is rarely stable enough to allow primary production, but these water masses meet at oceanic fronts where biological activity is especially high. For many of the land-based predators, the frontal systems are critical feeding grounds and global warming is causing a contraction of these fronts as warmer water closes in on Antarctica, bringing the feeding grounds closer to the islands. This has resulted in population increases in these animals, but not all the land-based predators feed at the fronts. Others depend on locally generated food that is fuelled by a combination of guano rich freshwater runoff from the islands and stable conditions in the water column. This stability allows the development of phytoplankton blooms, but is disrupted when the fronts lie closer to the islands so that local primary production declines. This situation is made worse by dramatically declining rainfall at the islands. So the conditions that favour one set of animals that feed at the fronts is detrimental to those feeding closer to the islands and these species have shown longterm population declines over several decades. As Professor McQuaid says, The situation is not simple. Challenging ecological theory Professor McQuaid is particularly excited about research he is doing in collaboration with colleagues in Hong Kong and Brunei. The work involves the physiological responses of very high shore animals, such as snails, to global warming and evolution. These animals are marine, but tropical, rarely get wet and are subjected to very hot conditions which are energetically expensive. They do not feed regularly because they can only move when wet. Professor McQuaid and his colleagues are looking at how the physiology of these snails has adapted to allow them to survive. Ecological theory depends on basic laws of physics to predict an increase in heart rate and metabolism as temperature rises, but these animals show the reverse. Above a certain temperature, they shut down their metabolism dramatically, only increasing it again if conditions cool, or become so hot as to be life-threatening. We believe this is because these animals can only feed when wet and temperatures are high during low 19

23 The Vice-Chancellor s Distinguished Senior Research Award tides so that allowing metabolism to rise with temperature burns up energy to no purpose. This will be critically important for animals that have a life-time constraint on energy acquisition. What Professor McQuaid and his colleagues are not sure about is how these snails achieve this. Nobody knows what global warming s effects will be, but it will be complicated. There are predictions about what is going to happen but things are never as simple as the predictions. [The snails] are doing what they are theoretically not able to do, which makes it very exciting. The philosophy Professor McQuaid believes that to understand nature one has to recognise and understand patterns. He teaches his students to think critically and encourages them to synthesise and draw together everything they learn, read and see because he considers biology a synthetic discipline. Much of his research has obvious application in solving real world problems, but Professor McQuaid believes strongly in the importance of fundamental research. This is not only because it forms the basis that underpins applied research, but also because it represents the acquisition of knowledge, and has intrinsic value in itself. He believes that good science is a hallmark of civilisation in the same sense as good art. He also believes that, while state and parastatal organisations exist to address applied problems, it is only the universities that have a real mandate to undertake blue skies or fundamental research. Although SARChI only allows Professor McQuaid to spend 5% of his time on undergraduate teaching, he enjoys the interaction with students and the different perspectives on the world they bring to class. It is clear that they are not the only ones learning. Everyone sees the world in a different way. I see it a certain way, you see things in a different way, put one and one together and you ll get three. He teaches his students to think critically and encourages them to synthesise and draw together everything they learn, read and see because he considers biology a synthetic discipline His students regard it as a privilege to be under his supervision. Once you work with him you start to realise how much you would have missed had you been under different supervision. He takes the best out of students and cultivates a desire within you to keep learning, one says. With such a remarkable career one wonders where Professor McQuaid could possibly go from here, but it seems the research possibilities are endless. His first and immediate objective is to have his SARChI research chair renewed next year. Then he wishes to develop a new thrust with the Southern Ocean Group. We ll be able to do different things with a new ship that is arriving soon, because it will be equipped with better research facilities. I am also working closely with colleagues at Rhodes, Cape Town and Pretoria University to develop a stronger Southern Ocean programme. Professor McQuaid is clearly a scientist who never stops searching, exploring or discovering. His research is not limited to the microscopes and numerous sample bottles within the four walls of his laboratory, but stretches from coast to coast all over the world. The awards and accomplishments reflect the dedication and hard work of a man who wears his passion on his sleeve. Lara Rall 20

24 Professor Torto s Team, the Royal Society of Chemistry and the Journal of Analytical Methods 21 The joy Professor Nelson Torto receives from his job does not come from the status of being the Head of the Chemistry Department at Rhodes University, but the opportunity to positively influence young and enthusiastic minds. Every day Nelson Torto enjoys seeing the expressions on the faces in front of him in class or research group meetings, knowing that by teaching analytical chemistry he is providing students with knowledge that could change society for the better one day. One such student is PhD candidate Samuel Chigome. In 2010, Chigome, under Professor Torto s supervision, presented his innovation of an electrospun fiber-based solid phase extraction device at an international conference in the United States. The development of this device was well received by the Royal Society of Chemistry s referees and the editor of the Journal of Analytical Methods invited Professor Torto to write a review for the sister journal, The Analyst, as well as submit artwork for the cover of the Journal of Analytical Methods. Improving analyte selectivity In analytical chemistry the detection of analytes in samples such as blood, urine, water and plant materials can sometimes be problematic because of unwanted substances interfering with the chemical constituents of interest. This has necessitated the development and application of new materials in analytical chemistry. Every day Nelson Torto enjoys seeing the expressions on the faces in front of him in class or research group meetings, knowing that by teaching analytical chemistry he is providing students with knowledge that could change society for the better one day Today nanomaterials are known to have excellent properties for analytical chemistry applications due to their large surface area to volume ratio and the availability of a wide variety of chemical and morphological modification methods. Professor Torto says the challenge is to try and bring the levels of the analytes of interest to those amenable to the detection system of choice so as to achieve accurate analysis. In his group, efforts are focused on fabricating electrospun nanofibres with chemistries that will allow for targeting specific analytes. We attempt to remove the matrix or impart a high degree of analyte selectivity so that the analytes can be detected, he says. Photo: Sophie Smith

25 Introduction A solid phase extraction device consists of a solid material, called a sorbent, that is packed into a small column. The sorbents developed in Professor Torto s laboratory typically consists of nanofiber material that has diameters of about half the thickness of a human hair. He aspires to create opportunities for his students and seeks to involve people in analytical chemistry, both nationally and internationally When a sample passes through the sorbent the mixture is separated into desired and undesired components. The unwanted substances pass through and go to waste while the desired analytes of interest are retained in the sorbent. The trapped chemical constituents are then removed from the sorbent by rinsing it with the appropriate eluent. The process relies on the relationship and interaction between the analyte, chemistry of the sorbent as well as that of the eluting solvent. The clean sample is then taken to an analytical instrument for analysis. At best, Analytical Chemistry research requires faster, more efficient and miniaturised devices for sample preparation that would allow the handling of very small sample volumes, cut the use of environmentally unfriendly organic liquids, reduce time for the whole analytical process and facilitate automation of the analytical process. Professor Torto s group employs the technique of electrospinning to produce nanofibres that can be employed for clean-up of biological (blood, urine, sweat) and environmental samples (endocrine disruptors of inorganic nature, such as metals, and organic nature, such as pesticides). The electrospinning technique uses thousands of volts to draw a polymer solution into fibres. These fabricated fibres have a diameter 100 times smaller than that of a human hair. This is much smaller relative to conventional spherical particles used in conventional solid phase extraction. Cutting out expertise Professor Torto s second area of research focus, developing colorimetric diagnostic probes, aims to employ analytical thinking in order to remove the need for expertise that is normally required at the point of care or other related processes. He sketches the reality in rural areas all around the world. If a person is sick he or she might go to a hospital or clinic in a rural area where there is usually a lack of infrastructure and expertise. In institutions where there is no electricity or a working refrigerator, blood or urine samples that are taken from the patient should be transported immediately to a central place for testing otherwise they will go to waste. There is also the risk of the samples being lost during transportation, storage or analysis when it gets to the main laboratory that might be several hundred kilometres away. 22

26 Vice-Chancellor s Research Awards Professor Torto s Team Professor Torto and his research team are trying to come up with diagnostic systems that are based on a change of colour that indicates the presence of a target analyte. The idea is to target set types of reactions by creating a strip that has been functionalised with certain chemistries. When a drop of liquid from the sample is added to the strip (based on electrospun nanofibres), a colour change will take place that can be associated with a certain level of concentration. The most basic example of the principle is the pregnancy test kit available at any pharmacy. If someone can see and read, they can use the test. The expertise is taken out. He aspires to contribute to the education of his students so that when they graduate they would have increased the pool of opportunities Next year Professor Torto and his research team will be looking into liver toxicity associated with HIV/AIDS. He says that they want to come up with a diagnostic probe that can allow people to drop their blood on a strip and see a colour change that can either be associated with a healthy liver or a liver that is showing signs of stress. I want us to do something that will benefit society. So this is why we are directing our experience and expertise towards HIV related issues; if we can help, let s go for it. Leader and teacher Professor Torto sees himself not only as a leader but also as an equal. He says he believes in empowering colleagues with the principle of as one and working together as a team. He aspires to create opportunities for his students and seeks to involve people in analytical chemistry, both nationally and internationally. But he says that he does not impose his research interest onto his students. I do not promote what I do in class because I think it s a life time choice. When you choose to work in a certain area, in principle, you are cutting a big chunk of your life and dedicating it to that. For you to be recognised by anyone you have had to do a lot of work, and you can t do that if you do not like the area. You meet students from all over the globe, people who you are not related to and you just transform their lives. He aspires to contribute to the education of his students so that when they graduate they would have increased the pool of opportunities so as to follow their dream careers. It s a cascade of benefits that takes place and I think there is nothing as rewarding as that. He chuckles as he says that a Ferrari would be nice too, but student development is much more satisfying, because if I am only for myself, what would I be? Lara Rall 23

27 Undertaking Fundamental Research on Applied Organisms Professor Martin Hill, Department of Zoology and Entomology Martin Hill at a stand of water hyacinth near Rawsonville in the Western Cape. Tall plants such as this are indicative of eutrophic waters. In front of me sits the proud Head of Entomology of Rhodes University, Professor Martin Hill. The stacks of PhD theses and files of research around his office display his commitment to research and teaching, and the maps on the walls tell the story of his travels around the world. The passion and enthusiasm for his work that students respect Professor Martin Hill for is clear in his philosophy: In academia there are often two schools of thought: you are either a fundamental researcher or you are an applied researcher. We, however, take fundamental research and do not leave it at the lab bench or in files to collect dust, but aim to see the science through to the implementation stage. We have a commitment in South Africa to use the taxpayer s money wisely and somehow change livelihoods. Hill s research has two sections: biological control of invasive plant species and agricultural entomology. The universal philosophy behind his research group is to try and use biological control agents to regulate invasive weeds and natural products to control agricultural pests. The goal is to reduce the amount of herbicides and pesticides the world uses. Invasive alien plants (IAPs) are plants that are introduced into countries and then outcompete the indigenous species. IAPs are costing the South African economy billions of Rands every year and are the single largest threat to the country s biodiversity. They are a danger for the ecological functioning of natural systems, the productive use of land and also a threat to water security. Water weeds not only drain the country s water resources but also clog and strangle its waterways and contribute to the destruction of indigenous plants. We, however, take fundamental research and do not leave it at the lab bench or in files to collect dust, but aim to see the science through to the implementation stage IAPs intensify the impact of fires and floods and increase soil erosion. They can also divert enormous amounts of water from more productive uses. Invasive aquatic plants, such as the water hyacinth, affect agriculture, fisheries, transport, recreation and water supply. Mosquitoes and other disease-carrying organisms also breed in water weeds making diseases like malaria, schistosomiasis and cholera more common. Biological Control If an IAP s density is high and recognised as a problem the research team first identifies 24

28 Professor Martin Hill the origin of the weed through herbarium specimens and the literature. The potential biocontrol agents are imported and undergo host-specificity tests in quarantine to ensure that the insect only feeds on the weed. Suitable agents are then released into the field and their establishment and initial effects are monitored. The impacts of biological control on the population dynamics of the target weed species are evaluated and finally the research results are published in the appropriate scientific literature. The potential biocontrol agents are imported and undergo host-specificity tests in quarantine to ensure that the insect only feeds on the weed Hill and his team mainly work on aquatic weeds, especially the water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes). This weed originated in Latin America but now has a suppressing hold in Africa mainly because there are no insect or pathogen species controlling it and because it thrives in polluted waterways which provide it with high levels of nitrogen, phosphorous and other plant nutrients. In seven days water hyacinth can double the area occupied. The plant will continue to grow until it covers a whole lake or river with a thick floating mat of intertwined weed. Biological control, or the introduction of host specific natural enemies from the plant s region of origin, offers a sustainable and safe option to reduce the population of this, and other weeds, until they no longer pose a threat to communities and the provision of ecosystem goods and services. One of the finer examples of how the science of biological control has been implemented is from Lake Victoria where the introduction of two Neochetina weevils reduced water hyacinth from some ha to below ha over a period of five years. The control of water hyacinth on this lake means that people can now fish and extract water, and diseases such as malaria and cholera have also decreased. Hill and his team are continuing to monitor the water hyacinth and the weevil populations in Lake Victoria. The biological control of other floating aquatic weeds such as salvinia, water lettuce, parrot s feather and red water fern has also been highly successful not only here in South Africa but elsewhere on the continent, and the world. It is vital that the fundamental science carried out at Rhodes University is implementable further north in Africa. At the 17th Entomology Society of Southern Africa Congress Professor Hill said that the greatest challenges for biological control research are export, import and release regulations, and delays in obtaining permission to release agents in South Africa. In conversation with Hill he assures that the entomology department is now working more closely with Water hyacinth at the yacht club, Kisumu, Kenya, Lake Victoria before the introduction of the biological control agents in and, below, three years later after the weevils had taken effect. 25

29 False codling moth, the most serious pest of citrus in South Africa and the target of biological control using parasitoids, fungi and viruses. the Department of Agriculture than in the past and is now engaging better with regulatory authorities. Hill notes that the research is fairly new but gaining momentum In his lecture he also said that the entomology community should conduct more quantitative post-release evaluation experiments on control agents; that the outcomes of research should be implemented; that it is important to stay up to date with new techniques and to also integrate biological control with other control options such as molecular techniques, chemical ecology, interaction studies and food web approaches. The research team has changed its focus a little. After conducting research on water weeds such as the water hyacinth and red water fern (Azolla filiculoides) and controlling these floating water weeds, Hill and his researchers discovered many submerged aquatic weeds. The challenge is also to control these plants The ultimate challenge is to prevent these plants from entering the country through aquarium or horticultural trade. Agricultural Entomology The agriculture entomology section conducts research on agricultural pests. Instead of insecticides, viruses or fungi are used as a biological control. In 1962, Rachel Carson warned the world about the use of insecticides and pesticides. But this fell on deaf ears - the world still spends about USD 50 billion on pesticides. Hill notes that the research is fairly new but gaining momentum. The team is working on using a virus to control a pest in the citrus industry: the false codling moth (Cryptophlebia leucotreta). The insect damages citrus preharvest. Professor Emeritus Don Henry of Rhodes University explained, in the Science in Africa Magazine in 2002, the economic problem this moth can cause. He said that a single detection of one larva in fruit destined for export can result in the rejection of the entire delivery. The moth is also known as a cryptic pest, in that it lays one or a few eggs on the outside of the orange. On hatching the larvae very quickly tunnel into the orange and are then essentially unreachable. There is thus a very small window of opportunity between hatching and burrowing. The Rhodes team is working on a virus known as Cryptophlebia leucotreta granulovirus (CLGV) to control this pest. When the insect swallows it the virus particles infect the moth s intestinal cells, eventually spreading throughout the insect and causing morbidity, appetite loss, flaccidity and then death. 26

30 School of Journalism and Media Studies The research team is also actively searching for a virus to control one of the world s most destructive pests of cabbage and other crucifer crops: the diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella). The larvae of the moth feed on the leaves of the vegetables and any stage of the plant s growth is susceptible. The larvae can reach high densities and cause significant defoliation of the plants as well as contamination and malformation of cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower. The diamondback moth has also developed widespread resistance to numerous insecticides which make the use of a virus much more effective. Hill says that while this is an enormous problem in China, it is also a pest on home turf. In Grahamstown alone, cabbages are sold a week, making the search for a virus of an even greater importance. With this research on viruses and fungi the department hopes to reduce the amount of pesticides the world sprays into the environment and Hill believes they have achieved some successes. Professor Hill s teaching philosophy is to entertain and to educate. He acknowledges all the tools students and lecturers now have at their disposal. With the internet it is now possible to download information and to do virtual dissections. We can do everything we want, but if you don t have somebody who stands in front of a class, who is enthusiastic and gets that message across then it gets lost. Hill is also currently the Vice-President of the Entomological Society of Southern Africa. His goal is to transform the society and attract more young people, especially young black entomologists. It is a relic. We have a lot of old and retired people. Whilst knowledge and institutional history is important we need to try and get young people involved. Hill has only words of praise for Rhodes University s tremendous financial and logistical support. He is also thankful for the R3.5 million his research team receives from the Working for Water programme in partnership with the Department of Environmental Affairs, and the funding received from Citrus Research International. It is clear that Professor Martin Hill is one of the foremost soldiers in the war against invasive alien plants and pests in agriculture -a war that no military training could have prepared him for. His commitment to research and his passion for his work serve as his weapon and his entertaining teaching is preparing young aspiring entomologists to also take up the fight against invasive plants and pests. - Lara Rall Martin Hill at the Rhodes University biological control mass-rearing facility that employs disabled people to mass-rear and distribute biological control agents for waterweeds throughout South Africa and neighbouring countries. 27

31 Introduction South African Literature in English in Focus Professor Dirk Klopper, Department of English Drawing on resources and expertise in the Department of English, the Institute for the Study of English in Africa (ISEA) and the National English Literary Museum (NELM), the South African Literature in Focus (SALIF) research area seeks to originate and promote scholarship on South African literary culture. SALIF has evolved out of the historical role the English Department has played in promoting the study of South African literature in English. The research area is led by the Head of the Department of English, Professor Dirk Klopper and supported by staff working in the field of SA literary studies, scholars whose research over the years has contributed to defining the field and identifying key concerns in it. The location of Grahamstown as site of the introduction of Anglophone colonial culture in the Cape points to the location as such of English literary culture in South Africa, suggesting that the research area might consciously reflect upon the Anglophone legacy within which it operates, conceiving of English literary culture dialogically, as one cultural orientation among others in the local transcultural context. Concomitantly, it seems necessary to think creatively about the relation between SA literature in English and other regional literatures in English, particularly those literatures that are geographically proximate to South Africa (Botswana and Zimbabwe), but also those with whom SA literary culture has a historically significant relation (Nigeria and Kenya). The relation between SA literature in English and metropolitan literature remains a relation of the provincial to the metropolitan. However, rather than lament this state of affairs, we might, as J.M. Coetzee has proposed, embrace and rehabilitate the notion of the provincial: Provincialism usually carries connotations of the backward, the smug, the philistine. It also carries a stigma of inferiority. I do not see that any of this is necessary. A provincial literature is not necessarily minor... There are quite other values associated with provincialism that one can cultivate, for example, a sense of cultural and historical continuity at the level of the lives ordinary people lead; a respect for localities, craftsmanship... (CNA Prize speech, 1980) The aesthetics of the provincial (the local) is appropriately modest. Its scale of values eschews universalizing abstractions and resists extravagant claims to significance. The research area might meaningfully concern itself with what provincialism signifies in the South African literary-cultural context, not as an insular phenomenon but in relation to other regional literatures that share its Anglophone heritage as well as to critical developments in metropolitan literature. The SALIF research area differs from research areas which are led by a fixed body of researchers on a specific project, and conducted as semi-autonomous activities within given departments. Rather, SALIF comprises a loose affiliation of researchers and students working on different aspects of SA literary study through various departmental offerings, structures and activities. The research area has been assimilated into the postgraduate curriculum through guided course readings and thesis supervision. Concentration of staff and student research on a defined body of work has begun to suggest new pedagogical 28

32 School of Journalism and Media Studies Photo: Sophie Smith possibilities, including the articulation of staff research seminars with postgraduate colloquiums and collaborative supervision. The research area seeks to generate a critical mass of work on SA literature, involving permanent staff, research affiliates, postdoctoral fellows, academic visitors and postgraduate students, thereby supplementing core teaching activities with a range of additional opportunities for academic discussion and writing. The relation between SA literature in English and metropolitan literature remains a relation of the provincial to the metropolitan Staff members working within the SALIF research area are exploring a range of issues, including: voice and the dialogical basis of inter-subjectivity; otherness and the ethic of hospitality; ecologies of self, community and environment; crime fiction and the law in the post-apartheid state. Underpinning these issues is the question of literary epistemology, the kinds of knowledge and understanding delivered by a discourse that employs multiple subject positions within specific historical contexts and localities. Students are working on topics such as trauma, memory and writing; blackness, cultural displacement, and double consciousness; the body and embodied consciousness; repetition, doubling and the manifestation of the uncanny; home, family and nostalgia. The research focus area has enabled the Department of English to give substance to its claim that it pays particular attention to the study of SA literature in English. It has served as catalyst in consolidating curriculum offerings on SA literary study, stimulating research on sharply defined issues within SA literary culture, and expanding postgraduate enrolment. Funding provided by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation has contributed specifically to study bursaries, research visits by local and international scholars, and teaching relief. - Dirk Klopper 29

33 Introduction Media and Citizenship: Between Maginalisation and Participation Professors Herman Wassermann and Anthea Garman The Media and Citizenship: Between Marginalisation and Participation project, one of the four Andrew W. Mellon Foundation funded research focus areas in the Faculty of Humanities, began life by seeking out and appointing its cadre of researchers and by beginning regular conversations in the School with Next Generation researchers. The project, led by Professors Herman Wasserman and Anthea Garman and based in the School of Journalism and Media Studies, will critically examine the ways in which the South African media realise their potential to contribute to the reconstruction and renegotiation of citizenship. The project seeks to establish through empirical research to what extent Photo: Sophie Smith South African journalism across a wide variety of outlets and expressions facilitates democratic participation and voice in the public sphere, especially for the most marginalised of citizens. According to Wasserman and Garman, the media are considered to be central to the establishment and rooting of democracy because they provide the information citizens need to perform their roles and duties, and serve as a space where citizens can deliberate to form public opinion and influence policy. However, the link between media and citizenship in post-apartheid South Africa is not self-evident. The relationship between media and citizenship is complicated by the fact that while democratisation has restored the legal and political rights of citizenship denied to the majority under apartheid, the continued exclusions from economic equality and social empowerment have resulted in a widespread experience of marginalisation from policy-making and the public sphere for a majority of South Africans. The project aims to establish how notions of media, citizenship and democracy are articulated in actually-existing social contexts and thus contribute to a better understanding of how media could contribute to the improvement of democratic participation. In addition 30

34 to this research aim the Focus Area is being used as a hub within the School of Journalism and Media Studies to generate research conversations among staff who are embarking on or completing higher degrees and beginning research careers. Regular weekly conversations in which staff members discuss the preparation of papers for conferences, the review of journal articles, access to funding and also the discussion of theoretical concepts around citizenship and media are now a feature in the School of Journalism and Media Studies. Media are considered to be central to the establishment and rooting of democracy because they provide the information citizens need to perform their roles and duties Many of the existing individual projects of teaching and media production have been found to articulate well with this new focus on media and citizenship and to be enriched both by the theoretical input as well as the practical information on how to operate as media scholars. Because of its base in journalism practice, and leaning on the skills of its research cohort, as well as the expertise of the School staff, the project aims to also have a public face. Photographic exhibitions, public discussions and colloquia are planned as part of the project to make the research accessible and to create an interface with policy-makers, theorists and journalists. Professor Wasserman has presented the aims of the project at the annual conference of the South African Communication Association (Sacomm) in Pretoria, and also presented a paper titled An ethics of listening: thoughts on the disjunctures between media, democracy and citizenship in South Africa at the third Global Media Ethics Roundtable in Delhi, India. The paper will be published in a book on media ethics in the Global South, to be co-edited by Wasserman. A co-authored paper by Wasserman and Garman has been accepted for presentation at the conference Pluralism, Inclusion and Citizenship to be held in Prague, Czech Republic in March The research leaders believe that coupling the focus on participation in public debate with a focus on the uses of media in everyday life, will add depth to our understanding of how media are used to make meaning around citizenship and democracy. Such understanding may enable media institutions to more effectively articulate the needs of citizens and enhance their experience of democratic participation. 31

35 Library Research Introduction Highlights The Rhodes University vision is to be an internationally recognised institution that requires the support of excellent library services for its research enterprise. Over the past year, two significant projects have come to fruition that will have long-term benefit for research scholarship at Rhodes University. On 4 November 2010, a milestone in the life and history of the Rhodes University Library was achieved with the official opening by Dr Blade Nzimande, Minister of Higher Education and Training, of the new Library Building with its state-of-the art facilities. Secondly, the goal was reached of arranging user services staff into Faculty Library Liaison Teams. Guided by physical space planning and book collection sizes and taking into account staff and student numbers, four faculty specific service desks linked to research collections began operating in the new Library with two Branch Libraries (Law Faculty and Department of Music & Musicology). The Faculty Liaison Librarian teams liaise proactively with departments, provide information services, actively engage in collection development & management, and present instruction in the use of print and electronic resources. The Rhodes University Library is part of Phase 2 of a prestigious project involving six academic library partners in the South African Research Libraries Consortium Project (RLC) ( ) funded by the Carnegie Corporation of New York. The purpose of the RLC Project is to strengthen and enhance academic library support for research and researchers within each of the partner libraries through a series of initiatives: The establishment of a Research Commons to provide a comfortable and quiet space for academic staff, established researchers as well as the emerging cadre of high-level researchers who may not otherwise have access to such a space. The intention behind the Research Commons is to create an environment that is supportive and conducive to producing quality research and developing a community of practice among researchers; The implementation and release in August 2010 of the web-based research portal that uses an advanced discovery tool Primo and the search engine MetaLib in combination with the link resolver SFX which simplifies the discovery and usability of relevant sources for researchers by assisting them to find what is available, not only at Rhodes but also through open source and other repositories. 32

36 Librarians need to have specialist knowledge and advanced skills to support the research enterprise. As part of the RLC Project, a series of training opportunities were made available during 2010 to strengthen the Library's capacity in research librarianship. During 2010, nine information specialists attended two 14 day Library Academies (April and October) on research librarianship in South Africa. Following the Library Academy opportunity, two staff members were subsequently selected to participate in early 2011 in a 12 week international programme in the United States that includes internships at leading research libraries. One of the primary roles of the Rhodes University Library is to support the university's research endeavours by means of its research collection and access to a wide range of electronic resources. Through significant institutional funding, the Library maintains a comprehensive collection of electronic information resources accessible via the RUL webpage and supported by good ICT infrastructure. The Library continued to migrate its print journal titles to online platforms thereby improving availability and accessibility of content. In 2010, approximately 70% of the Information Resources grant was used to build the electronic component of the research collection whilst 30% was allocated to monographs. The University Library subscribes to approximately 63 commercial research databases (total 125 including free databases) that provide access to approximately 36,000 unique electronic titles. The platforms include large aggregator databases such as EBSCOHost; publisher databases e.g. ScienceDirect, Wiley/Blackwell, ACM Digital Library; Citation indexes e.g. Web of Science and Scopus as well as a range of bibliographic databases e.g. Water Resources Worldwide and specialist databases e.g. Thomson Datastream. The use of the online research collection showed significant increase in usage especially after the implementation of the discovery tool PRIMO and the search engine MetaLib in combination with the link resolver SFX eg Oxford Scholar Online, Science Direct and SA e-pubs. The Library maintained its current collection of e-books at 6,500 individual subscribed titles. Digital Repository for research output In 2006, the Rhodes University Library launched an open access digital repository called the Rhodes eresearch Repository (ReRR) to archive and provide access to theses and dissertations as well as to encourage academics and researchers to submit publications. During 2010 the ReRR, once again, proved to be a useful tool for gaining access to Rhodes University s e-research articles and theses. In this past year, 227 theses and 57 research articles were deposited in the ReRR. A pleasing achievement was that the ReRR has continued to maintain its ranking, as one of only four South African university repositories, in the top 400 repositories in the Ranking Web of World Repositories Ms Gwenda Thomas Director: Library Services Publications Research Journals in Abstract and/or Full paper Shepherd,E Shepherd,E.

44 Anthropology Associate Professor Rose Boswell served as Head of Department in Anthropology in She also completed two research projects, one for a postdoctoral project on heritage management funded by the Organisation for Social Science Research in East and Southern Africa (OSSREA) and a second project on Superdiversity in South Africa funded by the Max Planck Institute (MPI), Germany. She conducted fieldwork in Madagascar (March 2010) and Cape Town (January & July 2010) for the above noted projects. In 2010 she also led a multidisciplinary team conducting research on racism discourse and practice in Mauritius for the Mauritius Truth and Justice Commission. She wrote five papers (three Working Papers for the MPI) and two scholarly papers for conferences. She also completed a 300 page research report for OSSREA, which will be published as a book late in In 2010 she produced the following publications: two journal articles (one SAPSE accredited) and two book chapters (one of which was anonymously peer-reviewed). Rose presented two conference papers at the European Association of Anthropology (EASA) conference in Dublin, Ireland and the Anthropology Southern Africa Association conference in East London, South Africa respectively. Late in 2010 she was also invited to and presented a paper at the SADC Roundtable on Training the African Diplomat. The roundtable was convened by the South African Department of Foreign Affairs and the Africa Institute in Pretoria. Rose also supervised two newly registered PhDs and four MA students in Professor Robin Palmer was on sabbatical in the first semester of He worked on papers and a book chapter associated with his on-going research on the Wild Coast as well as a new JRC-funded project, Transnational migration of South Africans from the Eastern Cape to the UK: A comparative study from the perspective of the region of origin at home before proceeding to the US and UK with the intention of attending two international conferences. He read his paper at NEWSA - the North East Workshop on Southern Africa - and was gratified to have it published in an accredited journal soon afterwards. The second conference, on South African migration to the UK, which he was to attend on his way back from the US, was cancelled at short notice due to the eruption of Eyjafjallajökull, the Icelandic volcano that led to the closure of many European airports from 14 to 21 April. Professor Palmer presented a paper at the annual conference of the Association for Anthropology in Southern Africa. The last months of the year saw the 41

45 Rhodes University Research Report: Anthropology publication of a second journal article and a chapter for an edited volume on the Eastern Cape. Professor Chris de Wet read papers at international conferences in New Delhi in February and in The Hague in October, as well as giving seminars at the University of Wageningen and the Institute of Social Studies, University of Rotterdam, The Hague. While at the conference in The Hague, he had discussions with resettlement colleagues from around the world about furthering an initiative of his, to set up an internationally designed, cross-continental training course for resettlement officials. He has been mandated to hold the planning workshop at Rhodes University in In South Africa, he read papers at the Third Annual Colloquium on Rural Development in Bisho, and at the Annual Conference of the Association of Anthropology in East London. He had chapters published in peer reviewed books. Chris supervised three PhD students and one MA student in Dr Penny Bernard completed and submitted her PhD in She has been using most of the year to work on papers arising from the PhD and also applied for NRF funding at the end of In 2010 Ms Owen presented a paper entitled, Facebook: Expressing Congolese success transnationally at the annual American Anthropological Association (AAA) Conference held in New Orleans between 17 and 21 November. Ms Owen also produced a review of Rene Lemarchand s Dynamics of Violence for the Journal of Contemporary African Studies, which is currently in press. During the second half of the year, Ms Owen was on sabbatical leave, firmly ensconced in the writing up of her doctoral dissertation. In May 2010 Ms Silvana Barbali was invited to address the Post Graduate students in the Department of Anthropology, NMMU. The topic of the seminar was entitled Now What? Doing Fieldwork and Being In the Field. Her presentation dealt with issues of doing fieldwork at a post graduate level for the first time. During the 20-23rd September 2010, Silvana attended the annual Anthropology Southern Africa Conference held in Chinsta, Eastern Cape.

47 Biochemistry, Microbiology and Biotechnology Staff of Biochemistry, Microbiology and Biotechnology had a busy Dr Jo Dames, current Head of the Department was in the spot light as the Mycoroot product was used on several stadium fields in preparation for the soccer world cup. Mycoroot is a fungal plant growth promotion product which is produced by Dr Dames. Dr Adrienne Edkins and Professor Greg Blatch were successful in their application to the National Equipment Programme, to establish a R4 million Fluorescence-Activated Cell Sorting (FACS) Facility. This useful scientific instrument provides a fast, objective and quantitative recording of fluorescent signals from individual cells as well as physical separation of cells of particular interest. This regional FACS facility was commissioned within the Department in August/September Professor Chris Whiteley and his PhD student, Eden Padayachee, continued with their research collaboration with South China University of Technology jointly sponsored by the National Research Foundation (South Africa) and the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Professor Whiteley was an invited speaker at a training workshop for Environmental Engineers held by the National Taiwan University in Taipei in November. He presented a paper at the inaugural symposium on Enzyme Biocatalysis. Ms Padayachee was the only student from Africa to be selected to attend the ISN-APSN Neurochemistry Workshop in Bangkok, Thailand in October Professor Whiteley s group was very active in their search for new enzymes for the synthesis of fructooligosaccharides. Professor Brett Pletschke and his research group presented their research findings to delegates at the 22nd South African Society for Bio-chemistry and Molecular Biology (SASBMB) Congress held at Ilanga Estate in Bloemfontein in January. Professor Pletschke was elected president of the Society. He gave a number of invited talks on the role of enzyme synergy on the degradation of lignocelluloses for subsequent biotechnological applications (including biofuel production). These talks were presented at the Graduate School of Bioresources, Mie University, Japan; Embrapa-Agrienergia, a large biofuel company, in Brazil and at the Catholic University of Brasilia. He was also invited as Lead Speaker to the 51st Annual Conference of Association of Microbiologist of India (AMI) and International Symposium on Cross - Disciplinary Microbiology: Avenues and Challenges, AMI 2010-CMAC meeting which took place in Ranch India in December, along with PhD student Sagaran Abboo.

While in the UK Dr Knox discussed ongoing and future collaborative research with Professor Tom Wileman (Director, Biomedical Research Centre, University of East Anglia). Dr Aileen Boshoff was invited as a visiting scholar to the Academiz Sinica, Taipei in Taiwan from April to June, where she conducted studies on the E.coli degradosome. The visit was very successful. Dr Boshoff also attended seminars presented by top scientists, one of which was Dr Bruce Alberts the president of the US National Academy of Sciences. Dr Adrienne Edkins travelled to Switzerland to present her research at the 5th International Meeting on the Hsp90 chaperone machine and conducted a research visit to the University of Glasgow in Scotland. The Rhodes University Bioinformatics (RUBi) Research Laboratory was opened in February 2010, headed by Dr Ozlem Tastan Bishop. She was accompanied by 3 MSc students who transferred from the University of Pretoria, for their second year. The biggest challenge for RUBi was to re-initiate the one year course/research work MSc Bioinformatics Programme which will start in Dr Tastan Bishop was invited to give a talk at NMMU entitled Bioinformatics: Protein Structure Analysis for various Biotechnology Applications in May. Professor Oleg Reva and Professor Fourie Joubert from the Bioinformatics and Computational Biology Unit, University of Pretoria, visited RUBi. Janice Limson, Head of Biotechnology, was promoted to Associate Professor in Her six months sabbatical period allowed her opportunities to present her team s research in biosensors at three international conferences including World Biosensors, in Edinburgh in the UK, International Union of Food Science & Technology, Cape Town and at the International Society of Electrochemistry Annual meeting in Nice, France. A period spent in Dr Estrela s laboratory at the University of Bath was followed by presentations and initiation of further collaborations at the Vrije Universiteit of Amsterdam in the Netherlands. She was invited as one of six South African researchers for a DST sponsored workshop at the Brazilian LNLS Synchrotron Radiation facility in Campinas, Brazil, an initiative aimed at accelerating South Africa s scientific capacity in this area. Closer to home, collaborations with CSIR scientists and the DST/Mintek Nanotechnology Innovation Centre have furthered technology transfer programmes in sensors development. She ended the year as the newly elected Chairperson of the Rhodes University School of Biotechnology, and awarded the Vice-Chancellor s distinguished research award. Dr Brendan Wilhelmi continued his collaboration with Dr Schalk de Kock of the Laboratory of the National Horse-racing Authority. The research involved the investigation of the metabolism of drugs used illegally in the racing industry. Ms Roxann Morrison completed her master s thesis based on P450 metabolism of a range of drugs, identifying both phase I and II metabolites. Ms Morrison presented her work at the 2010 SASBMB conference. A collaboration was initiated with Dr Adrienne Edkins, which focused on the metabolism of novel compounds, and their effects on cancer cells. A collaboration with Dr Garth Cambray of Makana Meadery was re-initiated, with two biotechnology master s students investigating continuous fermentation for the production of ethanol and metabolic byproducts of the fermentation process. The Department is expecting to graduate 14 MSc and 7 PhD students in the upcoming graduation ceremonies and continues to have strong research collaborations with other Departments and Institutes within the University such as Chemistry, Zoology and Entomology, Statistics, Pharmacy and EBRU. Strong collaborations also continue on both National and International levels. Dr Jo Dames Head of Department 45

54 Botany Photos: Nigel Barker and Vincent Clark 2010 was an excellent year for the department - four MSc and two PhD students submitted their theses for examination, and staff maintained their research productivity. Professor Nigel Barker, the Head of the Department, continued leading biodiversity research focusing on the Great Escarpment mountains. His research group comprising Honours, masters, PhD and post-doctoral researchers, has been responsible for finding and describing new species of plants and animals, as well as identifying regions of high diversity. One of the papers co-authored by him and his students on this topic was awarded the Compton Prize for the best paper published in the South African Journal of Botany. Other ongoing local and international research collaborations on the evolutionary relationships of daisies, grasses and legumes also resulted in publications in high profile journals. Nigel also maintained his second research interest in the genetic diversity of animal taxa, with published work on Cicadas (in collaboration with Professor Martin Villet (Department of Zoology & Entomology), and continued research in coastal and marine invertebrates (in collaboration with Professor McQuaid of the Department of Zoology & Entomology). Professor Brad Ripley continued his work on the ecology and evolution of C4 grasses, which remains his central research focus. This resulted in the publication of several international journal articles and the graduation of an MSc student. This student s work was recognised with awards from both the Grassland society of South Africa and from the South African Academy of Science and Art. Brad s collaboration with UK scientists continues with the submission of several funding applications and collaborative projects, and he has been involved with the formation of a Terrestrial Landcover Change Consortium (LCC) with other South African scientists who have developed several proposals to conduct research on the effects of climate change on terrestrial ecosystems. Dr Craig Peter presented a paper at the 1st International meeting on population ecology of tropical orchids held in the Guanahacabibes National Park, Pinar del Río, Cuba in January. While there he interacted with a number of leading orchid biologists from around the world. In addition Craig s first PhD student, Gareth Coombs, graduated and has gone on to publish five papers with more in preparation also saw Craig being awarded a Y1 rating from the NRF. The highlight of 2010, however, was undoubtedly the fact that Craig was awarded the South African Association of Botanists bronze medal for the best PhD submitted in 2009 for his research on the 51

55 Rhodes University Research Report: Botany pollination biology of orchids conducted at the University of KwaZulu-Natal. Dr Susi Vetter led an NRF-funded research project on the role of key resources in the Richtersveld saw the completion of a PhD thesis (by Gareth Hempson, who was based at Edinburgh University and cosupervised by Susi) as part of this project. Susi also continued to collaborate on a SANPAD-funded research project on the cultural values of biodiversity led by Dr Michelle Cocks (Institute for Social and Economic research, Rhodes University). In November 2010, Susi and Michelle organised a very successful workshop on integrating biocultural values into nature conservation, which involved collaborators and other invited speakers from the Netherlands, as well as several key figures in conservation in South Africa. The workshop served to disseminate research results and to discuss how the findings could inform conservation planning and management. As a consequence of this workshop, Dr Cocks was invited to give a plenary address at the 2011 South African Biodiversity Planning Forum, and a paper on integrating biocultural values into conservation has been submitted to the journal Conservation Biology. Professor Ted Botha was on sabbatical for the second half of the year, and was intensively involved in supervising two PhD students to completion, one of which was in collaboration with colleagues at the University of Fort Hare. He also published 3 papers. The departments community engagement was led by Tony Dold, together with Dr Michelle Cocks from the ISER, whose Inkcubeko Nendalo education programme presented 48 lessons to 650 Grade 10 learners and facilitated 16 field excursions for 187 of these learners. In addition a Heritage Day weekend outing for a group of learners was funded by the Albany Branch of the Botanical Society.

58 Rhodes Business School Rhodes Business School has set an ambitious goal of being in the top three research business schools in South Africa as measured by its publication ratio. We are mindful though that this is going to take time and the necessary building blocks have to be put in place to address this. Consequently a decision has been made to earmark a staff member with specific responsibility to drive the research agenda and provide a conducive environment for staff and students to achieve this. Rhodes Business School continues to be grateful to the DVC: Research and Development for making funds available for members of Rhodes Business School staff to attend conferences during the year. Professor Owen Skae Director Following a review of its academic and personal skills programme as well as its research methods course, a structured programme of submission to key milestones and monitoring has been implemented. It is hoped that instilling this culture of discipline will enable students to convert their research into publications. There is currently one PhD student enrolled at Rhodes Business School. 55

60 Chemistry Researchers from Belgium and Greece visit the Nanotechnology Innovation Centre which is under the directorship of Professor Tebello Nyokong. From left to right: Prof Georgios Priniotakis, Mr Anastasios Tzerachoglou, Prof Tebello Nyokong, Mr Ioannis Chronis and Dr Philippe Westbroek The highlights of the Chemistry Department for 2010 include; increased research capacity through high numbers of postgraduates (registered at Rhodes and those visiting from other Universities) and guest researchers, acquisition of state-of-the-art instrumentation, an increase in collaborations with industry, recognition of staff by various bodies and Universities, enhanced participation in research collaboration and dissemination at national and international conferences. Professor Tebello Nyokong continues to lead by example with at least 44 publications and a provisional patent. She also received Honorary Degrees from the Universities of South Africa and Walter Sisulu. Her year of several accolades was crowned by the Life Achievement Award (Education Category), received in Lesotho. Professor Nyokong also secured funding to purchase an X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) instrument worth R 7 million that will enhance the research capacity of the department in the area of surface chemistry for all nanotechnology pursuits. In particular the recent focus in the area of electrospinning for sensors and sample handling by Professors Torto, Nyokong and Dr Tshentu will benefit significantly also saw the emergence of a concerted marine biodiscovery research initiative driven by Professor Davies- Coleman. New collaborations with the Marine Biodiscovery Centre at the University of Aberdeen, a pharmaceutical screening facility at the University of Tromsø in Norway and with natural products groups in Kenya were established. Professor Davies-Coleman and colleagues were able to secure a grant from the National Equipment Programme for a new R2.5 million gene sequencer to support marine biodiscovery. Within the department, Emeritus Professor Perry Kaye continues to mentor Drs Kevin Lobb and Roselyn Klein, and the productivity levels of 2010 are a true reflection of the progress made. Postgraduate student enrolment doubled from the initial 33 in 2004 to 67 in Collaborations with international organizations and local companies such as the Organisation for Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) and SASOL respectively, saw increased student and guest researcher support as well as acquisition of additional instrumentation. The department presented more than 50 papers at international conferences. It hosted 57

68 Computer Science Much of the research conducted in the Department of Computer Science falls under the auspices of the Telkom Centre of Excellence in Distributed Multimedia, which has been hosted by the Department since The Centre is a good example of triple helix at work, where academia, industry and government (through the Department of Trade and Industry, DTI) come together to pool resources and improve the competiveness of the industry, via the preparation of highly skilled practitioners and the co-development of appropriate technology. The Centre operates under the management of a joint academic /industry steering committee, and has high level representation from the partner industries and from the DTI through the National Research Foundation. In 2010 the Centre closed another successful three year cycle, concluding the development of a distributed media platform. The Centre has produced convincing results, especially in terms of converged telecommunications and their application to the field of developmental ICTs. The combination of Next Generation Network technologies and development has generated great interest in 2010, and we expect the trend to continue in the following cycle. The endpoints for experimentation are often located in a real-life test-bed network, which was started over ten years ago and was kept upto-date by continuous technology upgrades. The test-bed includes a wide range of network transport technologies -interconnected by an Ethernet fabric supporting IP. A number of research and development groups, distinct but synergetic, fed into the realization of the distributed media-service platform. Convergence Professor Alfredo Terzoli and Mr Mosiuoa Tsietsi This group carries the core activity of the Centre of Excellence, working at the development of the actual distributed mediaservice platform. This was done through the investigation of available architectures to specialize appropriately, and the creation of suitable toolkits for the fast creation and deployment of services, to exercise the platform and inform its construction. Security and Networks Dr Barry Irwin The Security and Networks Research Group 65

69 Rhodes University Research Report: Computer Science (SNRG) efforts are concentrated in the areas of Information Security and Computer Networks. Members of the group are involved in a variety of projects, including a selection of visualization techniques for security metrics, network traffic classification and monitoring, intrusion detection and hardware acceleration of security centric tasks using commodity graphics cards. Mobility Dr Hannah Thinyane This group, started in 2010, concentrates on the device side of the mobile equation. (The Convergence group concentrates more on the infrastructure side.) Work on mobility grew fast, benefitting from strong expertise in the department on mobile devices and Human Computer Interaction. Distributed Audio Engineering Professor Richard Foss Over the past 3 years, the Audio Engineering group has been involved in the conceptualization and implementation of a connection management and control protocol known as XFN (Cross Fire Network). This protocol is aimed at allowing for comprehensive control over the routing of audio within large sound installations such as stadiums, studios, convention centres, law courts, and live concerts. The project has involved embedded firmware programming of nodes for amplifiers and other professional audio devices, the construction and programming of special purpose routers, and the creation of graphical control software. Parallel and Distributed Computing Dr Karen Bradshaw and Professor George Wells This group has a long history in the department, going back to the origins of the paradigm in the 1980 s when transputers were the main focus. More recently, the group s research efforts have focused on various aspects of Linda, a coordination language for parallel/ distributed programming, grid computing and incorporating parallel constructs into the Python language, with the aim of making concurrent programming more readily accessible to non-computer scientists. ICT4D Professor Alfredo Terzoli and Dr Hannah Thinyane This group concentrates on a long-term, multidisciplinary effort to introduce meaningful ICT in the Dwesa region, a deep rural area in the Eastern Cape. Technological solutions are tested in the field in rather harsh conditions. This research effort, connected closely to the other research pursuits in the department, situates itself in the growing area of ICT for Development. The field test site is being structured as a living lab (Siyakhula Living Lab), a vehicle which permits the use of a new research methodology, whereby the services needed by a community are co-created with the community. An important spin-off of this activity was the starting, in 2010, of a project, ESTIMA, for the construction of a software factory, Reed House Systems ( and funded by SAFIPA.

74 Drama The research outputs for the Drama Department in 2010 reflect the wide range of theatre and performance research activities of the staff. We are very pleased also to reflect on the wide range of types of research outputs in the form of performances, workshops, as well as more formally recognised academic outputs of journal publications, conference papers delivered and books published by the staff. Professor Gordon s creative output in the first semester before departing on leave to Hong Kong reflected the work of a maturing artist producing critically acclaimed work on the national theatre stage. His performances of Go, Amanogawa and The Cycle from The Unspeakable Story were very well received nationally. The work of other company members, Alan Parker and Nicola Elliot, were also critically recognised as being of very high quality and excitingly innovative. Professor Buckland s professional theatre performances included a collaboration with theatre artists from Greece, The Netherlands and Johannesburg to make a site specific work; Meet Market for the Infecting the City Festival in Cape Town. He also toured a collection of three one man plays to Johannesburg, Cape Town and Hilton as well as several schools festivals around the country. In July he collaborated with Ubom! Eastern Cape Drama Company in the creation of a new work; Breed which featured on the National Arts Festival Fringe and won a Standard Bank Silver Ovation award and was invited to play at the Mzansi Fela Festival in the State Theatre in Pretoria in December. Professor Buckland travelled to Belfast to present a series of workshops with the Colonnades Theatre Laboratory from New York who were engaged in the creation of a new work seeded by the spirit and methods of Truth In Translation ( ) which Buckland had also been instrumental in creating. He was also invited to present workshops with the Magnet Theatre Company in Cape Town and the Remix Dance Company housed at the Baxter Centre who are engaged in integrated dance with abled and other-abled performers. Ms Praeg s professional performance outputs included choreography on So loop n Volstruis, which was performed at the KKNK, and a highly acclaimed performance in Amanogawa at the National Arts Festival. These creative endeavours were matched by formal academic results of two publications; one a reflection on pedagogy and physical theatre and the other on performance. Ms Praeg was also instrumental in bringing several distinguished visitors to the department including physical theatre experts from the UK, the United States and Norway. 71

75 Rhodes University Research Report: Drama Dr Krueger brought distinction to the department by publishing no less than three books, thirteen Journal publications, and six professional performances including short films and theatre works nationally and internationally. Dr Krueger also presented a paper at the International Federation of Theatre Research in Munich. Ms Gehring contributed to the Department s output through a highly acclaimed production at the National Arts festival, Hex, as well as a paper presented at the International Federation of Theatre Research in Munich. As usual the output of the two associated projects, the First Physical Theatre Company and the Ubom! Eastern Cape Drama Company were significant and continued to impact on the performance landscape of the country. The First Physical Theatre Company created 14 new physical theatre and dance works which were performed in venues around the country. In addition, the company compiled three significant educational resource items including two films and an archive providing teachers and learners with valuable insights into the creating and training of physical theatre. Members of the company led workshops and creative residencies in locations varying from Cape Town to Durban to Bathurst and Grahamstown. The company received training input from several international experts in Butoh, Viewpoints Improvisational training, American post-modern dance and dance archiving. Ubom! Eastern Cape Drama Company presented seven major new works to a range of audiences from young children to school goers to festival public, and Scifest participants. In total their performances and workshops reached an audience of over thirty thousand people. Productions included The Adventures Of Little Nobody, a play for young audiences; Hush, an hiv/aids intervention; Breed; a cutting edge new drama; Red Earth, a collaboration with performers from Eluxholweni street children shelter; The Square Root of Dreaming, for the Sci fest; Sink or Swim, an environmental educational work on climate change; and finally the Grahamstown Christmas show uhantsie no Grietjie. The company provided workshops in theatre skills to five Schools Festivals around the country reaching three thousand pupils as well as individual school interactions throughout the Eastern Cape. Ubom runs a very successful and long running theatre project with the correctional services in Grahamstown as well as the Makana Drama Development Festival. Awards and Nominations The First Physical Theatre Company s festival production, Amanogawa received a Standard Bank Ovation Award at the National Arts Festival. Professor Buckland s work, first created in 1990, Between the Teeth, was nominated in the category Best Cutting Edge Production along with Butcher Brothers and Wombtide, which both feature Drama department alumni. Professor Buckland s season of one man plays; One Man. Three shows. One hundred Characters was nominated for a Fleur du Cap award for best performance in a one man play. Ubom s Breed won a Standard Bank Silver Ovation Award at the National Arts Festival. Handspring Awards for Puppetry: Ubom! was nominated for three awards at the OUT THE BOX festival and newly established Handspring Puppet Company s awards. Ubom was Winner of Best Puppet Manipulation award and were nominated for the Best Design & the Best Production awards. It is remarkable that Ubom were the only African company to be nominated in the Best Production category. Professor Andrew Buckland Head of Department 72

78 Economics The Department of Economics has sustained a very productive research profile. The report of outputs reflects a good spread of contributions from most members of the department. Very prominent themes this year, particularly regarding publications in accredited journals, have been Resource, Agricultural and Cultural Economics, as well as International Trade and Trade Policy. Under Other Publications a prominent feature has been the regular contributions to the economic media, particularly Professor Gavin Keeton s regular column in Business Day. Over and above her listed publications in the area of Trade Policy, Ms Niki Cattaneo continued her regular cooperation with TRALAC and the DTI, from which flowed the proposal for a new honours course elective by Professors Gavin Fraser and Jen Snowball. A proposed research focus area in Environmental Economics, particularly Water Studies was submitted for possible funding. The Department benefitted from the presence and academic contribution of Post-doctoral fellow Dr Abel Ezeoha, whose expertise lies mainly in financial markets. As such he helped shape many of the research topics of new masters students and also assisted in supervision. Dr XP Guma, the Deputy Governor of the South African Reserve Bank and Visiting Professor in Economics, held a seminar on the current economic trends and outlook during his lecturing visit in October. The keynote address at the annual postgraduate conference was delivered by Mr Neren Rau, CEO of the South African Chamber of Commerce and Industry. A very encouraging trend since a few years ago is joint publications of staff and students and a practice of co-supervision which is enhancing research in the department. Professor Hugo Nel Head of Department Postgraduate output maintained a very healthy trajectory, with a total of twenty masters and PhD students graduating. Graduates in Economics Honours totalled

81 Education Education is a broad field and research in the Education Department is varied. The most active research in 2010 is clustered in three areas where strong research capacity has been built up. These include: environmental education, sustainability and change processes, clustered around the Chair of Environmental Education and Sustainability; mathematics teaching and learning, clustered around the newly established Chair of Mathematics Education; and English language and literacy, which is the focus of an active group of scholars in the Department. In addition, an extensive Foundation Phase Research Project was initiated to further expand our research emphasis on education in the early years of schooling. Dr Bruce Brown Head of Department The Department has a strong commitment to the development of research capacity in South and Southern Africa. This has resulted in a strong postgraduate programme that draws students from across the region, as is evidenced in the number of conference presentations and research publications that are co-authored by students and staff. Research in mathematical education was broadened and strengthened in 2010 with the inception of a new Chair in Numeracy to focus on the early teaching and learning of mathematics. 78

85 English The Department of English continues to make a significant contribution to research at Rhodes University. In the 2010 report period, it produced one joint-authored book, two monographs, two book chapters, and ten journal publications; delivered six papers at academic gatherings; and supervised fourteen master s dissertations and seven doctoral theses. Of course, research productivity involves more than a numerical count of publications, papers and supervisions. It comprises the pursuit of knowledge exchange in all aspects of academic activity, from well-informed undergraduate teaching to cogent postgraduate guidance, from staff meetings on curriculum design to open seminars on literary-critical readings. The Department seeks to synergise these aspects of academic activity towards the creation of an environment that provides supportive undergraduate study, fosters stimulating postgraduate inquiry, and produces incisive staff scholarship.

87 English Language and Linguistics The course-work element of our Honours course was developed further this year - part of ongoing revision and consolidation - with the addition of two new modules: Language and Mind and Biolinguistics: Introduction to Minimalist Syntax (offered by Dr de Vos) and The Investigation of Interpersonal Meaning, offered by Professor Adendorff. These two, as with those already offered at the Honours level, function as potential research areas for students in their Honours year, and, importantly, beyond it. Of the three PhD students registered in the Department, one, Sally Hunt, submitted her work for examination at the end of The Discoursal Construction of Female Physical Identity in Selected Works in Children s Fiction. Two further doctoral students have since enrolled. At the Masters level, Leigh Crymble submitted her thesis Textual Representations of Migrants and the Process of Migration in Selected South African Media: A Combined Critical Discourse Analysis and Corpus Linguistics Study in December. Especially noteworthy was the high praise which Christine Marshall received for her Master s thesis titled The Role of APPRAISAL in the National Research Foundation (NRF) Rating System: Evaluation and Instruction in Peer Reviewer Reports. Christine s journal article on the role of appraisal in the NRF rating system has been widely used by the Research Office to better inform prospective rating applicants. Christine Marshall was awarded a prestigious international doctoral scholarship to study in Hong Kong, but she was tragically killed in a car accident in June This scholarship would have enabled her to continue her research in Systemic Functional Linguistics. Though this is apparently belied by the limited number of entries in this year s research report, staff were active on the research front. Two publications appeared in high quality peer-reviewed journals, and a host of others are currently in press. In addition staff members made 8 conference presentations (2 at international meetings in Toronto and New Brunswick). Of note is the fact that four conference papers were delivered by Honours students, three of whom are writing work for publication. The efforts of the Department to develop young researchers are starting to bear fruit. Professor Adendorff was elected to the Board of the Dictionary of South African English as well as to the national (PANSAB- Photo: Sophie Smith 84

89 Environmental Science The Department of Environmental Science produced research outputs across a wide range of research areas covering environment and society. Outputs were extremely pleasing on a per capita basis bearing in mind that this is a small Department with 4 staff members. We produced: 14 peer reviewed SAPSE accredited journal papers, 7 chapters in books, and 15 papers presented at conferences. A total of 61 authors contributed to the 14 peer reviewed journal publications (including those authors whose name appeared in several publications), with 47 different individuals involved from many institutions from all over the world. This is testimony to the collaborative and multidisciplinary nature of the work in which staff in Environmental Science are involved. The contribution of about 10 postgraduate students to the peer reviewed journal publications is testimony to the high quality of postgraduate research in the Department. During the first half of the year, Professor Charlie Shackleton was on sabbatical in Bangalore, India, where he undertook research in collaboration with two agencies, the Department of Crop Physiology at Bangalore Agricultural University, and ATREE (Ashoka Trust for Research in Ecology and Environ-ment). During this period he was involved in editing two books and a special edition of the journal Environmental Conservation that was devoted to Community Based Natural Resource Management. He wrote furiously during his sabbatical period, finishing material that was unfinished prior to the period of leave, and he produced new material that will appear over the next year or two. The value of a sabbatical such as this in producing new work, building foreign links and reflecting on important issues of the day cannot be adequately emphasized. Dr Sheona Shackleton attended the 2nd International Conference on Climate, Sustainability and Development in Semi-arid Regions that was held in Fortaleza, from Aug The conference provided a forum for sharing and comparing findings from research and practice on means for improving wellbeing and reducing vulnerability of peoples in arid and semi-arid regions worldwide. Together with leading scholars from Africa and North America, Dr Shackleton has championed a large and multidisciplinary collaborative research programme funded by the IDRC, addressing important questions of human adaptation to climate change. The focus of this work is on rural areas where the 86

90 Rhodes University Research Report: Environmental Science impacts of climate change and HIV/AIDS are likely to be particularly severe. Strategies and practices to strengthen livelihoods, food security, human health and resilience will be examined in this research programme. The IDRC funding has attracted postgraduate students from southern African and North America, and promises to lead to innovation in reducing human vulnerability in the face of HIV/AIDS and climate change. The Wetland Management Series has finally seen the light of day, which brings to an end a period of research and commitment to the production of a series of publications on wetland management and rehabilitation. The research was funded by the Water Research Commission and culminated in the production of 11 handbooks and tools, with Professor Fred Ellery playing a significant role in the production of the series. The material is being used nationally and internationally to foster wise wetland management and rehabilitation. Professor Fred Ellery was honoured by the International Mire Conservation Group for his contribution through research and teaching to conservation of mires and wetlands. A fairly small number of postgraduate students graduated in Nevertheless, it is particularly pleasing to note that about half of the papers delivered at Conferences during 2010 were delivered by postgraduate students, who travelled widely to attend conferences of interest to them.

92 Fine Art The Fine Art Department experienced a record year in terms of research publications and outputs. Quality research, both academic and practice as research, was conducted covering a full range of activities. Staff had scholarly chapters published in fifteen books, many of which were published internationally. Dr Ashraf Jamal contributed 10 chapters to this total and Professor Brenda Schmahmann contributed three chapters. Fourteen journal articles were also published in addition to eighteen other non-accredited submissions including exhibition catalogues. Conference participation and outputs totalled 12 with Fine Art postgraduate students contributing through representation at the South African Visual Art Historians (SAVAH) Postgraduate Symposium in Johannesburg. Practice as research outputs were also notable with participation in 33 exhibitions. Notably Ms Rat Western was a Main Program exhibitor with a solo exhibition installation, Dead Media, on the National Arts Festival. Ms Christine Dixie exhibited her innovative exhibition, The Binding, both in Johannesburg and at the National Arts Festival. The entire installation was subsequently purchased for the permanent collection of the Smithsonian Institute of America and will be exhibited at the African Art Museum in Washington DC. Both Ms Dixie and Professor Dominic Thorburn had artworks on the major South African retrospective exhibition, : From Pierneef to Gugulective, at the Iziko South African National Gallery, Cape Town. International visits saw Associate Professor Ruth Simbao making several visits abroad to research contemporary Chinese Art; and her destinations included Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai, Brussels, and Sydney. Ms Nomusa Makhubu visited the Omooba Yemisi Adedoyin Shyllon Art Foundation (OYASAF) in Lagos, Nigeria as part of her PhD research on West African film. The Fine Art Department hosted nine distinguished visitors including Dr John Leo, from the University of Rhode Island, who was a Hugh le May Visiting Fellow. Rhodes also awarded an Honorary Doctorate to the internationally acclaimed artist Marlene Dumas who enjoyed an active visit. Further 2010 research highlights were the Fine Art Department initiating and hosting a national colloquium on the theme Colour, and the papers were published in Art South Africa.

96 Geography Rhodes Geography saw the arrival of two new staff members in 2010, namely Professor Ian Meiklejohn and Dr Josh Kirshner. This was much to the relief of the long serving staff members, Professors Rowntree and Fox and Ms Gillian McGregor. The year also saw the installation of our new Environmental Tracing Laboratory and the hosting of two conferences by the Geography Department. Professor Ian Meiklejohn joined the Department of Geography in January 2010 after 15 years of service at the University of Pretoria. The first two months of his time at Rhodes were spent in the Antarctic as part of the South African Antarctic Programme summer relief voyage. Dr Joshua Kirshner recently completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Johannesburg and was appointed as lecturer in Geography at Rhodes in July Kirshner holds a PhD in city and regional planning from Cornell University and an MA in urban planning from the University of California Los Angeles. Since starting at Rhodes, he has worked on developing teaching curricula focusing on the study of cities and urban change in southern Africa, local and regional planning in South Africa, and interactions between the environment and development in Africa and Latin America. Professor Rowntree s research in 2010 has continued to focus on the identification of sediment source areas, transfer processes and sediment sinks at a range of scales. A major component of this research has been studies of the relationship between catchment scale sediment dynamics and land management changes in the Sneeuberg area of the Karoo. Professor Ian Foster from Northampton University and other UK colleagues have collaborated to use environmental magnetism and gamma spectrometry to trace and date sediment in small farm dams. The Baviaans Kloof is developing as a second research node through collaboration with the PRESENCE network managed through the Dutch group Living Lands. PRESENCE brings together research students and their supervisors, catchment managers and farmers to support best management practices aimed at restoring living landscapes in South Africa. Research support has also been provided by the Department of Water Affairs through their East Cape Restoration Programme (ECRP). Professor Rowntree was also invited to join a team of researchers from the Universities 93

97 Rhodes University Research Report: Geography of the Free State and Cape Town to develop methods for assessing environmental flow requirements for dryland rivers through a project funded by the Water Research Commission. In 2010 the focus of the research was the Mokolo River in Limpopo Province. The Nordic Africa Days conference was held in Turku, Finland at the end of September and this provided Professor Rowntree with an opportunity to keep in touch with colleagues at the Finland Futures Research Centre. Professors Fox and Rowntree also represented the University at the SANORD Symposium at the University of Johannesburg in December. Professor Fox took three months sabbatical leave in 2010 to further his research interests in the development of role playing simulations that model resource consumption, HIV/AIDS diffusion, rural and urban development, climate change, water management and the Millennium Development Goals. He was invited to run the African Catchment Game simulation at the Ecole Polytechnique Francais Graduate School of Engineering, Sceaux, France from September He also worked in collaboration with partner institutions: Högskolan Väst (University West), Trollhättan, Sweden and Finland Futures Research Centre, Turku, Finland. Professor Fox s second recent interest has been examining the diffusion and impact of Open Access Research Repositories through case studies of Rhodes University and Linköping University, Sweden Professor Fox also presented two papers at the Nordic Africa Days conference Time Space Africa: Reconnecting the Continent held at Finland s Swedish medium University, Åbo Akademi, Turku, Finland, September 30-1 October. He also presented a research seminar at Uppsala University s Geography Department on October 29th. Gillian McGregor continued with the development of a Geographical Information Systems (GIS) textbook for South Africa teachers as an e-resource, with limited editions of hard copies. Physical geography has been given a significant boost through the extension of our laboratory facilities to include an Environmental Tracing Laboratory, established in the Geography Department in Land denudation or land degradation? was the conference theme at the Southern African Association of Geomorphologists (SAAG) biennial held from 3-5th September. Fiftyseven delegates, both national and international, gathered in Grahamstown to address this pressing issue has been an active and productive year for the Geography Department at Rhodes. We have benefited especially from our two new staff members who are actively engaged in research and from our postgraduate students who have together helped to create an exciting intellectual atmosphere in the Department.

100 Geology 2010 was a constructive year for the Department of Geology, where research outputs and activity levels which had grown significantly over the preceding few years were maintained and new prospects initiated. The Department was able to maintain its recent levels of research output in the face of temporary losses including the end of the post-doctoral term of Dr Alexandre Cabral, our Xstrata Economic Geology postdoctoral fellow, and the early retirement of Professor. John Moore. The research output included 11 articles published in international journals, 24 conference presentations (including a number by our newly fortified postgraduate contingent), 3 distinguished research visitors to the Department, and 9 international visits by Departmental staff and research postgraduate students to overseas institutions to conduct, promote and disseminate original research. In 2010, the Department maintained its balance of international and domestic research. Ms Sciscio conducted laboratorybased analytical work early in the year in the Netherlands, and Dr Tsikos continued and expanded his ongoing international collaborations with colleagues in Europe and the UK towards research on South Africanbased geological and palaeoclimatic problems. Dr Bordy continued her field and research collaborations with colleagues from the Eötvös Loránd University in Hungary as well as her activities in characterizing aspects of Karoo sedimentology, particlarly studies of early vertebrate burrows. Dr Steve Prevec s research on magmatic ores in southwestern China commenced in mid-year, and new research and analytical work was initiated with colleagues from the Museum of Natural History in Berlin, Germany, and with colleagues in Sudbury and Hamilton, Canada.

104 History Professor Gary Baines delivered papers at three international conferences, in Wales, the Netherlands and Australia, in the second half of He continues to publish widely in the field of history and memory in South Africa, with a particular focus on the country s border war in the 1980s. Two important anniversaries occurred in the fiftieth anniversary of the Sharpeville massacre, and the centenary of South African Union. Professor Baines and Professor Paul Maylam presented work to commemorate Sharpeville. Professor Maylam also delivered two papers to mark the centenary of Union. Dr Alan Kirkaldy continued his research in the field of mission history, publishing an article. Dr Enocent Msindo s work on ethnicity in Zimbabwe brought a chapter in a book published in Leiden, while he continued to prepare his own book on the subject for publication. Ms Carla Tsampiras and Ms Vashna Jagarnath both made good progress with their PhD theses, which will be submitted in 2011, while Carla spent a productive period of sabbatical leave at the University of Utrecht.

106 Human Kinetics and Ergonomics In 2010 the Human Kinetics and Ergonomics Department published 8 papers, most of them conference papers following invitations to different conferences. Four accredited journal publications have been issued in national journals in The relatively low output compared to previous years is due to an increase in undergraduate and postgraduate student numbers and due to the focus of the department on organising an international conference in Grahamstown in 2011 (Human Factors in Organisational Design and Management, ODAM 2011) where 16 peer reviwed papers from the department will be presented.

108 Ichthyology and Fisheries Science Professor Tony Booth continued with his research on the impacts of alien fishes within the Great Fish and Sundays rivers, and his coelacanth research programme in Sodwana Bay. He hosted two interns from Princeton University. Professor Peter Britz and former PhD student Serge Raemaekers research on the extent and impact of the abalone poaching problem produced a review of the South African abalone fishery in the Ocean and Coastal Management Journal with recommendations on options to restore the fishery. Britz led a European Union project to provide support to the Botswana Department of Wildlife and National Parks to draft a fishery management plan for the Okavango Delta. Professor Kaiser continued to expand the research programme on aquatic animal health through new projects to study fish haematology, and by collaborating with the University of Makerere (Uganda) through student supervision. Collaboration was established with the University of Vienna (Austria) by hosting a veterinary student in South Africa to conduct research on abalone health. Discussions have been initiated with veterinarians from the University of Pretoria (Ondestepoort) around the establishment of courses in fish health for veterinary students. Professor Warwick Sauer and Dr Warren Potts continued with the research program in Angola. Their results have shown that some species of fish important to the economy of Angola may be shifting southwards into Namibian waters, possibly as a result of climate change. This southward shift in distribution has significant implications for fisheries management in both Namibia and Angola. Dr Cliff Jones, Professor Britz and Mr Martin Davies have continued their work with SAB Ltd on the recovery of water and nutrients from industrial effluent for re-use in aquaculture, agriculture or the brewery. The programme is now also funded by the Water Reserch Commisssion (WRC). Dr Jones has started a new programme on the effect of stocking density on farmed abalone growth and health. Dr Jones and Professor Britz abalone nutrition and diet development research programmes (i.e. weaning and probiotic diet development) continued in collaboration with industry partners in the Western Cape, and their kob nutrition programme continued using the department laboratories in Port Alfred. 105

119 Law Law Faculty staff maintained a steady research output in Staff delivered 14 papers at conferences, 4 of them at international conferences, produced 10 chapters in books and 7 journal articles. Staff attended 3 workshops, and 3 staff conducted international research visits. In February 2010 Professor Glover was appointed as the managing editor of the South African Law Journal, South Africa s premier law journal and Ms Kruuse was appointed to the editorial staff of that journal. Dr Kruger was appointed as the technical editor of Speculum Juris (a joint publication of University of Fort Hare and Rhodes University). The Law Faculty undertook a number of research initiatives during the year to promote research activity and output. Research colloquia and seminars provided the opportunity for staff to present their current research to each other and to obtain feedback. The Faculty also hosted research colloquia for post-graduate students. In the September vacation the Law Faculty hosted The East Cape Bench and Social Justice Conference which set out to celebrate the progressive jurisprudence of the Eastern Cape Bench of the past 16 years, and also to honour the Honourable Judges Somyalo (former Judge President) and Jones who retired from active service in April There were over 100 delegates from all over South Africa, including judges, law practitioners, law academics and students. There were four subject sessions informed by this court s work, namely Administrative Law, Enforcement of judgements and costs orders, Social security law, and Land reform. Twenty prestigious invited discussants and speakers addressed the conference in these four areas. Judge Clive Plasket (Eastern Cape Bench), the programme convenor, gave the keynote address, Judge Lex Mpati (Rhodes alumnus and President of the Supreme Court of Appeal) addressed the gala dinner, and Judge Craig Howie (former President of the Supreme Court of Appeal) provided the closing address. It is envisaged that the papers will be published in the 2011(1) edition of the journal Speculum Juris (a joint Rhodes University / University of Fort Hare publication).

128 Music and Musicology and the International Library of African Music (ILAM) During 2010 the Department of Music and Musicology continued to maintain an active profile in the academic and musical life of the University and Grahamstown, as well as regionally, nationally and internationally. Academic staff delivered research papers at international and national conferences; these were followed, in some instances, with publications in conference proceedings. Other publications emanating from this Department include peer-reviewed articles and other professional writing. In the latter category Dr Brukman, in his capacity as contributory editor, compiled numerous reviews for Cue, the daily newspaper for the National Arts Festival. In the realm of creative output - musical processes and products - Professor Duby and Dr Ramanna, as composers, made sterling contributions to the discipline, while in the field of musical performance local and national contributions were made by Professor Duby, Dr Ramanna, Ms Foxcroft and Mr Munoz. Among Mr Munoz wide-ranging performance experiences was a concert tour, with master classes, conducted throughout Zimbabwe. Two members of staff, Professor Duby and Dr Brukman, were invited to fulfil the role of external examiners in musical assessment (performance and/or music history and theory) at several universities nationally. In addition, Professor Duby, Dr Ramanna and Dr Brukman completed the task of external examining postgraduate theses and/or composition portfolios for several South African universities. Dr Brukman and Dr Radloff were invited to act as adjudicators for the Eastern Cape Youth Music Competition (East London) and Dr Brukman adjudicated at the Eastern Cape Eisteddfod (Grahamstown) and the South African Society for Music Teachers Music Competition (Port Elizabeth). Professor Duby accepted a prestigious invitation to join the adjudication panel for the SAMRO Overseas Scholarships Competition. Dr Ramanna contributed as editor of the accredited peer-reviewed journal SAMUS (volume 29, 2010) and will continue in this role, with the assistance of Dr Brukman as coeditor, for volumes 30 and 31. The research/creative output participation of the following students deserves mention: Mr Gareth Walwyn, PhD candidate in the Department, accepted an invitation from Professor Roberto Bonati to present some of his original compositions at Parma University, Parma, Italy. MMus student, Ms Lotta Matambo and a third year BMus student, Ms Yemurai 125

They also undertook a successful concert tour of Zimbabwe, and have accepted a request to repeat this venture in Ms Mia Pistorius, a third year BMus student, participated (August 2010) in two international events: International Piano Masterclass held in Varna, Bulgaria where she received coaching from Joseph Bannewitz and Adam Wodnicki, and the International Concert Working Week held in Goslar, Germany where she received instruction from Arie Vardi. Mia was also a featured soloist with the Johannesburg Philharmonic Orchestra, playing the Saint- Saëns Second Piano Concerto, in September Theresa Dwyer, a first year BMus student, on the basis of outstanding UNISA Grade 8 practical examination results, participated in the UNISA South African Music Scholarship Competition Theresa also received a SAMRO bursary in In October 2010 Theresa enlisted the assistance of Kingswood College music teacher, Dario Broccardo, to facilitate student-inspired performances of Camille Saint-Saëns' Carnival of the Animals. Dr Jeffrey Brukman Head of Department International Library for African Music (ILAM) African Music, the journal associated with ILAM, was re-accredited by the DHET in 2009 and as of 2010 appears on the official list of accredited journals. Professor Thram (Editor) completed Volume 8 of African Music with volume 8/4 (2010). This marks four consecutive years of this journal being published. The 2011 issue will be the first issue of Volume 9. African Music enjoys wide circulation via university libraries throughout the world, as well as individual subscribers with the international community of scholars responding very positively to this journal s resuscitation. It is the only scholarly, peer-reviewed journal devoted to research of African Music. Also significant is the fact that it is published in Africa, by ILAM, not by a publishing house in the USA or UK as is the case with most academic journals. The Red Location Music History Project: With a grant from the National Heritage Council that carried over from 2009 into 2010, Professor Thram coordinated the mounting of a Jazz Heritage Concert staged at Centenary Hall in New Brighton, Port Elizabeth on 27 March The concert was recorded on audio and video by ILAM. From the concert footage, ILAM produced a documentary DVD of the Jazz Heritage Concert as a major tangible creative output of the project. Oral history interviews with jazz musicians from the Eastern Cape continue, as does building of an archive at ILAM of all data, including video and audio recordings of interviews, photographs and newspaper clippings acquired from participants and digital copies of Jazz recordings digitized from the private collections of participants. A final report on the project was lodged with the National Heritage Council in October A handover ceremony for the DVD is being planned to take place at the Red Location Museum early in Travelling Museum Exhibit - For Future Generations - Hugh Tracey and the International Library of African Music: In 2010, ILAM developed a professional level museum exhibit and published a 104 page highly illustrated exhibit catalogue (Professor Thram editor), containing a collection of scholarly articles and images from the ILAM photo archive, entitled For Future Generations - Hugh Tracey and the International Library of African Music. The exhibit premiered at the Origins Centre Museum at the University of the Witwatersrand, 14 October A major portion of the costs to mount the exhibit, which serves as the community outreach component of the ILAM cataloguing and digitizing project, formed part of the Rand Merchant Bank Expressions Programme grant to ILAM for cataloguing and digitizing the Hugh Tracey collection. ILAM Music Heritage Project SA: ILAM was awarded a grant from the National Arts Council to fund the development of music education textbooks that utilize African music recordings from the ILAM archive. The textbooks are being designed to meet the national arts and culture curriculum mandates 126

133 Pharmacy Research activities in the Faculty of Pharmacy continue to flourish, resulting in research outputs from staff and postgraduate students that have had an impact both nationally and internationally. Staff and postgraduate students published 21 journal articles in accredited journals and 6 book chapters and/or books in In addition, at least forty research outputs and articles were published during the year, reflecting a thriving research culture in the Faculty of Pharmacy and a productive The professional visibility of the Faculty was also evident with the publication of several articles in professional and related journals. Large numbers of staff and postgraduate students in the Faculty attended various local conferences including the South African Association of Hospital and Institutional Pharmacists (SAAHIP) and the South African Academy of Pharmaceutical Sciences. Several staff and postgraduates made their mark internationally, presenting papers at international conferences in the USA, Turkey, Slovakia, Portugal, Switzerland, Thailand, India and Egypt. A major highlight of the year included the conferring of two Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD), five Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) and two MSc degrees at the Graduation ceremony in April of Professors Walker (3), Kanfer (1) and Dowse (1) supervised the PhD degrees and Professors Walker and Daya the MSc degrees. Professor Wilson assisted with the supervision of the PharmD candidates. This is the highest total number of doctoral level degrees awarded at a single graduation ceremony in the history of the Faculty of Pharmacy. A second highlight of the year was the election of Professor Kanfer as a Fellow of the American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists (AAPS) in recognition of his contribution to the Pharmaceutical Sciences internationally. Professor Kanfer is arguably the top Pharmaceutical Scientist in South Africa and we are extremely proud of his achievement. He was also elected as Chair of the Bioequivalence Focus Group of the AAPS. A third highlight was the award of the best academic presentation to Professor Dowse at the SAAHIP conference and the best poster award to Ms Lancaster who is a PharmD candidate at the same meeting. The Faculty of Pharmacy hosted a number of international visitors including Professor Verbeeck from the Catholiqué University of Louvain, Dr Patterson from North Dakota State University at Fargo, Professor Glass from James Cook University in Australia and 130

138 Philosophy Staff and graduate students of the Philosophy Department were once again active in research, publishing six articles in accredited journals or book collections. They continued their active engagement with the philosophical community at home and abroad, with 26 presentations made at conferences in South Africa. We are particularly proud of our graduate students record of publications and conference participation; the department s programme of seminars and reading groups is working well to prepare our students to write and present academic papers for the wider philosophical community. The department was pleased to host a number of distinguished visitors from other South African philosophy departments, and from abroad, including visitors from Australia, America, England and the Netherlands. Professor Tom Martin Head of Department Professor Pedro Tabensky Photo: Sophie Smith Among the staff, Professor Pedro Tabensky made his mark in journalism and as a public intellectual, writing opinion pieces in various newspapers and hosting two extremely successful round tables on Critical Issues in Higher Education - one on The Aims of Higher Education ; the other on Academic Freedom. Engagement with the South African context was strong this year, with Dr Samantha Vice publishing a paper on the experience of being white in South Africa, and Professor Ward Jones continuing his exploration of the social role of philosophers by publishing a paper on philosophers and poverty. 135

141 Physics and Electronics At a review meeting in December 2010, the Department resolved to reorganise existing research units and divisions into new groups as follows: Particle and Nuclear Physics Experimental Solid State Physics General Relativity and Gravitation Space Physics Radio Astronomy Experimental Solid State Physics Research Group The following were the main activities of the Experimental Solid State Physics research group in 2010: 1. Professor M L Chithambo served as a member of the International Affairs Committee for the 1st International conference on New Trends in Luminescence and Phosphor Materials held at the University of Sonora in Hermossillo, Mexico, in October Professor M L Chithambo will also serve in this capacity for the same meeting in The meetings have been conceived as fora for discussion of the most recent advances in synthesis and characterisation of phosphor materials and their applications. 2. Professor ML Chithambo undertook a research visit to McDaniel College in Westminster, USA in October 3. Professor ML Chithambo undertook a research visit to Aalto University School of Science and Technology in Espoo, Finland in February 4. Dr Schadrack Nsengiyumva was appointed in July Dr Nsengiyumva s field of research is Optically stimulated luminescence in ion-implanted quartz. In addition to the above activities, Professor Chithambo continued to serve as a reviewer for several international journals. Nuclear Physics During 2010, Dr David Roux continued to supervise one MSc student in experimental nuclear physics, Ms Katharine Henninger (06h0128). In addition, Dr Roux participated in an experiment at Ithemba LABS to investigate dipole transitions in 232U, during April He served on the Program Advisory Committee (PAC) of Ithemba LABS until April 2010, when his three-year term ended. 138

142 Rhodes University Research Report: Physics and Electronics 139 Dr Roux was elected chairman of the Ithemba LABS user-group (UG) committee in He maintains a collaboration with Ithemba LABS and also Mississippi State University (MSU) where he will undertake a three-month research visit in During 2010, Dr Roux co-authored two peerreviewed papers. Space Physics The Space Physics group in collaboration with the Hermanus Magnetic Observatory (HMO) completed a successful research year in 2010, which included graduating students, published papers and attendance at a number of international conferences. Patrick Sibanda, who graduated with his PhD in April 2010, left for the USA where he has taken up a postdoctoral position at the University of Michigan. Mpho Tshisaphungo, who graduated with her MSc degree in April 2010, joined the HMO as a Space Weather Assistant in the newly created Space Weather Unit. In 2010 two new NASSP MSc students joined the group bringing the total number of continuing students to 4 PhD and 4 MSc, of which 1 PhD and 1 MSc student will graduate in April The group has produced a total of 9 published papers with at least 6 more submitted to journals for review. During the course of the year, Dr McKinnell undertook international scientific research visits to the USA, Czech Republic (with 2 students) and Argentina. In addition, 2 students visited the University of Nairobi in Kenya, 1 student made a research visit to Hungary and 2 students attended a Space Weather school in Italy. Dr McKinnell and 2 PhD students attended and presented papers at the Committee on Space Research (COSPAR) Scientific Assembly in Bremen, Germany in July. The entire group made presentations at the annual South African Institute of Physics (SAIP) conference. At the annual International Reference Ionosphere (IRI) meeting which was held during the COSPAR assembly, Dr McKinnell was elected to Chair of the IRI working group. This is a group of about 30 international scientists who work together on improvements to the global IRI model. In May 2010 the group hosted four visitors from the Czech Republic led by Dr Dalia Buresova who organized the installation of a Doppler Radar system centered on Hermanus. This is a joint project between South Africa and the Czech Republic and provides the group with a key piece of research infrastructure. In addition during 2010 the group also hosted visitors from Kenya (Professor Paul Baki plus 3 students), the USA (Dr Dieter Bilitza and Dr John Richardson), and Nigeria (Dr Elijah Oyeyemi). Radio Astronomy The work of the Radio Astronomy Research Group is focussed on the requirements of three major radio telescopes: the Square Kilometre Array, the MeerKAT and the C- BASS. The C-BASS telescope is a collaborative project to measure the properties of the magnetic field permeating the Milky Way. The MeerKAT project is a multi-million rand project to build an SKA precursor telescope in South Africa and Professor Jonas is Chief Project Scientist and Project Engineer for this project. The MeerKAT has attracted very significant international interest, and collaboration partners include the Universities of Cambridge, Oxford and Manchester in the UK, and Berkeley, Cornell, Caltech, Wisconsin and Illinois in the USA. The MeerKAT will be the world's premier instrument for centimetre wavelength radio astronomy and is the biggest investment made by the South African government into scientific infrastructure.

148 Psychology Professor Dave Edwards and Professor Ann Edwards retired at the end of 2009 after long and illustrious careers in Psychology, however, they have continued their association with the department through a research contract. This arrangement has proved to be very fruitful. Professor Dave Edwards presented a key note address at the Conference of the International Society of Schema Therapy (ISST) held in Berlin and another paper at a local conference, as well as publishing three papers in international journals. In addition to a paper published in the Journal of Psychology in Africa, Professor Ann Edwards facilitated many of her past and present students in terms of presenting papers at conferences. Eight of her students were involved as presenters or co-presenters on eight papers at local and international conferences! We also have some new voices contributing to the department s research outputs. Natalie Donaldson, who joined the department as Mellon lecturer in 2009, attended the International Lesbian,Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Psychology Summer Institute held at the University of Michigan, where she presented a poster. Elron Fouten, who joined us in July 2010, co-published an article in Journal of Psychology in Africa, and presented a conference paper. Staff members have been active in publishing and presenting papers. Dr Young, Mr Knoetze, Professor Macleod and Dr Saville Young published journal articles and Professor Wilbraham and Dr Saville Young published book chapters. Professor Wilbraham, Professor Guilfoyle, Dr Saville Young, Dr van Ommen and Ms Appalsamy presented papers at international conferences, and Ms King, Mr Steele, Dr van Ommen, Mr Bohmke, Dr Meehan, Professor Guilfoyle and Mr Knoetze presented papers at local conferences. A research programme entitled Critical Sexual and Reproductive Health Studies is led by Professor Catriona Macleod, with Professor Louise Vincent from Political and International Studies as main collaborator. It is a multidisciplinary and multi-institutional programme that covers a range of areas, including teenage pregnancy, abortion and sexual education. Funding from SANPAD has also been secured for the programme. Some of the research that forms the foundation of this programme has been taken up by the national Department of Health, with Professor Macleod being commissioned to 145

We welcomed Professor Lou-Marie Kruger from Stellenbosch University and Professor Gobodo-Madikizela from University of Cape Town as distinguished guests in Professor Kruger presented the key-note address at our post-graduate conference. This conference, run for the first time last year, proved to be a great success with a range of Honours, Masters and Doctoral students presenting their work. Professor Gobodo-Madikizela was the recipient of the Social Change award. She presented a public lecture, which was well received. Both scholars facilitated workshops with our postgraduate students.

153 Rhodes University Research Report: School of Languages a colloquium in Pretoria on Homer Studies and he presented a paper on judgement and retribution which is now being considered for publication. Russell Kaschula was a Keynote Speaker at an international conference in Berlin, Germany where he presented a paper on the relationship between traditional oral poetry and contemporary spoken word artists such as Lebo Mashile and Lesego Rampolokeng. The SANTED team attended a number of workshops related to multilingualism as well as the SANTED close-out conference in Johannesburg where our work was presented. Professor Kaschula and Mrs Nosilela edited 2 editions of the SAFOS journal which contain selected articles from a conference organised by us, including 5 articles presented by Rhodes academics. Three articles appeared in a 2009 edition and 2 articles appeared in a 2010 edition. The School now boasts a record number of postgraduate students, including 6 PhD, approximately 25 MA students and 50 Honours students. Professor Russell Kaschula examined 2 MA theses from the University of Stellenbosch and a PhD thesis from Unisa. Dr Godfrey Meintjes was external examiner for an MA in creative writing in the Graduate School of Humanities at UCT, whilst John Jackson acted as an external examiner for a thesis from UCT. Student numbers grew substantially in In many courses numbers doubled whilst they tripled in others. New and innovative programmes are being developed and offered in the School of Languages. African Languages staff offered vocation-specific language courses in the Faculties of Pharmacy, Law and Education as well as piloting a course in Journalism in The SANTED Project team also taught isixhosa communication skills courses to staff at the University. This team also continued to develop an English-IsiXhosa glossary for Computer Science to support the teaching of Computer Science to isixhosa mother-tongue students has been a year of continued growth for the School of Languages at Rhodes University. This is attributable to the absolute dedication provided by members of the School, both in the carrying out of their teaching responsibilities as well as research. The growth in research outputs is clear evidence of this commitment, and this is augmented by staff furthering their studies and obtaining degrees within the School. It is the aim of the School to reposition itself by improving staff qualifications, continuing with teaching and research of excellence, improving our publication output and, under my leadership, to entrench the School as a leading School of Languages, a School where students are treated with ubuntu (respect) and where we form one unified entity.

160 Zoology & Entomology 2010 was yet another exceedingly productive research year for the department with all staff, postdoctoral fellows, research associates and students contributing to research output. Over 60 papers on a diversity of topics were published in top peer-reviewed journals. In addition, staff, postdoctoral researchers and many students travelled widely to attend and present their research findings at major international conferences and workshops in South Africa, Brazil, Spain, Germany, Argentina, Finland, USA, Thailand, Czech Republic, New Zealand, and Canada. Once again the Vice- Chancellor s Senior Research award was won by a member of staff, this time by Professor Alan Hodgson. In addition, Professor William Froneman was awarded a Science Research Focus Area development grant by the university. Dr Nicole Richoux s research was given a significant boost by the acquisition of a stateof-the-art Gas Chromatograph/Mass Spectrometer (funded by the NRF and Rhodes University). This facility will serve as a focal point for training postgraduate students and post doctoral researchers in lipid ecology, and it represents an important new platform for national and international collaborations. Towards the end of the year, Professor Martin Hill secured a major grant from the Working for Water programme which will enable his research group to continue their efforts to find new ways of controlling invasive water weeds. Professor Christopher McQuaid s marine ecological research took him to various parts of the globe including the UK, Sweden, Argentina and Chile. His students also travelled widely conducting research in Brunei, Tristan da Cunha, Zanzibar, Kenya and along the South African coast from the border of Namibia to Mozambique. Christopher also supervised a number of overseas postgraduate students who are registered at the Universities of Barcelona, Florence and Sydney. These students conducted research for their theses at the department. Some of his group successfully completed the second ACEP cruise from Port Elizabeth to Cape Town in collaboration with groups from NMMU and UCT. Finally within the group, Dr Porri launched an EU funded project on mangrove crabs in the Eastern Cape and Kenya. For Professor Adrian Craig a special highlight was the opportunity to visit Katanga (DRC) with Belgian colleagues, to attempt to relocate some weaver taxa known only as museum specimens from 50 years ago. He also spent part of his sabbatical leave in the UK visiting museum collections in Tring, Liverpool and Oxford, collecting data for a study of moult in tropical starlings. 157

161 Rhodes University Research Report: Zoology & Entomology The staff of the department continue to serve on both national and international committees. Professor William Froneman is not only chairperson of the South African National Committee for Oceanographic Research, he currently serves on one of the NRF evaluation committees and was elected convenor of the committee for Professor Alan Hodgson was re-elected secretary of the International Society for Invertebrate Reproduction. Professor Adrian Craig was elected chairman of the committee preparing for the next Pan- African Ornithological Congress, and during 2010 he visited Nigeria which will host the next conference. Professor Martin Villet was appointed to the Steering Committee of the NRF's South African Biosystematics Initiative. The department not only continued to attract postdoctoral researchers from around the globe, but also hosted a number of overseas research scientists including Professor Ross Coleman (Sydney), Drs Katy Nicastro and Gerardo Zardi (Faro), Dr Stefano Cannicci (Florence), Professor Steve Compton (Leeds) and Dr Walter Sontag (Vienna).

168 Institutes, Centres and Units Centre for Higher Education, Research, Teaching and Learning (CHERTL) around methodological and theoretical issues relevant to their studies. Supervision is provided by academics from a range of departments across the University including CHERTL. In 2010, fifteen candidates enrolled in the programme. The Programme also hosted a number of Pre-docs - candidates who were not yet ready to enroll for doctoral level work but who it was judged would benefit from a year of structured reading. At the end of 2010, five Pre-Docs converted to fully registered doctoral scholars saw the first enrolments in CHERTL s Higher Education Doctoral Programme coordinated by Professor Sioux McKenna. The programme provides structural support in addition to traditional one-on-one supervision in the form of three Doctoral Weeks per year and an online learning space on RUConnected. Candidates enrolled in the programme are researching a broad range of topics in the field of Higher Education Studies and Doctoral Weeks support their work by providing a series of engagements Early in 2010, Professor Chrissie Boughey completed the second tranche of a major piece of research commissioned by the Council on Higher Education. This commissioned work uses audit data to provide a meta-analysis of teaching and learning at twenty two of the twenty three South African universities. The first tranche, completed in 2009, examined teaching and learning at five research intensive universities. The second tranche looked at teaching and learning at five universities of technology. A proposal based on the theoretical and methodological framework for the research was submitted to the NRF towards the end of the year. Funding of just over R1 million was awarded and provided funding for six doctoral scholars to be recruited to pursue work on a Social Inclusion in Higher Education 165

169 Rhodes University Research Report: CHERTL project. The Social Inclusion Project involves collaboration with researchers from a range of South African universities including the University of Cape Town, Cape Peninsula University of Technology, the University of KwaZulu-Natal and the University of Venda saw CHERTL staff attending a range of international conferences. Dr Jo-Anne Vorster and Mandy Hlengwa attended the 6th International Basil Bernstein Symposium in Brisbane Australia in July. Both are using Bernstein in their research. Markus Mostert presented a paper co-authored with Professor Jen Snowball of Economics at the Association for Learning Technology s conference in Nottingham in the United Kingdom and Professor Chrissie Boughey attended the 5th Higher Education CloseUp Conference at the University of Lancaster, also in the United Kingdom. The 6th Higher Education CloseUp Conference will be hosted at Rhodes University in In addition Nompilo Tshuma presented a paper electronically at the World Conference on Information Technology (WCIT) in Istanbul, Turkey in October. Publications of note include former Mellon lecturer Mandy Hlengwa s first article in an accredited journal. The article, Infusing service-learning in curricula: A theoretical exploration of infusion possibilities was based on her proposal for doctoral research. In addition, Dina Belluigi achieved a publication in the prestigious Assessment and Evaluation in Higher Education with Brent Meistre. Towards the end of the year, CHERTL was fortunate to host Dr Karl Maton of the University of Sydney for a series of seminars offered to doctoral students. Maton has extended the work of British Sociologist Basil Bernstein into a more overarching theory which is proving enormously useful in understanding a range of issues in higher education and which is being used by a number of candidates on the doctoral programme. Maton s seminars were very well attended with participants from a range of departments and from other universities attending.

171 Electron Microscope Unit During 2010, despite numerous technical problems with both the scanning and transmission electron microscopes, the unit continued to fulfill its role of facilitating the research of both staff and students (undergraduate and postgraduate). The majority of users were from Rhodes University, but the unit also assisted researchers from other Eastern Cape universities, museums and industry. In the middle of the year the microscope facilities within the unit were improved with the purchase and installation of a new state of the art Olympus stereo microscope with image analysis capabilities. At the April science graduation ceremony, Shirley Pinchuck (Principal Technical Officer in the unit) received an M.Sc. for her work on the structure of the defensive glands of some marine pulmonate snails. In addition to publishing another paper from her thesis, she also travelled to Brazil in September to present research results at the World Electron Microscopy congress in Rio de Janeiro. Professor Alan Hodgson presented some of their joint research on pulmonate defensive glands at the World Malacology congress in Thailand. the facilities, but were also afforded the opportunity of using the unit s scanning electron microscope.

172 The Institute for Environmental Biotechnology (EBRU) Several major projects were successfully concluded by staff of The Institute for Environmental Biotechnology, Rhodes University (EBRU) during the course of A full scale feasibility study including life cycle assessment of algae-to-energy systems was concluded for Sasol. A screening programme for NOVUS International LLC (St Charles, MO) indicated that its propriety molecule HMTBA has the potential to increase lipid and calorific value of cultivated microalgae. Several contract projects were also concluded. Amongst these a feasibility study for implementing an Integated Algal Ponding System (IAPS) system at Riebeek East, an evaluation of the small scale IAPS introduced by Peoples Power Africa (PPA) at Three Crowns preparatory school, and a feasibility study for exploiting biomethane as an energy feedstock for the East London Industrial Zone (ELIZ). Technical papers on operation and implementation of IAPS for waste water treatment were published in Water, Sewage & Effluent (Jan 2010) and the Dutch journal, H2O (volume 13: 22-23). Undoubtedly, increased publicity and the outcomes of research endeavours assisted a bid by the EBRU-DHV-SSI-Makana Municipality consortium to win a Partners for Water (The Netherlands) grant to construct a full scale demonstration IAPS facility in Grahamstown. The project is scheduled to start in 2011, will run for two years, and increase the capacity of the Grahamstown waste water treatment plant by mega litres per day. Studies continued on the Anglo Thermal Coal sponsored Fungcoal process for the remediation of compacted and damaged soil due to open cast coal mining. Dr Eric Igbinigie and Emeritus Professor Peter Rose published their findings on the phytobioconversion of coal in the plant/coal rhizosphere. In addition, large demonstration scale trials were established on several coal mines in the Emalahleni area to confirm the technical feasibility of the Fungcoal soil decompaction technology and its application in the productive rehabilitation of open cast mining land. Several important visitors were received by EBRU but none more so than the Board of the Protein Research Foundation (PRF). The PRF invited Professor Keith Cowan to address its board at its annual general meeting held in Grahamstown (August 2010) on aspects of Environmental Biotechnology at Rhodes University including bioprocess technologies for waste treatment, energy and product valorization with a view to supporting the current research effort. EBRU was also invited to join a bid for a European Framework Programme 7 (FP7) call under Energy: Development of new or improved bio-energy carriers. Within the ambit of this FP7 call 169

174 Institute for the Study of English in Africa (ISEA) The ISEA maintained a strong research performance. The Director, Professor Laurence Wright, gave a public lecture, Learning to be Original and published on Australasian Shakespeare, on J.M. Coetzee, and on politics in South African railway poetry. Dr Monica Hendricks contributed a chapter on resourcing and inequality in Eastern Cape schools to a forthcoming book-length survey of the Province, as well as work on the teaching of prepositions in the additional language classroom. Chris Mann, Rhodes Professor of Poetry, launched a new collection, Home from Home, at several venues in South Africa and the United Kingdom. He also notched up the remarkable achievement of coming fourth in the recent elections for the prestigious Oxford Chair of Poetry, a position held in earlier years by figures such as Matthew Arnold, C. Day Lewis, W.H. Auden and Seamus Heaney. Madeyandile Mbelani published on approaches to visual literacy in the additional language classroom, while Ntombekhaya Fulani contributed work on disparities in the construction of the subject seen in school textbooks in English and in African languages. Both these researchers are making good progress with their higher degree studies. Highlights of 2010 in the Institute included the formation of the Eastern Cape English Educators Association (ECEEA), which took place during the Teachers Networking Conference run by the Institute in April; and the conceptualization of a book on the rural education crisis in the Province, to be completed in The Teachers Networking Conference was attended by some 160 teachers, with a keynote address by Professor Brahm Fleisch from the University of the Witwatersrand. The core of the new provincial English teachers professional association consists of graduates from the ISEA s own accredited teacher education programmes since The Eastern Cape English Educators Association, which is governed by a ratified Constitution and a Provincial Council elected according to its provisions, aims to foster teachers professional development by offering district level workshops; by providing an Association publication carrying expert articles and writing by both teachers and their pupils; and through a biennial Conference, open to all language teachers. It is hoped the Association will mature into a broader forum to encourage the professional development of teachers in all languages used in the Province. The book on the rural education crisis in the Eastern Cape seeks to capture some of the educational and contextual understanding of the issues facing rural education, amassed in the Institute over the past ten years. It is being 171

175 Rhodes University Research Report: Institute for the Study of English in Africa authored by ISEA staff and colleagues from the Rhodes Education Department, and seeks to highlight both problems and possible solutions evident in the dire educational situation facing rural schooling. The Eastern Cape Wordfest, convened by the ISEA, and providing an hospitable platform from which the Province s word artists can share their work, exchange views on cultural developments and issues, and share in the life of the University and the Festival, was postponed to 2011 because of the pressures acccasioned by the World Cup. The ISEA s new Master s in Creative Writing programme received the final go-ahead from the University. This new degree, only the second Masters degree dedicated to creative writing registered on South Africa's National Qualification Framework, offers a major emphasis on an independent writing project, co-supervised by practicing writers, and rich ancillary support in the form of seminars, a reflective journal, a reading programme, and collegial support in an environment fully conducive to creative work. The programme will launch in February 2011, with a cohort of eight candidates. We hope to take the programme to scale in 2012, adding a parttime option which will prove very attractive to those who cannot afford to study full time.

178 The Institute of Social and Economic Research The highlight of 2010 for the ISER was the launch of the Social Policy Programme inaugurated by Gavin Williams of Oxford University. Gavin Williams did the 2nd Dr AB Xuma Social Policy Memorial Lecture series with a lecture entitled The ideas of social policy and development policy. The idea of development, he argued needs a thorough dialectical probing. Development he suggested is a system of ideas rather than a definable concrete process. The study of development is problematic and paradoxical because it is both an end and a means. Freedom cannot be attained without development, yet freedom is a prerequisite for development to transpire. He maintained that in the complex interrelation between what he described as the trilogy of social policy, development policy and citizenship, social policy itself is often a result of equitable goals which manifest unintended consequences, which in turn give rise to new policy. The first law of the social sciences is the law of unintended consequences. With these and other critical insights, the ISER research and teaching has increasingly centered on critical social policy. New MA students, new SANPAD grants and the visit of several high profile government officials and international academics to the Institute and our Summer School activities now reflect this new focus. We hosted lectures and seminars by Wiseman Magasela, (Chief Director of Department of Social Development- DSD), and Professor Ndangwa Noyoo (Research Specialist at DSD and former head of Social Work at Wits University) and Ms Mastoera Sadan (in the Presidency), Dr Rebecca Surrender (Oxford University) and Professor Yusuf Sayed (Sussex University). Professors Ruiters and Van Niekerk were invited by the Department of Social Development to be part of a specialist team of professors who provided training in social policy analysis for senior government officials from the SADC region. The training took place over a week in Swakopmund, Namibia. The annual Summer School, held at Rhodes University in September 2010 attracted over twenty Eastern Cape civic and trade unions organizations. Presenters included leading activists, top government officials and professors from Rhodes and other universities. It is our fourth year of having the school which has been generously funded by the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation. Professor Van Niekerk with the Eastern Cape Socio-Economic Council (ECSECC) also 175

179 Rhodes University Research Report: The Institute of Social and Economic Research initiated and organized a Health Colloquium attended by over 50 individuals including the top practitioners and health policy analysts in SA. Dr Rebecca Surender of Oxford University and ISER Research Associate, provided a keynote address on the reform of the UK National Health Service. In 2010, ISER undertook to organize a major cross national study (South Africa, India, China, Netherlands and Ireland) on the Developmental State and Social Policy. The lead researcher is Professor Van Niekerk whose concept paper will inform an International Conference on the developmental state, to be held in Ireland in Professor Van Niekerk also worked on an edited volume entitled Social Policy in a Developing World: Comparative Development and Debates. The 13 chapter volume is co-edited with Professor Robert Walker and Dr Rebecca Surender of the University of Oxford, and is scheduled for publication in 2012 by Elgar Press. A second major highlight was the prodigious output of research publications by Professor Moller who also retired at the end the The ISER-based Journal (JCAS) under Professor Southall s leadership and which now comes out 4 times a year boasted a total of downloads - a 77% increase. Professor Fred Hendricks, Dean of Humanities will assume the editorship of JCAS from January The Eastern Cape book edited by Professor Ruiters entitled The Fate of Eastern Cape was recently published by UKZN Press and is now available in book-shops. It has been favourably reviewed as a pioneering contribution to the study of the politics and social policies of the Eastern Cape. The Municipal Services Project based at the ISER under Professor Ruiters, will publish a book Alternatives to Privatisation in The book will be published jointly by Routledge (New York) which is the primary publisher, the HSRC press in South Africa (the largest publisher in Africa, and with free on-line access to their books) and co-publishers for India and Latin America. In 2010 the ISER, through Dr Michelle Cocks was invited to host a major international conference at Rhodes University. The ISER in 2010 continued to be supported by able and energetic administrators (Debbie, Valance and Julie) and we are very grateful for their support. A number of staff changes took place in Towards the end of year, Professor Robert Van Niekerk took over as the new director of the ISER with the departure of Professor Ruiters who has taken up a chair in governance at the University of the Western Cape. Professor Valerie Moller, after more than a decade of service to ISER, also retired at the end of She has been appointed Emeritus Professor and continues her research and writing at the ISER. We also enjoyed loyal support from our Board which was chaired by Professor Webb. Nova de Villiers who has been at ISER for over 20 years also announced her retirement as administrator of the JCAS at the ISER.

187 Rhodes University Mathematics Education Project (RUMEP) Twenty-nine teachers on the Advanced Certificate in Education (ACE) presented their classroom research at a conference on the 27th & 28th September The teachers are requested to design and carry out a small research project using a simple action research cycle. The evaluation of this module takes the form of a conference presentation (at a conference arranged by RUMEP), and a written report (conference paper) which must be submitted. Although there were many challenges for teachers in 2010, some quality papers were presented. A RUMEP staff member, Mr Thomas Haywood, is in the process of preparing for the final phase of the Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship program in the USA. It will provide him with an opportunity to spend 10 months in the USA on a professional development programme. RUMEP engaged in mathematics workshops for teachers and learners centred on the Soccer World Cup. The workshops were held locally and in Port Elizabeth. They were a huge success and we were able to relate mathematics to real life activities. Science and Technology Education (SAARMSTE). All papers were accepted for the conference in North West Province in January Mathematics workshops were conducted for teachers of the Stutterheim Education Trust in the Debe Nek district during The hands-on workshops were well received by teachers who had difficulty seeing the interconnectedness between common fractions and decimal fractions. Other topics in mathematics were addressed as well. Mr Tom Penlington facilitated the AMESA Mathematics challenge for learners in local schools. Less schools participated in the challenge due to the abnormal school year in Dr Rose Spanneberg Director: RUMEP In 2010 seven staff members submitted research papers for the Southern African Association for Research in Mathematics, 184

189 Affiliates Albany Museum The Albany Museum under its Freshwater Invertebrates Department conducts research on the systematics and biogeography of aquatic insects. In the year under review two students respectively completed an MSc degree (Terence Bellingan) describing the use of aquatic insects to advise on river conservation priorities and a PhD (Helen James) involving a worldwide study on the systematics and biogeography of a unique family of Mayflies. Research on molecular and morphological systematics of Alder and Dobsonflies has been conducted by a postdoctoral student (Ben Price) in the Albany Museum at SAIAB and Rhodes University. Research on caddisfly systematics, biodiversity and flight behaviour has been conducted by Dr de Moor and Geoff McIlleron. All these fields of research have helped get a better knowledge of the diversity of these insects and helped evaluate water and environmental status of rivers studied. This in turn contributed to help set conservation priorities for aquatic ecosystems. The Herbarium section, under the leadership of Tony Dold is currently collaborating on two formal research projects. The first project is a revision of the genus Albuca (Hyacinthaceae) together with Rhodes University Department of Botany and Alicante University in Spain. The second project is Untold Stories - Assessing African environmental perceptions in relation to past and present portrayal and connections to landscape and Implications for biodiversity and its conservation and cultural heritage policies. This project is conducted with the Institute for Social and Economic Research (ISER) at Rhodes University. The Herbarium is collaborating on an informal research project led by Pumlani Cimi with the Anthropology section of the museum under Pumeza Mntonintshi on Ethno-Botanical study of calabashes as used by AmaXhosa of the Eastern Cape. The official nationally and internationally recognised research specialization of the Entomology and Arachnology section focuses on Aculeate Hymenoptera in particular hunting wasps, pollen wasps and bees. The fields of study are taxonomy, systematics, nesting, flower associations, and roles, as applicable, as predators and pollinators. This area of research is led by Drs Fred and Sara Gess who are rated NRF scientists. The Archaeology section of the museum under Dr Johan Binneman continues with its research on pre-colonial archaeology including Rock Art. This section is unlocking new information which will be useful for rewriting the past. 186

190 Rhodes University Research Report: Albany Museum Focused research in the Earth Sciences section by Dr Billy de Klerk has been on recent dinosaur discoveries that were made in both the lower Jurassic sediments of the Karoo Basin and the early Cretaceous Kirkwood Formation sediments of the Algoa Basin near Uitenhage. Of particular note is the discovery of two beautifully preserved specimens of the primitive Jurassic herbivorous dinosaur Heterodontosaurus - one a complete skeleton and the other a single skull. Research associates, Dr Rose Prevec and Mr Robert Gess continue with their productive research in Permian plants and Devonian esturine ecosystems of the Eastern Cape respectively. Dr Prevec s speciality is the Permian Karoo floras of South Africa, particularly the taxonomy and biostratigraphic utility of the enigmatic plant Glossopteris, which thrived across Gondwana for some 60 million years, producing most of the southern hemisphere s coal reserves. Robert Gess completed his doctoral thesis in January 2011 and will graduate at Wits in June. Congratulations to him for literally putting Grahamstown on the palaeo map of Gondwana. The History section of the museum under the capable leadership of Fleur Way-Jones and William Jervois, is informally involved in genealogical research. This section has also been requested to undertake research for the soon to be established museum in Alice. Before his retirement this year Dr Jim Cambray of the Ichthyology section was very active in studies of the Cape Rocky and endangered fish endemic only to the rivers of the Eastern Cape. While research at the Albany Museum is contributing to our understanding of the past it is also playing a meaningful role in unlocking our futures.

192 National English Literary Museum (NELM) The National English Literary Museum houses the world s most comprehensive collection of resources relating to southern African literature in English. This collection is researched by museum staff and the university community for academic papers, exhibitions, popular publications and presentations. In 2010 The National English Literary Museum celebrated its 30th anniversary. Lynne Grant and Andrew Martin paid tribute to NELM in three publications during the year. Paul Walters, Professor Emeritus (Rhodes University), and Jeremy Fogg, have been researching the life and works of Olive Schreiner and her husband, Samuel Cronwright, for some years. The latest chapter in their project appeared in a special edition of English Studies in Africa. Their considerable research output on this topic provides for academic and popular presentations at NELM s satellite museum in Cradock, Schreiner House. Thomas Jeffery s paper on Thomas Mofolo, the first African novelist, was based on his research some years ago for an exhibition. A paper presented by Ann Torlesse at the Alan Paton Centre 20th Anniversary Conference held in Pietermaritzburg in 2009, and charting the important relationship that existed between Alan Paton and the publishing firm David Philip, was published in the English Academy Review. Both Basil Mills and Crystal Warren presented papers at the 2nd UNISA conference on Reading Promotion and Storytelling for Children in Pretoria in October In March 2010 NELM hosted the South African Museums Association Eastern Cape branch conference at Schreiner House in Cradock. Beverley Thomas delivered the keynote address and Ann Torlesse, Basil Mills and Jeremy Fogg presented a paper on Reconciliation through Archives. NELM always mounts a new exhibition to coincide with the National Arts Festival. This year it also coincided with the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa so it was thought appropriate to focus on sport in literature. The resulting exhibition titled Sport is darned crazy, sir! included fiction, biography, poetry, drama, children s literature and cartoons. Other exhibitions were produced for mounting at external venues, both locally and abroad. Ms Beverley Thomas Director: National English Literary Museum 189
