EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
OPERATING CONTEXT, GOVERNANCE AND RISK MANAGEMENT
The Faculty of Humanities has eighteen departments, comprising four discipline clusters, (School of) Communication, (School of) Languages, Social Sciences and Humanities. The Faculty has two South African Research Chairs, namely the Chair in Social Change and the Chair in African Diplomacy and Foreign Policy. There are also three centres, namely the Centre for Social Development in Africa, the Centre for Anthropological Research, and the Centre for the Study of Democracy. The fourth centre, the Centre for Social Change, closed down in 2013. A merger of two departments, namely Linguistics and Applied Communicative Skills is considered while the separation of two divisions in the Department of Anthropology and Development Studies is also being contemplated.
The governance and quality management structures in the faculty include a host of committees and sub-committees, with the Board of Faculty and Heads of Departments’ Committees as the highest decision making and oversight bodies. Catalytic events in 2013 have caused the faculty to review its structures, and a thorough restructuring process is currently in progress. The objective of this revision is to reconsider the committee structures, redefine their scope, spell out the reporting lines in order to improve accountability and avoid overlaps in the responsibilities of the sub-committees.
Regarding risk management, the number of stolen computers in 2013, especially laptops, is worrying and the faculty has to prepare a strategy to mitigate this risk.
STRATEGIC FOCUS AND TARGETS
The faculty has been in a transitional phase since July 2013 and only with the final appointment of an Executive Dean will it be able to purposefully move forward on its goals. In the meantime the Faculty Peer Review, which took place in August 2013, provided some valuable guidelines regarding the redirection of the Faculty based on identified strengths, such as the strong postgraduate programmes, research output and the stature of the research centres. Task teams have been appointed and their reports are currently serving at the relevant faculty structures.
Major accomplishments are the inclusion of the Faculty at number 331 on the 2013 QS World Universities Ranking list, and English, Politics and International Studies in the top 200 in the world on the QS subject list for 2014. These achievements are will encourage other disciplines in the Faculty to also improve their positions.
As for “enhancing the global excellence and stature of UJ,” the faculty plans to enhance its international collaboration and research profile to a new level through the newly established Institute for African Thought and Conversation and the Institute for Advanced Studies as well as the research Chairs, research centres and academic departments and individual researchers. It is hoped that the creation of a series of inter- and multidisciplinary honours and coursework MA programmes will also attract international students interested in postgraduate programmes with a strong African focus.
There is a high number of individual researcher-to-researcher relationships, between academic staff in our faculty, and academics in Africa and in the global arena, including Europe, the USA, the Nordic countries, Australia and the BRICS countries, namely Brazil, Russia, India and China. Broader faculty-based initiatives and agreements exist with Hyderabad in India, Hong Kong University, Bordeaux 3 in France, Augsburg in Germany and Renmin in China. In 2013 new agreements and partnerships included “Micro-Tracks”: Tracing Ancient Cognition and Knowledge Systems through microscopy. This project, coordinated by Prof Marlize Lombard, has created new links with universities in Canada and the Netherlands.

EMPLOYEE PROFILE The Faculty has an equity appointment rate of 73% for academic appointments and for administrative appointments 75%. The combined equity percentage for appointments in 2013 is 74%.

The race profile of the faculty, overall, is currently at 41% designated, 59% white, and 5% foreign national employees. Table 4: Equity (2009-2013)

The attraction and retention of senior equity academic staff remains an ongoing risk. The pool is relative small, and the private and public sectors are able to offer attractive packages. A further risk is poaching by academic institutions that have seemingly relaxed their appointment criteria. UNISA is one such institution.

Postgraduate enrolments increased across the board during 2013. Student success and experience
Success rate The 2013 success rate in both the undergraduate and postgraduate programmes is most pleasing. The undergraduate success rate can be ascribed to the various initiatives and interventions made by the Vice-Dean Academic, the various teaching-related committees, and outstanding efforts of our cohort of dedicated lecturers and tutors. The success rates in the Faculty have improved significantly over the five year period 2009-2013. In the case of undergraduate degrees the improvement was almost 6% and for diplomas more than 17%.

The tutorial system contributes significantly to the improved success rate in the Faculty. Expenditure on tutors in the Faculty has increased from R683 468 in 2009 to R6 313 885 in 2013. The tutors are trained annually in January by ADS in three different groups: new and returning tutors, and senior tutors. This training is generally well attended. Refresher sessions are scheduled throughout the year, and departments also have specialised training programmes.

Teaching Excellence In 2013 Prof Thea de Wet from the Department of Anthropology and Development studies became the fourth recipient from the Faculty of Humanities of the Vice-Chancellor’s Award for Teaching Excellence since the inception of the award in 2009. Previous award recipients were Dr Carina van Rooyen, Department of Anthropology and Development Studies, Prof Hennie Lötter, Department of Philosophy and Prof Nathalie Hyde-Clark, Department of Communication Studies. Relevancy and impact of subsidised academic programmes The Humanities Deanery, together with the relevant faculty committees, have oversight of the quality and relevance of the academic programmes.
In 2013 an external review of the professional Psychology programmes was undertaken by the Health Professions Council. The Social Work programmes were reviewed by both ASASWEI and SACSSP. In both departments disputes have arisen regarding aspects of the reviews; which are currently being addressed.
The review of the Humanities PQM was completed in 2013. The review addressed the alignment of Humanities programmes to the new HEQF, as well as the timetable footprint of these programmes, and resulted in extensive amendments. The new PQM, which is currently being phased in, has also resulted in a reduction of student numbers in individual modules, and a more favourable staff-student ratio in some of the larger modules.
The review of 104 postgraduate programmes will start in the second semester of 2014 and be completed early in 2015. The Faculty will use this opportunity to open up the BA Honours offerings for inter- and multi-disciplinary collaboration between departments in the Faculty and to create at least one multi-disciplinary and one joint coursework MA programme.
Recommendations made by the Faculty Peer Review panel, which impact on the content and delivering of syllabi, along with other recommendations, are currently under discussion in the Faculty, and some issues have already been resolved.

RESEARCH FOOTPRINT AND IMPACT Research 2013 Table 10: Research Outputs over the last 5 years
SA accredited Internationally accredited Total
2013 59.7 90.27 149.97
2012 71.88 106.65 178.53

2010 76.17 62.87 136.04
2009 67.5 47.28 114.79
These are provisional figures. The 2013 research output in terms of accredited articles (149.97 units) is somewhat lower than 2012 (178.53 units). However, the ratio of articles published in international journals compared to those published in South African journals, is rising steadily. Table 11: Total output submissions to DHET
Articles Books Chapters Proceedings Total Units
2013 149.97 10.03 11.36 3.5 174.86
2012 178.53 4.92 15.97 1.35 200.28

2009 114.79 6.5 17.83 0.5 142.8
A larger percentage of the total output for 2013 comprises of accredited articles, rather than books, chapters in books and conference proceedings. While the latter categories of output are important in the Humanities, and will remain so, these outputs are not as clear-cut due to DHET’s lack of disclosure of successful claims in these categories.
Post-doctoral Research Fellows The Postdoctoral Research Fellowship programme is critical for a steady increase in research output, and for contributing to the intellectual profile and research activities in the faculty. In 2013 the faculty had thirty two PDRFs. The postdoctoral fellows were hosted by the following departments, research centres and SARChi Chairs: Anthropology and Development Studies, Chair: African Diplomacy and Foreign Policy, Chair: Social Change, CfAR, CSDA, English, Historical Studies, Greek and Latin Studies, Linguistics, Philosophy, Politics, Religion Studies and Sociology. The total amount generated by the subsidised research outputs published by the PDRFs is paid into a PDRF fund. This enables the faculty to monitor the income and expenditure patterns of the PDRF programme is order to manage it properly. The aim is to make the PDRF programme self-sustaining.

Research Centres
Centre for Sociological Research
Prof Ashwin Desai assumed the Directorship of CSR in July 2012. The CSR engages in a wide range of research areas, including a project on Alternatives in Development (SANPAD) on the township of Chatsworth in Durban, civil society discussions and mobilizations around BRICS, racial inequalities in familial and economic institutions and the consequences for adolescents in post-apartheid South Africa, the sociology of law and sport as well as a collaborative project with the Department of Sociology on ‘Contested Youth Identities in Higher Education: A Comparison between Universities in India and South Africa’. At the end of 2013 the CSR was closed and absorbed into the Sociology Department.
The Centre for Social Development in Africa
The CSDA, under Directorship of Prof Leila Patel, is consolidating its research footprint locally and internationally as a cutting-edge research centre in the field of social development. As it celebrates its ten year anniversary in 2014, the Centre’s diverse research foci will contribute to knowledge, strategic thinking, debate, dialogue and critical policy perspectives in government, civil society and in corporate social investment. The CSDA accredited research output has grown significantly over last three years. 2013 was a particularly successful year, with a total of 35 publications, which included fourteen journal articles and three books. In the last three years, the Centre’s publication output came to 48 journal articles (35.53 units) with an average of 11.84 units per year. We aim to grow our accredited publication output to 14 units annually. The CSDA student contingent had an excellent record of academic
11
scholarship for 2013. Among others, three Doctoral students and one Master’s student graduated, and fifteen Political Science Honours students completed a research module presented by the Centre in collaboration with UJ’s Department of Politics. Increasingly, our Centre is a reference point in the Global South and North for international staff and student exchange and as a collaborating partner in socially relevant research. The CSDA has collaborated with 45 local and 51 international partners over the last ten years. Prof Patel was the 2013 Helen Harris Perlman Visiting Professor of International Social Welfare at University of Chicago. Moreover, scholars from seven countries are engaged in research and publishing partnerships with the Centre. So far the centre has hosted ten postgraduate Utrecht University students who conducted field research in Doornkop, Soweto. In addition, we are a founding member of Southern African Social Protection Experts Network (SASPEN), which is a loose alliance of stakeholders who engage in social protection in the SADC region. Our research is of national and international significance. One of our flagship projects is the Youth Assets and Employability Study, which is funded by the Ford Foundation. The project will implement and rigorously test the concept of ‘asset-building’ to address youth unemployment. In 2014, the CSDA intends to build on these strengths and to continue to grow the Centre as a leading social development research site in Africa
Centre for Anthropological Research (CfAR)
Thea de Wet, Professor of Anthropology and Development Studies, has been Director of CfAR since 2011. The CfAR consolidated its programme of research into three areas: Evidence-Informed Policy, Urban Issues, and Human Biological and Cultural Origins. CfAR’s Evidence-Informed Policy team, led by Prof Ruth Stewart, has been particularly successful in securing international grants for conducting systematic reviews on a number of development issues, such as Micro Finance, Urban Agriculture and Smallholder Farming in Africa). Recently UJ signed a three year contract, worth in excess of R20 million, with the UK Department for International Development (DfID) for ‘Building Capacity in Using Research Evidence (BCURE)’ in the South African and Malawian governments. CfAR also continues its research and activities around urban poverty, migration, food security, livelihoods, and media. Prof Liz Gunner, a B-rated NRF scientist’s, research focuses on performance and social meaning. She is completing a monograph titled Sounding the Present: Radio in Difficult Times. Drimolen, in the Cradle of Humankind, is the third richest hominin-bearing site in southern Africa—research there continues to shed light on our distant ancestors. Dr Colin Menter has received more
12
than R2 million from the NRF since 2011 for Drimolen research and training activities. He has international palaeoanthropology collaborators in a number of institutions which include Italy, UK, USA, France, Australia and Germany. Archaeologists linked to CfAR investigate and publish in local and international journals on the evolution of Stone Age human cognition and knowledge systems. Prof de Wet received funding from the NRF and UJ to lead a project on Changing climate, heat and local knowledge from 2014 to 2016. This multi-disciplinary multi-institutional project (UJ, the CSIR and the MRC) will combine science and local knowledge to develop and find innovative and integrative health improvement solutions for three communities near Rustenburg who will have to adapt to an increase in temperature of their natural environment due to weather and climate changes. Postgraduate student bursaries account for half of the funds received.
Sanlam Centre for Public Management and Governance
The Centre, managed by Prof Christelle Auriacombe, caters for professional public sector capacity building by way of extra-curricular programmes, cooperative training and research initiatives with local government, industry and societal organisations, workshops and consulting. The Centre provides valuable training in various areas of Public Management and Governance to a number of public sector employees. The Centre has a strong research arm.
Centre for the Study of Democracy
The struggle for democracy in South Africa inspired democrats around the world. While it is almost twenty years since a democratic system was achieved here, there was, until the centre’s establishment, not a single academic institute dedicated to the study of democracy in South Africa. The Centre for the Study of Democracy, a joint initiative of the University of Johannesburg and Rhodes University, fills this gap, under the Director, Prof Steven Friedman. The Centre is dedicated to an attempt to understand democracy and the specific forms it takes within South Africa and on the African continent. To this end, it has developed a substantial research programme. The
13
key component is a programme of research into relations between citizens and the state. Specific areas of focus are:
An attempt to understand opportunities for and obstacles to citizen participation in democratic governance.
The role of civil society organisations as vehicles for a citizen voice. Ways in which citizens who do not participate in civil society organisations make their voice
heard in South Africa and other African democracies; and The role of provincial and local government in the exercising of citizen voice.
South African Research Chair in Social Change
This government-funded research chair is held by Prof Peter Alexander. In addition to his salary, the government, through the National Research Foundation, also supports three post-doctoral fellowships and bursaries for three doctoral, three MA and three honours students, part of the salary of a senior researcher, and some research costs. Additional funds have been raised from the Rosa Luxembourg Foundation, the Raith Foundation, Atlantic Philanthropies and the mining industry. The Chair focuses on social change, specifically in South Africa, but has undertaken international comparative research. In 2013, members of the unit associated with the Chair, published Class in Soweto (authored by Peter Alexander, Claire Ceruti, Keke Motseke, Mosa Phadi and Kim Wale). New editions of Marikana: A View from the Mountain and a Case to Answer (Peter Alexander, Thapelo Lekgowa, Botsang Mmope, Luke Sinwell and Bongani Xezwi) were published in the UK, USA, Germany and France. Peter Alexander is currently working on Mining: past and present (co-edited with Stefan Berger and published by Ashgate), and, together with two other members of the unit, Carin Runciman and Trevor Ngwane, he is preparing a manuscript for South Africa's Rebellion of the Poor . The Chair has made a considerable media impact, particularly for its work on Marikana and on community protests. Peter Alexander is a trustee of the Marikana Dignity Trust and a member of the board of Community Agency for Social Enquiry (CASE).

South African Research Chair in African Diplomacy and Foreign Policy
The SARChi Chair in African Diplomacy and Foreign Policy is the incubator of a research programme that places two concurrent challenges at the centre of its work. These are: the national challenge of honing and refining South Africa’s national interests within its ‘African Agenda’; and, the continental challenge of researching Africa’s interstate and international relations with a view to enhancing African agency on the world stage. Research conducted at the Chair focuses on four broad areas: Africa’s evolving peace and security architecture; the operationalization of the New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD) and the African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM); the role of Africa’s Regional Economic Communities (RECs); and, finally, Africa’s strategic partnerships in the Global North and the Global South. The Chair’s vision of being “a Pan-African research and post-graduate development centre of international repute engaging in African challenges through rigorous research in diplomacy and foreign policy” is being gradually borne out through the work of the Chair, Prof Chris Landsberg, and his team at the Centre. Along with research, outreach and the cultivation of graduate students, are key objectives of the Chair. Prof Landsberg, and Senior Researcher, Dr Candice Moore, supervise master’s and doctoral studies in areas broadly within the scope of African foreign policy, including areas as diverse as the interrogation of the concept of ‘hegemony’ in the Southern African region, to the analysis of the European Union’s relations with the countries of North Africa. In addition to graduate students, the Chair hosts a number of post-doctoral fellows whose work contributes to the vision of the Chair, focusing on areas which include the dynamics of conflict in Kenya, the political economy of southern Africa, and the technological aspects of African diplomacy. Faculty seminars and events The faculty launched its public seminar series in 2007. The intention of these lectures/seminars is to create a premier forum for academic discussion and debate. In 2013 the faculty held five Humanities Public Lectures, and speakers included Profs Frank Summers, Penny Plowman and Hansie Wolmarans. The Department of Sociology with the Department of Anthropology and Development Studies host a seminar series, which in 2013 included twenty six prominent South African and international speakers. The faculty also hosts the annual Helen Joseph memorial lecture. The focus of the lecture is to honour Helen Joseph as an iconic figure, unceasingly committed to the service of others. The keynote address at the 2013 lecture was entitled: ‘Do social grants create more problems than they solve’, and was delivered by Prof Leila Patel, Director of the Centre for Social Development in Africa. The Afrikaans department hosted the annual NP van Wyk Louw Memorial Lecture, presented by Prof Heilna du Plooy, with the title "Die Beeld is duursamer as die begrip".
15
A number of academic departments, including Philosophy, Greek and Latin, Historical Studies, and English, among others, hosted scholarly seminars. In 2013 more than twenty such seminars took place.
Humanities prize giving The Faculty of Humanities honours its top achievers annually at the Humanities prize-giving ceremony. All those who graduated cum laude within the BA, BA Honours and master’s programmes, and all doctoral graduates, receive a faculty prize and certificate. The event is held in recognition of the outstanding achievements of the faculty’s students. At the 2013 event there were ninety nine recipients, which included twenty doctoral graduates.
Top achievers club As part of the UJ Top Achievers initiative, the faculty launched a Top Achievers Club in 2011. The club includes undergraduate students, excluding final year students, who have obtained an overall average of 75% with no subject passed with a mark below 70%. In 2013 thirty nine students qualified as members of UJ’s Top Achievers Club.
Dean’s list The Dean's List, hosted at the end of the second semester, identifies those students at second and third year and Honours level who are potential postgraduate students. Information on further study programmes and bursaries is provided to these students. Identified lecturers from the faculty give a motivational speech to these students at a special function. In 2013 the Dean’s List comprised a total of fifty six 2nd year, one hundred and sixty four 3rd year and seventy eight honours students.
Creative writing prizes The UJ Prize for Creative Writing in Afrikaans for 2012 was awarded to Ingrid Winterbach for her novel Die aanspraak van lewende wesens, and the UJ Debut Prize went to André Kruger for Die twee lewens van Dieter Ondracek. The UJ South African Writing in English award-winners for 2013 were Steven Boykey Sidley, for Entanglement (Debut Prize) while the main prize was awarded to Ken Bariss, for Life Under Water. INTERNATIONALISATION The Faculty has a strong international presence in terms of staff representation. The faculty had ten international staff members comprising 5% of its employee profile in 2013. International student numbers are however still a concern and the faculty will engage with The Internationalisation office to attract more international students in 2014 and 2015. Table 13: International students
2009 2010 2011 2012 2013
International 218 247 260 273 267
Various staff members are engaged internationally. Activities include an international symposium on “Youth assets” and a “Youth unemployment roundtable discussion” hosted by the CSDA and a workshop on “Phenomenology and its Futures,” hosted by the department of Philosophy. The Department of Strategic Communication is involved in the planning of the 2015 International Public Relations Association (IPRA) Conference. The Faculty does not yet offer joint degrees with international institutions. However, the Department of Strategic Communication is in the process of developing an interdisciplinary professional doctoral programme in Change Management with Prof Steve Cady of Bowling Green University, Ohio.

Colleagues form most departments visit international institutions, either to present papers or on research visits to establish research and collaborative links. Our academic departments, research chairs and research centres often host foreign visitors as guest lecturers or invite them as guest speakers, to mentor younger staff members and postgraduate students or to give public lectures. Prof F Summers, of the Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University, Chicago, for instance gave a very successful public lecture on Psychoanalytic Theory and Therapy. The faculty is actively building international relationships, which will hopefully lead to more formal agreements. In 2013 Prof Alex Broadbent of the Department of Philosophy visited the University of Birmingham, a Universitas 21 institution, to establish such a relationship. The Department of Strategic Communication has an established relationship with both Bowling Green University, Ohio, USA and the University of New York, New York, USA. The SARChi Chairs and research centres have particularly strong links with international institutions. The CSDA currently has more than fifty collaborative projects with international institutions. COMMUNITY SERVICE, STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT AND REPUTATION MANAGEMENT Community engagement is an integral part of most departments within Humanities, with staff involved in 16 community engagement projects. These projects fall within the three pillars of community engagement at UJ, namely: service learning, community-based research and organised outreach. Projects included youth development programmes; pro bono family therapy; social work first-year internship programmes; and involvement with organisations such as Worldvision. There are two flagship CE projects in the Faculty:
The Sophiatown project involves both social research and a grassroots initiative aimed at fostering reconciliation between residents of different races in Sophiatown and, by extension, the country. The project was launched in February 2009, the date chosen to coincide with the commemoration of 54 years since the start of forced removals in Sophiatown. The project is managed by Professor Natasha Erlank. The Sophiatown Project has the potential to transform the relationship between research and community engagement: the project involves the co-creation of knowledge and research agendas, provides agency and identity for complex communities, and is an experiment in news ways of creating knowledge. The research on the Sophiatown project came to an end in 2013, and resulted in a book Experiencing Sophiatown: Conversations among Residents about the Past, Present, and Future of a Community.
The Faculty took on the administration of Phumani Papers in 2012. Phumani is a Johannesburg-based NGO that focuses on the empowerment of women through entrepreneurship in rural areas. Phumani manufactures a variety of paper products, often on the cutting edge of handmade paper technologies, and is the only producer of archival paper in SA. Unfortunately the project was cancelled in 2013 due to financial constraints. There are, however, plans to reinstate the project under a different board and new management.
2013 also saw the beginning of exiting CE projects, these include: Babies Behind Bars, a service learning project where 3rd year Corporate and Marketing Communication students developed a media strategy for the NPO. This is a non-profit organisation (NPO) focused on the well-being of babies born and raised in prison in South Africa and Namibia. Another exiting project is a community based research project in the Department of Social Work investigating gender based violence in Schools.

Faculty of Humanizes: Annual report 2013
1. OPERATING CONTEXT, GOVERNANCE AND RISK MANAGEMENT
The Faculty of Humanities has eighteen departments, comprising four discipline clusters, (School of) Communication, (School of) Languages, Social Sciences and Humanities. The faculty hosts two South African Research Chairs, namely the Chair in Social Change and the Chair in African Diplomacy and Foreign Policy. The Faculty also has three research centres, namely the Centre for Social Development in Africa, the Centre for Anthropological Research, and the Centre for the Study of Democracy. (The fourth centre, the Centre for Social Change, closed down in 2013.) A merger of two departments (Linguistics and Applied Communicative Skills) and the separation of two divisions in another department, namely in Anthropology and Development Studies will be considered in 2014 and 2015.
The governance and quality management structures include a host of committees and sub-committees, with the Board of Faculty and Heads of Departments’ Committees as the highest decision making and oversight bodies. Catalytic events in 2013 triggered a review of the faculty’s committee structures and a thorough restructuring process is currently in progress. The objective of this revision is to simplify the committee structures, redefine the scope, establish clearer reporting lines, and as a result, improve the accountability of the governing bodies and eliminate overlaps in the functions of different sub-committees.
Regarding risk management, the number of stolen computers in 2013, especially laptops, is worrying and the Faculty has to prepare strategy to mitigate this risk.

2. STRATEGIC FOCUS AND TARGETS
The Faculty has been in a transitional phase since July 2013 and only with the final appointment of an Executive Dean will it be able to purposefully move forward on its goals. In the meantime the Faculty Peer Review, which took place in August 2013, provided some valuable guidelines regarding the redirection of the Faculty based on identified strengths, such as the strong postgraduate programmes, research output and the stature of the research centres. Task teams have been appointed and their reports are currently serving at the relevant faculty structures.
Major accomplishments are the inclusion of the Faculty at number 331 on the 2013 QS World Universities Ranking list, and English, Politics and International Studies in the top 200 in the world on the QS subject list for 2014. These achievements are will encourage other disciplines in the Faculty to also improve their positions.
As for “enhancing the global excellence and stature of UJ,” the Faculty plans to leverage the new Institute for African Thought and Conversation as well as the established research networks, of the existing centres and Chairs, and of individual researchers in departments to raise its international profile to a new level. It is hoped that the creation of a series of inter- and multidisciplinary honours and coursework MA programmes will also attract international students interested in postgraduate programmes with a strong African focus.
There is a high number of individual researcher-to-researcher relationships, between academic staff in our faculty, and academics in Africa and the global arena, including the USA, Europe, the Scandinavian countries, Australia, India, China and Brazil. Broader faculty-based initiatives and agreements exist with Hyderabad (India), Hong Kong University, Bordeaux 3 in France, Augsberg in Germany and Renmin in China. In 2013 new agreements and partnerships included “Micro-Tracks”: Tracing Ancient Cognition and Knowledge Systems through microscopy. This project, coordinated by Prof Marlize Lombard, has established new links to universities in Canada and the Netherlands.

The attraction and retention of senior equity academic staff remains an ongoing risk. The pool is relative small, and the private and public sectors are able to offer attractive packages. A further risk is poaching by academic institutions that have seemingly more relaxed appointment criteria. UNISA is one such institution.

4. STUDENT PROFILE, STUDENT SUCCESS AND EXPERIENCE, RELEVANCY AND IMPACT OF ACADEMIC PROGRAMMES
Special Achievements
As mentioned above major accomplishments for 2013 in the area of teaching and learning are the inclusion of the Faculty at number 331 on the 2013 QS World Universities Ranking list, and English, Politics and International Studies in the top 200 in the world on the QS subject list for 2014. These achievements are will encourage other disciplines in the Faculty to also improve their positions. With regard to the subject rankings the following should be noted: The University of Johannesburg was one of 689 institutions ranked in subject areas after QS evaluated a total of 2,838 universities. Overall scores were arrived at by combining the scores for each subject across four dimensions, namely academic reputation, employer reputation, citations and the H-index. The following table shows the scores achieved by the top Humanities and Social Sciences subjects.
In other areas, it is assumed that the Faculty subjects do not yet meet the above requirements, but this should be investigated. Social Science and Management
Communication
Sociology
Arts and Humanities
Linguistics
Languages (other than English)
Philosophy
Life Sciences and Medicine
Psychology

Graph QS weighted scores per subject Sorted by highest overall score
The heavy weighting of academic reputation has made a significant contribution to the final score for English and Historical Studies, while the combination of weighting for academic and employer reputation for Politics and International Studies have made up a large portion of the final score.

Student success and experience
Success rates The 2013 success rates in the undergraduate and diploma programmes are gratifying. These success rates can be ascribed to the various initiatives and interventions initiated by the Vice-Dean Academic, the various teaching-oriented committees, and outstanding efforts by the cohort of dedicated lecturers and tutors. The undergraduate success rates in the Faculty have improved significantly over the five year period 2009-2013. In the case of undergraduate degrees the improvement amounts to almost 6% and in the diplomas more than 17%. Table 9: Success rates

The tutorial system contributes significantly to the improved success rate of the Faculty. Expenditure on tutors in the Faculty has increased from R683 468 in 2009 to R6 313 885 in 2013. The tutors receive annual training offered by ADS. The training is differentiated in three categories: new tutors, returning tutors and senior tutors. The training is generally well attended. Refresher sessions are scheduled throughout the year and some departments offer focused training programmes for their tutors.

Teaching Excellence
In 2013 Prof Thea de Wet of the Department of Anthropology and Development studies was the fourth academic from the Faculty of Humanities who received the Vice-Chancellor’s Award for Teaching Excellence since its inception in 2009. Previous award recipients were Dr Carina van Rooyen, also from the Department of Anthropology and Development Studies, Prof Hennie Lötter, from the Department of Philosophy and Prof Nathalie Hyde-Clark, from the Department of Communication Studies. Thea’s approach to teaching and learning is creative and innovative. During lectures she uses small experiments and demonstrations in interesting and fun ways to illustrate difficult concepts, for example, plotting the earth's 4.5 billion year history on 230 sheets of toilet paper to illustrate the vastness of geological time and the blip that humans occupy in that history. Debates in tutorials allow students to voice opinions and discuss unsettling topics such as evolution, science versus religion, and what is ‘natural’ in human behaviour. For Thea her teaching is about developing students into responsible anti-racist and anti-sexist citizens, who understand the commonalities of
29
humans. She explains: “UJ’s location near the Cradle of Humankind offers an incredible opportunity to teach and concentrate on common human origins in Africa. I use my knowledge of palaeoanthropology and human genetics to teach and address myths about ‘racial’ biological differences.” As a full professor, Thea has a specific commitment to teaching first year students. She says: “I recognize that students from many different backgrounds arrive at UJ with a diversity of skills or lack thereof, that their preparedness for learning varies significantly and that we have to take that into account if we want students to succeed. The first semester for a first year student is a particular challenge. Academic and social support for new students, as well as scaffolding their skills are critical for success.” And this commitment is clearly much appreciated by students: her open door, but also her open heart and in many cases open purse have become legendary – to the extent that, two years ago her students nominated Professor de Wet for the Checkers Woman of the Year Award. Thea’s dedication to students is matched by a comparable commitment to mentoring of young and less experienced colleagues, and post-graduate students. Working with other colleagues (as she always does), Thea, for example, started a support-and-pressure group for the MA and PhD students she and colleagues supervise. The appreciative acknowledgements in dissertations and theses testify to the crucial role of this initiative for the post-graduate students.
Top Achievers Club
In line with the UJ top achievers initiative, the faculty launched a Top Achievers club in 2011. This Club consists of undergraduate students who obtained an overall average of 75% in their modules in the previous year, with no modules passed with marks below 70%. In 2013 38 Humanities students were members of the Top Achievers Club.
Dean’s List
The announcement of the Dean's List, hosted at the end of the second semester each year, celebrates students at 2nd, 3rd year and Honours' study level who are potential postgraduate students. Information with regards to further study opportunities, programme information as well as
30
available bursaries is provided, and inspiring lecturers invited to address these achievers. The 2013 Dean’s list identified students from all qualifications: 56 2nd years, 164 3rd years and 78 honours students, in total.
Risk Management The Faculty approached PsyCaD with a view to implementing a programme to support a group of approximately 200 identified 1st year academically at-risk students. The following weekly 5 session workshop programme was proposed to support the students. Each workshop session was repeated 3 times per week to in an effort to accommodate all the students. All workshop sessions were activity based and included activities completed into a workbook which students could keep and access whenever needed.
Session Workshop Topic
1 Personal Exploration
2 Identifying and utilising personal strengths
3 Finding Balanceand setting academic goals
4 Studying effectively and staying motivated
5 Coping with exam anxiety and stress
The programme was further enhanced with the inclusion of a psychometric evaluation instrument designed to identify 10 broad themes related to academic under performance. The initial session began with an introduction by a few 1st year lecturers, ADC and PsyCaD psychologists informing students of the support services available. This was followed by a small group discussion to explore what the students felt was limiting their ability to achieve academic success. The session ended with each student completing a self-report questionnaire designed to identify the broad themes related to academic under performance. The students were also tasked with a homework assignment aimed at creating self-awareness and improving self-knowledge. During the 2nd session students were provided with feedback results from their responses to the questionnaire with discussion and guidelines provided on managing their perceived areas of difficulty. In addition to this a positive and developmental approach was adopted to empower students to identify their personal strengths and use them proactively to achieve success. The 3rd session focussed on assisting students to learn how to balance and prioritise the various personal life responsibilities and commitments together with the expected academic demands and set realistic academic goals Session 4 concentrated on developing effective study strategies and maintaining motivation. The final session focussed on learning practical strategies and coping mechanisms for dealing with exam anxiety and stress. The session ended with a re-administration of the initial psychometric questionnaire to ascertain how the students perceived their initial difficulties following the workshop intervention programme. A final workshop evaluation form was also completed by each student. OUTCOMES

FEEDBACK FROM EVALUATION FORMS:
Students’ indicated a positive overall impression of the programme. The responses indicated that they found the information to be relevant and that they had learnt something from the workshops that could be applied in their lives. They gained helpful tips on how they could improve on their academic performance. The students expressed a need for these workshops. There were concerns around the duration of the lengthy 5 week programme. Descriptive detail of students’ responses: The students generally felt that the topics covered met their needs as students and beyond (i.e. “and could possibly be useful after my studies at UJ”). The students mentioned they have noticed an improvement in some areas they found difficulty in; since they have been able to apply some of the strategies discussed and have noticed a positive change. For example, we posed the question to the students “What improvement, if any, has there being in your academic progress since the beginning of the workshops?” A few of the students indicated that their time management and ability to prioritise what is important was slightly better managed and effective. Students indicated that stress management was a useful topic. Coping with the demands of their modules was mentioned as the least improved area. This could be due to the “late start” in the Safenet project, where students were not able to apply all the skills timeously to make an impact on their academic progress. The Safenet project was designed in a very practical manner however, students feel that they “needed more practical tips on how to overcome their academic challenges”, but with the “same topics” as they mentioned that the “topics were all relevant”. The students were given hand-outs over and above the practical discussions, particularly focusing on practical means in overcoming their academic challenges but a follow through in their ability to apply these skills was not possible due to time constraints and was also requested by some of the students for semester 2. Furthermore, many students have mentioned that they have taken a few of the techniques explored and they have felt and noticed a change in how they are coping with the workload. An additional suggestion was made that the workshops could possibly be longer, such as “having 2 hour sessions once a week” or “hourly sessions twice a week”. Some students indicated that the psychologists understood what they were going through and felt their needs were met because of this. Some of the students indicated in the additional comments that they are very “grateful for the support” they received (i.e. “thank you for such an initiative, I have qualified for all my modules as a result”, “the workshop was a highlight towards my studies”) and wish for the workshops to still be on offer for them. An additional need arose from the group to include and provide students with practical tips on how to cope with general daily life challenges and problems, which is not linked to academics. These can include “travelling concerns”, “coping with the demands and chores at home” or “family responsibilities” and “expectations from my family”, “finances”, “cope with health issues”, “how to adjust to university”, “peer pressure”, “relationships”, “improving self-esteem, self-motivation and self-discipline”, making “sound decisions” and “being prepared and ready for this challenge”. These aspects were briefly touched upon in the sessions and students were referred to PsyCaD to attend therapy sessions or at least consult with a psychologist during the Walk-in/Advisory service to gain assistance in this regard. Some students indicated that they would like to have on-on-one sessions and a few students had followed through on this intent.
33
Some students have indicated that they would like ADC support, especially in terms of how to “solve … if you have a problem by reading and understanding”, “being slow in writing exams”, “help in structuring assignments”, “how to communicate with your lecturers and tutors”, “have more practical application” [linking with the modules the students are studying] and “focus on the individual modules and ways of improving performance in each of them”.
WIL and Service Learning WIL and SL activities in the Department of Strategic Communication: Public Relations: Work integrated learning is a formal credit bearing component of the Diploma in Public Relations and Communication Management offered during the third/final year. It is a year module which students register for during registration at the beginning of the year. Students have one (1) contact period per week – Wednesdays 12:00-13:00 with lecturer and WIL Coordinator. Formal assessments take place on a continuous basis, but the summative assessment consists of a portfolio of evidence (POE) which is submitted at the end of October. Students who do not meet this deadline or for whatever reason fail the POE are given another opportunity to submit during January (special exam cycle). In line with best practice proposed by the World Association of Cooperative Education (WACE) and the Southern Africa Society for Cooperative Education (SASCE) students are prepared for the module during workshops as well as during the weekly contact sessions. Students also consult with the WIL Coordinator via electronic mail or telephone. During workshops students are trained to develop a proper CV (with the assistance of Psycad), how to identify prospective companies and interview skills. Role play during lectures and consultation assist them in dealing with the uncertainty of finding a placement. The placement is for a minimum of 600 hours on the old programme and 320 hours on the new programme (applicable in 2016 for the 2014 cohort). The reduction in the number of hours for the new programme is due to the fact that the rest of the hours are spread over the three years of learning, so that students start developing their POE from the first year of enrolment. Post registration (restricted to students who are doing third year majors) students are provided with a study guide, WIL employer guidelines and letters of introduction. Electronic and hard copy CVs are also submitted to the WIL Coordinator for distribution to organisations that request student interns. Depending on these requirements CVs are distributed to the prospective employers, they short list, arrange interviews with candidates and confirm appointments with department. The WIL Coordinator sometimes assists with interviews and recommendations. Copies of the employment contract/appointment letter or work schedule are also submitted to the department. Students also sign an Indemnity form for the POPI Act roll out at UJ. Students have the responsibility to ensure that they receive guided experience in all seven categories required for the POE as discussed in the study guide and during lectures. Mentors and WIL employers are contacted regularly and in the case of students employed by various UJ departments regular workshops are held to assist internal processes. Employers and mentors are required to sign the POE in approval of the content and the students’ progress.
34
To date the WIL Coordinator has also conducted site visits for as many students as possible ensuring that the various placement sites are adequately equipped and supportive of this industry –HEI education and training partnership. This is also in line with best practice guidelines. It also assists the department in building relationships with industry members. Since the establishment of the UJ WIL Forum policies and reporting structures have been established requiring regular reporting of placement statistics to UJ Senate Teaching and Learning Committee. The UJ WIL policy, in line with HEQC policy require of the department to assist students in finding placement. Given the large number of students (167 registered for 2014) new and creative ways are implemented to ensure that students find placement. In line with this approach third years are involved in a number of projects as well as challenged to find community projects/NPO/NGOs in close proximity to be involved with. We also negotiate group or multiple placements at various centres/government, etc. Examples of these include ABZ and CSESE at UJ. Deadlines are set for students by when they need to be placed and individual reports/consultation sessions arranged for these students with the WIL Coordinator. Another challenge is allocating an adequate number of contact periods to manage this module. The one period contact session does not accommodate processes such as facilitating industry contacts, negotiating placement opportunities, and supervision of students involved in industry projects. This learning approach supports the UJ aim of “Learning to be” as well as provide students with crucial experience needed to cope in a competitive industry. Most of our graduates secure a permanent position because of the knowledge, skills and experience they obtain during their WIL placement. Longstanding objectives have been to negotiate group placement within UJ as well as other public institutions. Services SETA funding will also assist in funding employer organisations that place student interns. Mentorship recognition and CPD credits have been negotiated with the professional body PRISA to acknowledge input of employer mentors and the important role they play in this partnership. Formal UJ recognition is also in the pipeline from the WIL/Service learning forum. Service learning has not played a formal role to date in the diploma structure but the new programme to be implemented in 2014, namely the Diploma in Public Relations and Communication Management a service learning component will be included as part of the Professional Practice 2 in which students will be allocated community projects as a service learning component.

The Scholarship of Teaching, Learning and Support Departments are very aware of the importance of teaching and learning and are also willing to reflect on teaching, mentoring and support practices with a view to improving student experience in the faculty. On such department is the department of Linguistics. Below is the 2013 report on undergraduate learning support and enrichment:
Introduction The Department of Linguistics essentially follows a two-pronged approach to academic learning support. All students in the Department are supported through a tutoring system (par. 2 below), attendance of which is compulsory; academically strong students are challenged through an enrichment programme (par. 3 below), which is also compulsory. Tutoring system For a number of years, the Department supported underprepared students through its highly structured and integrated tutoring system. From 2011, a decision was taken that all students should be provided with learning support and therefore all students are required to attend all tutorial sessions offered in the Department. The nature of the tutoring system This system is structured in the sense that all students are required to attend compulsory, scheduled tutorials on a weekly basis, working under the supervision of carefully selected and well-trained tutors; the system is integrated in the sense that not only curriculum content is dealt with in tutorial sessions, but curriculum content is used as a vehicle to develop and to hone academic skills, such as summarising, paraphrasing, referencing, defining terms, constructing an argument, etc. Students are provided with tasked-based learning materials in the form of worksheets and tutors attend weekly training sessions with lecturers to provide optimal learning support to students. Our proactive approach entails that tutors are not merely sitting idly waiting for students to consult them if and when they experience problems, but are from the outset actively involved in the support system offered by the Department. However, our tutors are indeed available for one-on-one consultation with students as well, but this option is available in addition to the structured tutoring system. In our experience, students tend to engage in a support programme only if they receive marks for their efforts. Against this background, students are rewarded for their attendance of and participation in tutorial sessions – they submit portfolios of their work at the end of a term/semester. Frequency and structure of sessions Students are required to attend two tutorial sessions per week as follows:
Tutorial 1 (content tutorials): During these tutorials the focus is on the content of the
linguistics curriculum. Students complete a worksheet, under tutor supervision, on the
learning unit/theme/module dealt with during the previous week in the main lecture.
They submit a "content portfolio" containing all content worksheets at the end of the
term or the semester. Tutors are specially trained, on a weekly basis, to facilitate these
tutorial sessions and to mark these portfolios. They are referred to as "content tutors".
Tutorial 2 (academic skills tutorials): During these tutorials the linguistics content is
used as a vehicle to develop and hone particular academic skills. This integrated
approach serves to move away from the development of generic academic skills, but
rather to develop the skills required to be become a linguist. The content is carefully
selected to fit the particular academic skill that is being developed. Students also
complete a weekly worksheet and submit an "academic skills portfolio" at the end of
36
the term or semester. "Academic skills tutors" are also specially trained, weekly to
supervise students during these sessions and to mark portfolios.
Academic skills that are developed during these sessions include:
How to read a textbook (the prescribed Linguistics 1 textbook is used for this purpose)
How to use an index (the prescribed textbook's index is used)
How to use a glossary (the prescribed textbook's glossary is used)
How to skim and scan a text (the relevant/current chapter that is dealt with in the main lecture is used)
Reading with understanding (the relevant/current chapter that is dealt with in the main lecture is used)
How to quote and compile a list of sources (the textbook is used)
Spelling and punctuation (a section of the textbook is used)
How to define terms in linguistics (core concepts in linguistics are focused on)
Vocabulary development (the focus is on the development of academic vocabulary and linguistic terms)
Effectively using the UJ library (the worksheet forces students to find linguistics sources in the library – books and electronic materials)
How to answer essay-type questions (focusing on linguistic topics and essays)
Writing an academic essay (on a linguistic topic)
Editing your academic essay However, in 2011, the Department acknowledged that some students may already have mastered these skills in school and may require higher levels of challenge. For this purpose, the Department decided to test students at the beginning of the academic year and to stream students on the basis of their test results. Students who lack academic literacy skills are required to attend the academic skills tutorials (tutorial 2 above). Students who demonstrate high levels of academic proficiency are exempted from academic skills tutorials, but are required to register for the enrichment programme, the details of which are outlined below. Please note: all students are required to attend tutorial 1 (content tutorials) per week. Students who are lacking in terms of academic skills attend tutorial 2 (academic skills tutorials). Students who are exempted from the academic skills tutorials, attend one tutorial session per week as part of the enrichment programme (their tutorial 2 is thus an "enrichment tutorial"). [See diagram below. Enrichment programme Although the Department has invested extensively in a tutor and learning support system for weaker students and has decided to deliver content at a slower pace,

37
concerns have been expressed about stronger students who may become alienated and frustrated with this “slower” approach. It has therefore been suggested that an enrichment programme be devised to accommodate and cater for those students who are academically strong and need to be challenged intellectually. The concept “enrichment” Although the Department has taken drastic and far-reaching steps to support weaker students, one cannot lose sight of the fact that not all students in a particular cohort are battling academically. This means that another system must be considered that will stimulate stronger students, who may become extremely frustrated with (1) the slow pace, and (2) the lack of academic challenge (the level at which we deliver the content may be too low and slow, and therefor may not be suited to their needs). Where the current system caters for underprepared students, the concept of “enrichment” may be valuable tool to serve as a basis of a system tailored for stronger students. The rationale for an enrichment programme The rationale for the programme is to:
provide for the needs of both strong and weak students,
motivate students to enhance their performance, and
foster a collaborative learning environment.
Please note: an enrichment programme is NOT designed to promote stereotyping, negative labelling or to demotivate students in any way whatsoever. An enrichment programme: collaborative learning and modelling Numerous approaches to an enrichment programme are possible. The Department must consider many different options during the conceptualisation phase of the design process. One approach is to design the programme around research topics, based on and in line with the content of a particular week. Whereas weaker students are required to do the "ordinary" worksheets in tutorials, stronger students get another task (i.e. to research a topic and to find information on it, present it during the next tutorial to the entire class, so that the entire group can benefit from these stronger students' work). This approach benefits both stronger and weaker students: stronger students are afforded the opportunity to do more challenging work and to showcase their work; weaker students benefit from stronger students' work simply by virtue of being exposed to it. In this way collaborative learning is fostered. This approach may even have the beneficial side effect of motivating weaker students to work harder so that they may also do more challenging work. This kind of modelling may be an excellent learning tool: strong students model particular learning behaviour; weaker students are thereby given an example, which they can replicate once they are ready to do so and have "caught up" academically. In South Africa, universities are confronted with severe disparities in the levels of student ability and competence. Strong students have a responsibility to help weaker ones; but strong students also have the right to be challenged and to enrich their own learning experiences (i.e, not be held back by struggling class mates). Up-scaling or down-grading Once a student is placed in the “needs strong support” (academic skills) group, the student can perform his/her way into the enrichment group. Conversely, those in the enrichment group may be demoted to the support group if their performance is less than satisfactory. Implementation At the beginning of the academic year a test is placed on uLink for all students to complete. It consists of three different sections: a comprehension test, a summary and an essay.
38
The reason for the multifaceted nature of the test is to round out the results to reflect the overall academic abilities of the students. The comprehension test determines whether they are able to extract information from a text and apply it correctly while the summary tests their ability to identify key ideas. The essay tests their ability to cohesively structure an argument as well as their writing skills and ability to write in an academic register. Overall, the top 20 students are selected and informed of their placement into the Enrichment program but not all of them necessarily opt to attend the tutorials; if they prefer not to, they attend the academic skills tutorials together with the main group of Linguistics 1 students. Throughout the year, if an academic skills tutor notices that one of their students is doing consistently well in their tutorials, they would recommend that they move over to the enrichment tutorials. Most tutors use the rule of thumb that if a student attain full marks for three tutorial worksheets in a row, they should be moved over to the enrichment group.
Citizenship Modules The service module Active Citizenship was initially developed by the Department of Politics in collaboration with the Faculty of Law. However, the lecturers from the Department of Law who developed the course were not released to lecture it. Instead three linguists, respectively Prof Mtumane, Dr Baker and Dr Lier with respective subject expertise in Xhosa, German and Hebrew/Aramaic were seconded to teach the ACSEX1A (first semester Extended BA Humanities degree programme) and ACS1A11 (Diploma students) from 2012 onwards. In line with the decision of the Faculty of Humanities, the Department of Applied Communication Skills became the home department for the Active Citizenship service module. Due to high student numbers, a quantifiable measure has been used to assess the success of the Active Citizenship module. This is achieved by monitoring the pass rate and class attendance. The pass rate during 2012 and 2013 has remained consistently high for the ACSEX1A and ACS1A11 modules during the first and second semester respectively (see Column Chart below).
During 2012 and 2013, the rate of attendance was monitored with the assistance of Class registers and to an extent is reflected from Teaching Evaluations conducted in the 2013 first and second semesters. The latter data analyses reflect that about 90% of the students who completed the respective questionnaires attended between 80 and 100% of the lectures. While the pass rate for the module Active Citizenship is accurately reflected from UJ’s official mark sheets, enforcing regular class attendance remains a challenge. Furthermore, with little or no subject expertise, lecturers find themselves continually challenged in their endeavour to teach in areas

ACTIVE CITIZENSHIP

39
relating to Social Sciences, Politics, and Law. Although the internet proves to be helpful in terms of sourcing information and providing additional reading material for students, the lack of relevant subject expertise makes it difficult for the respective lecturers to evaluate the relevance and accuracy of the reading material thus obtained. The lack of basic language skills becomes evident when students are asked to express ideas and opinions in the form of paragraphs or essays. Should the success rate of the module be measured in relation to basic language skills, the pass rate would prove to be dismal. Thus far, the course has been taught to second year students in the first and second semesters respectively. This will change from 2015, as the bridging phase of the BA Humanities Extended Degree will be located entirely during the first year of study, more specifically in the second semester. Course lecturers are currently challenged to improve methods to implement close monitoring of student performance relating to (i) regular class attendance (ii) group discussions and (iii) overall participation in course aspects.
Relevancy and impact of subsidised academic programmes The Humanities Deanery, together with the relevant faculty committees, have oversight of the quality and relevance of the academic programmes.
In 2013 an external review of the professional Psychology programmes was undertaken by the Health Professions Council. The Social Work programmes were reviewed by both ASASWEI and SACSSP. In both departments disputes have arisen regarding aspects of the reviews; which are currently being addressed.
The review of the Humanities PQM was completed in 2013. The review addressed the alignment of Humanities programmes to the new HEQF, as well as the timetable footprint of these programmes, and resulted in extensive amendments. The new PQM, which is currently being phased in, has also resulted in a reduction of student numbers in individual modules, and a more favourable staff-student ratio in some of the larger modules.
The review of 104 postgraduate programmes will hopefully start in the second semester of 2014 and be completed early in 2015. The Faculty will use this opportunity to open up the BA Honors offerings for inter- and multi-disciplinary collaboration between departments in the Faculty and to create at least one multi-disciplinary and one joint coursework MA programme.
Proposed interdisciplinary program: M Phil Cognitive Neuroscience Developed by prof Alban Burke
The purpose of the program is twofold:
1. To add a cognitive neuroscience component to a particular academic discipline 2. Expose students to cognitive neuroscience research methods. The research can be either
toward theory building or for application purposes. Given the advances in neuroscience there has been an exponential increase in both our understanding of brain functioning, as well as how this knowledge can be applied in different contexts. The qualification will allow students to enter a research based career, or (depending on the electives) secure a career where knowledge can be applied. It is proposed that the program be situated primarily, but not exclusively, in the Faculty of Humanities. The program will be a coursework Master’s degree and students will be required to complete 2 compulsory, and 2 elective, coursework modules. The proposed structure of the coursework is:
40
SEMESTER 1 SEMESTER 2
Compulsory Module 12: Minor dissertation (year module)
Module 1: Basic Principles of Neuropsychology
Module 2: Fundamentals of Neurocognitive functions
Electives Module 4: Neoro-anatomy and Neuro-physiology
Module 3: Educational Neuroscience
Module 6: Philosophy of mind Module 5: Functional Neuro-imaging
Module 8: Social Neuroscience Module 7: Mind, Brain and Linguistics
Module 10: Mathematical Foundations Module 9: Artificial Cognitive Systems
Module 11: Human Cognitive Evolution
As can be seen from the proposed structure, students are afforded a wide range of electives from different disciplines and faculties. In addition to the Faculty of Humanities, other participating faculties include: Education, Health Sciences, Engineering and the Built Environment and Science.
Recommendations made by the Faculty Peer Review panel, which impact on the content and delivering of syllabi, along with other recommendations, are currently under discussion in the Faculty, and some issues have already been resolved.

Undergraduate Research
Most departments integrate research skills training in their undergraduate modules; some efforts are mentioned below:
Strategic Communication
Research forms an integral part of the curriculum of every year level within the undergraduate courses in the BA Strategic Communication degree, and is integrated in the curricular learning at both a theoretical and applied level. At these levels, students are sensitised to the value of applied research, and how this can assist in addressing societal and business problems. Research is also an integral part of the professional practice, and curriculums therefore all include both conceptual and applied research components in every undergraduate module.
41
Research is introduced on the first year level through the development of abstract conceptual thinking skills, and exposure to research concepts, terminology and basic methodology. These concepts are then applied to a real life assignment. The assignment focuses on a current business problem within the Strategic Communication industry, and students apply their creative thinking and conceptual skills to analyse the problem by applying the basic research steps and techniques that they have been exposed to. Research is also integrated on both the theoretical and applied level in the second year. Students are exposed to research within the Strategic Communication Theory course where they deal with the theory of research approaches and techniques. This is then applied within a real life campaign based on a brief from an actual client in the applied course. The client for 2014 is the International Organisation for Migration (IOM). The development of such a campaign requires the completion of a significant research component before a brand business solution can be proposed to the client. This year level focuses on the more advanced application and execution of research in response to generating a specific solution for the client. Research is included as a core component of the curriculum at the third year level of the Strategic Communication course. It is dealt with extensively from a theoretical perspective. Students are exposed to different approaches, methodologies, designs and instruments, and learners are taught to select appropriate research methodologies to assist in understanding and creating a solution to the business problem of a specific client. Learners are required to demonstrate a holistic understanding of the research approach adopted, and select appropriate methodologies and research designs to develop strategic business solutions for actual clients. The learners understanding and ability to conceptualise and operationalise research is also tested within an academic assignment which is set for each semester. The curriculums of the BA Strategic Communication degrees offer unique and innovative opportunities to incorporate research into the curriculum through service learning, and to put the learning to be philosophy into practice. The contribution generated at the undergraduate level is evident from the many award winning campaign strategies, as well as those that have been adopted and executed by NGO’s such as Matla Bana, Organ Donor Foundation, Organisation for Migration, Babies behind Bars, Cotlands, Choc, and many other similar non- profit organisations, as well as internal UJ divisions and centres such as FADA and the Centre for Social Research.
Classical Cultures and Mythologies Classical Culture and Mythology students write two literary critical essays between 3-4000 words per semester from second year. For their final module in third year which concerns the reception of Classics from the Renaissance to the 21st Century in addition to a written paper – they have to present their research in seminar format with a visual presentation: they have to choose a classical theme/myth/character and discuss its reception in Modern Literature, Art, Film or Music.
Sociology At the 3rd year level Sociology currently runs a Social Science Research Practical programme. This entails a double-period session every week across both semesters to teach elements of the research process. This is in addition to the 3 periods of ‘normal’ classes per week.
Anthropology and Development Studies The development of research skills are built in, and scaffolded, throughout the undergraduate curriculum for both Anthropology and Development Studies – from picking a topic, to searching,
42
literature review, data collection, data analysis, and writing up. Further, both subjects also have a term course focused on research – at third year level for Anthropology, and second semester second year for Development Studies. 5. RESEARCH FOOTPRINT AND IMPACT The Faculty of Humanities is proud of its achievements in terms of research. The faculty still has the second highest number of accredited research outputs in the university.
Current and Emerging Areas of High Impact Research The particular academic departments, research centres and the SARChi Chair that have been maintaining a high research output over recent years are the Department of Politics, the Department of Greek and Latin Studies, the Department of Philosophy, the Centre for Social Development in Africa, the Centre for Sociological Research, the Department of English and the Chair in Social Change. The Department of English has been increasing its research outputs steadily and is the top performer in terms of total accredited research outputs in 2013 with a total of 21 units for accredited articles and .23 of a unit for a chapter in a book. The Department of English has thus produces 21.23 units. The Department of Philosophy is in the second place with a total of 12.33 accredit units for articles and two books amounting to a total of 7.62 units and .35 of a unit for a chapter in a book. Their total research outputs therefore amounts to 20.3 units. The Centre for Social Development in Africa is in fourth place with 14.72 units for accredited articles. The Department of Greek and Latin Studies has produced a total of 13 research output units in 2013. The Departments of English, Philosophy and Politics have not only produced high quantities of research outputs, they have also been producing high quality outputs as is evident from the fact that these three discipline areas have been singled out in the QS ranking. Some of the other research fields that have been delivering high impact research are the Centre for Social Development in Africa and Greek and Latin Studies and Sociology. Since the staff members who were employed in the Centre for Sociological Research (notable Professor Desai) have moved to the Department of Sociology, sociology as a research area now has a number of established researchers and should be able to make an impact in the international arena (bearing in mind that the Chair in Social Change also does research in the broad area of sociology). The research done by Prof Ben Hendrickx focusing on
Prolific Academic Experts The most prolific researcher in the Faculty of Humanities is Prof Thad Metz who has published an accredited book and six articles in 2013. His total output including a book and two book chapters amounts to 11.07 units. Prof Ashwin Desai has also published prolifically. He has also published six accredited articles and six accredited book chapters bringing his research output tally to 6.92 accredited units. Apart from these publications he has also co-edited a book on Chatsworth (which does not qualify for research subsidy). Prof Stephen Gray, a Senior Research Associate in the Department of English, has published five accredited research articles amounting to 5 output units in 2013. Research and the research collaboration done by CSDA has been in the international spotlight for some time and strong links have been established with institutions in Africa and abroad. The exiting research done under the auspices of CfAR will also make inroads in the research community nationally and internationally henceforth. The ground breaking research done by Prof Marlize Lombard in the TrACKS research programme and the work done by Dr Colin Menter on the Drimolin site is also becoming increasingly valuable.

Subsidised Publication Output The faculty will have to implement strategies to increase the number of research output units in 2014. The reasons for the drop in research output units of 30.52 from 2012 to 2013 needs to be determined and the necessary steps need to be taken to increase the outputs to prevent a further drop in outputs in 2014 (especially due to the transfer of the Department of Public Management and Governance to the Faculty of Management.

2010 76.17 62.87 136.04
2009 67.5 47.28 114.79
These are provisional figures. The 2013 research outputs in terms of accredited articles (149.97 units) is somewhat lower than 2012 (178.53 units). However, the ratio of articles published in international journals compared to those published in South African journals, is rising steadily. Table 15: Total Output Submissions to DHET

2009 114.79 6.5 17.83 0.5 142.8
A larger percentage of the total output for 2013 comprises of accredited articles, rather than books, chapters in books and conference proceedings. While the latter categories of output are important in the Humanities, and will remain so, these outputs are not as clear-cut due to DHET’s lack of disclosure of successful claims in these categories.

Post-doctoral Research Fellows
The Postdoctoral Research Fellowship programme is critical for a steady increase in research output, and for contributing to the intellectual profile and research activities in the faculty. In 2013 the faculty had thirty two PDRFs. The postdoctoral fellows were hosted by the following departments, research centres and SARChi Chairs: Anthropology and Development Studies, Chair: African Diplomacy and Foreign Policy, Chair: Social Change, CfAR, CSDA, English, Historical Studies, Greek and Latin Studies, Linguistics, Philosophy, Politics, Religion Studies and Sociology. The total amount generated by the subsidised research outputs published by the PDRFs is paid into a PDRF fund. This enables the faculty to monitor the income and expenditure patterns of the PDRF programme is order to manage it properly. The aim is to make the PDRF programme self-sustaining.

Research Centres and Chairs
Centre for Sociological Research Prof Ashwin Desai assumed the Directorship of CSR in July 2012. The CSR engages in a wide range of research areas, including a project on Alternatives in Development (SANPAD) on the township of Chatsworth in Durban, civil society discussions and mobilizations around BRICS, racial inequalities in familial and economic institutions and the consequences for adolescents in post-apartheid South Africa, the sociology of law and sport as well as a collaborative project with the Department of Sociology on ‘Contested Youth Identities in Higher Education: A Comparison between Universities in India and South Africa’. At the end of 2013 the CSR was closed and absorbed into the Department of Sociology primarily due to the fact that there was a large overlap between the research done by the centre and its cognate department.
The Centre for Social Development in Africa The CSDA, under Directorship of Prof Leila Patel, is consolidating its research footprint locally and internationally as a cutting-edge research centre in the field of social development. As it celebrates its ten year anniversary in 2014, the Centre’s diverse research foci contribute to knowledge, strategic thinking, debate, dialogue and critical policy perspectives in government, civil society and in corporate social investment. The CSDA accredited research output has grown significantly over last three years. 2013 was a particularly successful year, with a total of 35 publications, which included fourteen journal articles and three books. In the last three years, the Centre’s publication output came to 48 journal articles (35.53 units) with an average of 11.84 units per year. We aim to grow our accredited publication output to 14 units annually. The CSDA student contingent had an excellent record of academic scholarship for 2013. Among others, three Doctoral students and one Master’s student graduated, and fifteen Political Science Honours students completed a research module presented by the Centre in collaboration with UJ’s Department of Politics. Increasingly, our Centre is a reference point in the Global South and North for international staff and student exchange and as a collaborating partner in socially relevant research. The CSDA has collaborated with 45 local and 51 international partners over the last ten years. Prof Patel was the 2013 Helen Harris Perlman Visiting Professor of International Social Welfare at University of Chicago. Moreover, scholars from seven countries are engaged in research and publishing
49
partnerships with the Centre. So far we have hosted ten postgraduate Utrecht University students who conducted field research in Doornkop, Soweto. In addition, we are a founding member of Southern African Social Protection Experts Network (SASPEN), which is a loose alliance of stakeholders who engage in social protection in the SADC region. Our research is of national and international significance. One of our flagship projects is the Youth Assets and Employability Study, which is funded by the Ford Foundation. The project will implement and rigorously test the concept of ‘asset-building’ to address youth unemployment. In 2014, the CSDA intends to build on these strengths and to continue to grow the Centre as a leading social development research site in Africa
Centre for Anthropological Research (CfAR) Thea de Wet, Professor of Anthropology and Development Studies, has been Director of CfAR since 2011. The CfAR consolidated its programme of research into three areas: Evidence-Informed Policy, Urban Issues, and Human Biological and Cultural Origins. CfAR’s Evidence-Informed Policy team, led by Prof Ruth Stewart, has been particularly successful in securing international grants for conducting systematic reviews on a number of development issues, such as Micro Finance, Urban Agriculture and Smallholder Farming in Africa). Recently UJ signed a three year contract, worth in excess of R20 million, with the UK Department for International Development (DfID) for ‘Building Capacity in Using Research Evidence (BCURE)’ in the South African and Malawian governments. CfAR also continues its research and activities around urban poverty, migration, food security, livelihoods, and media. Prof Liz Gunner, a B-rated NRF scientist’s, research focusses on performance and social meaning. She is completing a monograph titled Sounding the Present: Radio in Difficult Times. Drimolen, in the Cradle of Humankind, is the third richest hominin-bearing site in southern Africa—research there continues to shed light on our distant ancestors. Dr Colin Menter has received more than R2 million from the NRF since 2011 for Drimolen research and training activities. He has international palaeoanthropology collaborators in a number of institutions which include Italy, UK, USA, France, Australia and Germany. Archaeologists linked to CfAR investigate and publish in local and international journals on the evolution of Stone Age human cognition and knowledge systems. Prof de Wet received funding from the NRF and UJ to lead a project on Changing climate, heat and local knowledge from 2014 to 2016. This multi-disciplinary multi-institutional project (UJ, the CSIR and the MRC) will combine science and local knowledge to develop and find innovative and integrative health improvement solutions for three communities near Rustenburg who will have to adapt to an increase in temperature of their natural environment due to weather and climate changes. Postgraduate student bursaries account for half of the funds received.
Sanlam Centre for Public Management and Governance The Centre, managed by Prof Christelle Auriacombe, caters for professional public sector capacity building by way of extra-curricular programmes, cooperative training and research initiatives with local government, industry and societal organisations, workshops and consulting. The Centre provides valuable training in various areas of Public Management and Governance to a number of public sector employees. The Centre There has a strong research arm.

Centre for the Study of Democracy The struggle for democracy in South Africa inspired democrats around the world. While it is almost twenty years since a democratic system was achieved here, there was, until the centre’s establishment, not a single academic institute dedicated to the study of democracy in South Africa. The Centre for the Study of Democracy, a joint initiative of the University of Johannesburg and Rhodes University, fills this gap, under the Director, Prof Steven Friedman. The Centre is dedicated to an attempt to understand democracy and the specific forms it takes within South Africa and on the African continent. To this end, it has developed a substantial research programme. The key component is a programme of research into relations between citizens and the state. Specific areas of focus are:
An attempt to understand opportunities for and obstacles to citizen participation in democratic governance,
The role of civil society organisations as vehicles for a citizen voice.
Ways in which citizens who do not participate in civil society organisations make their voice heard in South Africa and other African democracies; and
The role of provincial and local government in the exercising of citizen voice.
South African Research Chair in Social Change This government-funded research chair is held by Prof Peter Alexander. In addition to his salary, the government, through the National Research Foundation, also supports three post-doctoral fellowships and bursaries for three doctoral, three MA and three honours students, part of the salary of a senior researcher, and some research costs. Additional funds have been raised from the Rosa Luxembourg Foundation, the Raith Foundation, Atlantic Philanthropies and the mining industry. The Chair focuses on social change, specifically in South Africa, but has undertaken international comparative research. In 2013, members of the unit associated with the Chair, published Class in Soweto (authored by Peter Alexander, Claire Ceruti, Keke Motseke, Mosa Phadi and Kim Wale). New editions of Marikana: A View from the Mountain and a Case to Answer (Peter Alexander, Thapelo Lekgowa, Botsang Mmope, Luke Sinwell and Bongani Xezwi) were published in the UK, USA, Germany and France. Peter Alexander is currently working on Mining: past and present (co-edited with Stefan Berger and published by Ashgate), and, together with two other members of the unit, Carin Runciman and Trevor Ngwane, he is preparing a manuscript for South Africa's Rebellion of the Poor. The Chair has made a considerable media impact, particularly with its work on Marikana and on community protests. Peter Alexander is a trustee of the Marikana Dignity Trust and a member of the Board of Community Agency for Social Enquiry (CASE).
South African Research Chair in African Diplomacy and Foreign Policy The SARChi Chair in African Diplomacy and Foreign Policy is the incubator of a research programme that places two concurrent challenges at the centre of its work. These are: the national challenge of honing and refining South Africa’s national interests within its ‘African Agenda’; and, the continental challenge of researching Africa’s interstate and international relations with a view to enhancing African agency on the world stage. Research conducted at the Chair focuses on four broad areas: Africa’s evolving peace and security architecture; the operationalization of the New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD) and the African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM); the role of Africa’s Regional Economic Communities (RECs); and, finally, Africa’s strategic partnerships in the Global North and the Global South. The Chair’s vision of being “a Pan-African research and post-graduate development centre of international repute engaging in African challenges through rigorous research in diplomacy and
51
foreign policy” is being gradually borne out through the work of the Chair, Prof Chris Landsberg, and his team at the Centre. Along with research, outreach and the cultivation of graduate students, are key objectives of the Chair. Prof Landsberg, and Senior Researcher, Dr Candice Moore, supervise Master’s and Doctoral theses in areas broadly within the scope of African foreign policy, including areas as diverse as the interrogation of the concept of ‘hegemony’ in the Southern African region, to the analysis of the European Union’s relations with the countries of North Africa. In addition to graduate students, the Chair hosts a number of post-doctoral fellows whose work contributes to the vision of the Chair, focusing on areas which include the dynamics of conflict in Kenya, the political economy of southern Africa, and the technological aspects of African diplomacy. 6. INTERNATIONALISATION The Faculty has a strong international presence in terms of staff representation. The faculty had 10 international staff making up 5% of its employee profile in 2013. International student numbers are however still a concern and the faculty hopes to work with the Internationalisation office to increase these numbers in 2014 and 2015.

Various staff members are internationally engaged Activities include an international symposium on “Youth assets” and a “Youth unemployment roundtable discussion” hosted by the CSDA and a workshop on “Phenomenology and its Futures,” hosted by the department of Philosophy. The Department of Strategic Communication is involved in the planning of the 2015 International Public Relations Association (IPRA) Conference. The Faculty does not yet offer joint degrees with international institutions. However, the Department of Strategic communication is in the process of developing an interdisciplinary professional doctoral programme in Change Management with Prof Steve Cady of Bowling Green University, Ohio. Most departments visit international institutions, either to present papers or as delegates. Departments also host foreign visitors as guest lecturers and to present public lectures. Prof F Summers, of the Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University, Chicago, for instance gave a very successful public lecture on Psychoanalytic Theory and Therapy. The Faculty is actively building international relationships, which will hopefully lead to more formal agreements. In 2013 Prof Alex Broadbent of the Philosophy department visited the University of Birmingham, a Universitas 21 institution, to establish such a relationship. The department of Strategic Communication has an established relationship with both Bowling Green University, Ohio, USA and University of New York, New York, USA. The research centres also have strong links to international institutions, the CSDA currently has more than 50 collaborative projects with such institutions.

7. COMMUNITY SERVICE, STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT AND REPUTATION MANAGEMENT
Faculty seminars and events
The Faculty launched its public seminar series in 2007. The intention of these lectures/seminars is to create a premier forum for academic discussion and debate. In 2013 the faculty held 5 Humanities Public Lectures, and speakers included Profs Frank Summers, Penny Plowman and Hansie Wolmarans. The Departments of Sociology and Department of Anthropology and Development Studies jointly host a seminar series, which in 2013 included twenty six prominent South African and international speakers. International participation was strong and this seems to have boosted the stature of the series. Most notably, the first term series - focused on the then recent Marikana massacre - pleased commentators because the programme was not dominated by political ideologies or one or two prominent voices, but characterised by rigorous academic work. This programme included Prof Rosalind Morris (University of Columbia), one of the most highly recognised anthropologists in the world. Ferial Haffajee, editor of City Press, also participated in a debate with Prof Jane Duncan (Rhodes University), while Prof Dunbar Moodie (Hobart & William Smith College), possibly the world’s most recognised social science scholar on the subject of mining, participated in two sessions. After changes in the top management of the TriContinental Film Festival, it was nevertheless possible to nurture that partnership / relationship again, for us to be able to continue with our regular term-end documentary screenings in the Common Room. Finally, our social media presence appears to be attracting a modest amount of attention from around the globe. As long as we can continue to rely on a reasonable increase in the faculty allocation every year, at the end of 2013, we feel that the seminar series is going from strength to strength. The faculty also hosts the annual Helen Joseph memorial lecture. The focus of the lecture series is to honour Helen Joseph as an iconic figure, unceasingly committed to the service of others. The keynote address at the 2013 lecture was entitled: ‘Do social grants create more problems than they solve’, and was delivered by Prof Leila Patel, Director of the Centre for Social development in Africa.
54
The Afrikaans department hosted the annual NP van Wyk Louw Memorial Lecture, presented by Prof Heilna du Plooy, with the title "Die Beeld is duursamer as die begrip". A number of academic departments, notably Philosophy, Greek and Latin, Historical Studies, and English, among others, hosted scholarly seminars in 2013. More than twenty such academic seminars were hosted in 2013.
Community Engagement Community engagement is an integral part of most departments within Humanities, with staff involved in 16 community engagement projects. These projects fall within the three pillars of community engagement at UJ, namely: service learning, community-based research and organised outreach. Projects included youth development programmes; pro bono family therapy; social work first-year internship programmes; and involvement with organisations such as Worldvision. There are two flagship CE projects in the Faculty:
Sophiatown Project The Sophiatown project involves both social research and a grassroots initiative aimed at fostering reconciliation between residents of different races in Sophiatown and, by extension, the country. The project was launched in February 2009, the date chosen to coincide with the commemoration of 54 years since the start of forced removals in Sophiatown. The project is managed by Professor Natasha Erlank. The Sophiatown Project has the potential to transform the relationship between research and community engagement: the project involves the co-creation of knowledge and research agendas, provides agency and identity for complex communities, and is an experiment in news ways of creating knowledge. The research on the Sophiatown project came to an end in 2013, and resulted in a book Experiencing Sophiatown: Conversations Among Residents about the Past, Present, and Future of a Community.
55
Phumani Paper The Faculty took on the administration of Phumani Papers in 2012. Phumani is a Johannesburg-based NGO that focuses on the empowerment of women through entrepreneurship in rural areas. Phumani manufactures a variety of paper products, often on the cutting edge of handmade paper technologies, and is the only producer of archival paper in SA. Unfortunately the project was canceled in 2013 due to financial constraints. There are, however, plans to reinstate the project under a different board and new management.
Babies Behind Bars 2013 also saw the beginning of exiting CE projects, these include: Babies Behind Bars, a service learning project where 3rd year Corporate and Marketing Communication students developed a media strategy for the NPO. This is a non-profit organisation (NPO) focussed on the wellbeing of babies born and raised in prison in South Africa and Namibia. Another exiting project is a community based research project in the Department of Social Work investigating gender based violence in Schools.

Humanities Prize Giving
Annually the faculty honours its top achievers at the Humanities prize-giving event. All those who have graduated cum laude within the BA, BA Honours and MA programmes, and all Doctoral graduates, are recipients of a faculty prize and certificate. The event recognises students for their outstanding academic achievements. At the 2013 event there were 99 recipients, which included 20 PHD graduates.

Creative Writing Awards The UJ Prize for Creative Writing in Afrikaans for 2012 was awarded to Ingrid Winterbach for her novel Die aanspraak van lewende wesens, and the UJ Debut Prize went to André Kruger for Die twee lewens van Dieter Ondracek.
The UJ South African Writing in English award-winners for 2013 were Steven Boykey Sidley, for Entanglement (Debut Prize) and Ken Bariss, for Life under Water (Main Prize). Ken Barris won the 2013 UJ Prize for South African Writing in English with his novel Life Underwater (Kwela, 2012). Set chiefly in Port Elizabeth in the 1960s, the novel chronicles the childhood and early adulthood of three brothers: Jude, Simon and Eli Machabeus. From the first page it crackles with vitality: the characters are not just three-dimensional and believable; they are also charged with an energy that constantly simmers just below the surface of Machabeus family life. Steven Boykey Sidley took the UJ Debut Prize for his riveting first novel Entanglement (Picador Africa, 2012). This thriller-cum-novel-of-ideas is set mainly in an unidentified part of the US, with a foray into London. In an interesting trend among emerging South African writers (Lauren Beukes and Amanda Coetzee are two other recent examples), Boykey Sidley eschews South African settings and themes entirely.

Total Expenses The table below provides detail of all aspects of expenditure. It is noteworthy that 93% (2012 -89%) of the total expenses are utilized for personnel remuneration. The capital expenses have decreased with 51% (2012 Increased 13%). Academic operating expenses have declined by 55% (2012 – 14%). The printing and photocopying supplier has been changed and this has made a significant difference in the printing budget. This is concerning as this clearly indicates that the faculty doesn’t allocate and use the budgets allocated for academic expenses.

10. CONCLUSION AND WAY FORWARD The Faculty of Humanities has done well in the QS rankings with Politics and International Studies and English being singled out. The faculty will capitalise on its achievement in this regard and work systematically towards improving its ranking in future. In this regard the faculty has to rely on the performance and standing of its top academics. Three staff members of the Faculty of Humanities were recipients of the VC’s distinguished awards in 2013. Prof Thea de Wet became the fourth recipient from the faculty of the Vice-Chancellor’s Award for Teaching Excellence while Prof Alex Broadbent received the VC’s Distinguished Award – Most Promising Young Researcher of the Year and Prof Chris Landsberg received the Vice-Chancellor’s award for Outstanding Service beyond the Normal Call of Duty. Contributions on a wide range of topics by staff members in the Faculty of Humanities (inter alia Profs Freedman, Cloete, Patel, Beukes, Landsberg, Metz, Pienaar and Broadbent and Dr Croucamp) appear frequently in the press, or on television and radio strengthening the public face of the faculty and the university. The faculty’s Top Achievers and Dean’s List functions held annually are important events where the faculty celebrate the achievements and strengthen ties with them. The public lectures and seminar series (notably the Helen Joseph, the UJ Sociology, Anthropology and Development Studies, History, Politics, Philosophy, Linguistics and Greek and Latin Studies seminar series) offered in the faculty also contribute to establishing a research platform and building the faculty stature and reputation. Research remains one of the faculty’s strong points. Collaborative research is on the rise while certain individuals in the faculty retain an exceptionally high volume of research outputs and the faculty will continue to foster both forms of research. Even though there has been a decline in the number of research outputs generated in the Faculty of Humanities in 2013 compared to 2012 the faculty is still producing the second highest number of research outputs in the university and the faculty continues to increase its research footprint in leading internationally accredited Social Science and Humanities journals as is evident from the research output report. Researchers also publish a large number of books and chapters in books annually. The research output in the faculty is one of the highest in Humanities faculties in South Africa. Our reputation as an outstanding faculty has grown steadily over the past years, and will continue to grow. The ongoing faculty interventions in support of research and researchers are bearing fruit. The support given to NRF rated researchers, the writing retreats for less experienced researchers and the support for hosting international conferences at our institution has contributed to a more conducive research environment. Both the CSDA (that celebrated its 10th anniversary) and CfAR (that is a relatively young research centre) have been very successful in raising external funding for exiting research projects. Other researchers have also secured external funding for research. The newly established SARChi Chair in African Diplomacy and Foreign Policy has already established itself as a leading
67
research entity with extensive ties with national and international scholars in the particular field. Research as a core activity in the faculty is well-entrenched in the two Chairs, three research centres and seventeen departments in the faculty. Teaching and Learning in the faculty has thrived over the past five years. The overall undergraduate success rate in the Faculty increased from 75.8% in 2009 to 83.5% in 2013, and the success rate of first-time entering students from 67.2% to 80.7% over the same period. An excellent tutorial system, the First-year Experience Programme, and a dedicated corps of lecturers have, no doubt, played a large part in the substantial improvement of student performance during this time. Another major achievement, and the result of three years of intensive consultations with all departments in the Faculty and a review of all undergraduate programmes, is the phasing in of a streamlined and more focused new PQM, with fewer and more relevant subject choice options. This in future will allow for more manageable class sizes. Some of the traditionally large first year modules already this year registered fewer students. In addition, students start off with fewer modules in the first year, which allows for more intensive support and interventions when and where required. Humanities has always been a faculty that challenges boundaries, and this tradition continues. The faculty is becoming increasingly international, both in its staff/student profile and through its academic connections with universities abroad. As well as crossing national borders, the faculty is increasingly crossing disciplinary boundaries, with several new joint and interdisciplinary Masters programmes in the making. The faculty is also crossing the traditional line between teaching and research, by actively encouraging undergraduate participation in research activities. Two of the faculty’s flagship Community engagement projects came to an end in 2013. The research on the Sophiatown project resulted in a book Experiencing Sophiatown: Conversations among Residents about the Past, Present, and Future of a Community. The Phumani paper projects was cancelled in 2013 due to financial constraints. There are, however, plans to reinstate the project under a different board and new management. 2013 also saw the beginning of exiting CE projects, these include: Babies Behind Bars, a service learning project where 3rd year Corporate and Marketing Communication students developed a media strategy for the NPO. This is a non-profit organisation (NPO) focused on the well-being of babies born and raised in prison in South Africa and Namibia. Another exiting project is a community based research project in the Department of Social Work investigating gender based violence in Schools. The faculty is currently developing some exiting new Community engagement projects. it will see current community based research done in Development studies combined with service learning modules in the Community Development and Leadership programme on SWC. This will grow the faculty’s’ CE presence on Soweto campus. The faculty will continue to pursue greater levels of excellence in research, teaching and community involvement fostering its national and international partnerships and collaborations aligning it stronger to the GES programme and focusing on its international standing.

HOW MENTORSHIP PRACTICES AT A UNIVERSITY IN JOHANNESBURG CONTRIBUTES TO THE SOCIAL LEARNING OF NOVICE LECTURERS
June 2014 2019
S.YAFELE What went right? An investigation: into the factors that may have contributed to the improved levels of literacy of students in a first-year university communication skills course.
S.YAFELE
N/A
Jan 2013 13 Aug 2013
N/A $200
The paper was accepted for publication by the International Journal of Humanities and Social Science (IJHSS). It would have been published on 15 August 2013 but I could not get sponsorship from my university for the $200 publication fee which was required. The university (U.J) indicated to me that IJHSS was not an accredited journal so they would not give me financial assistance. In light of the above developments, I had to withdraw my article mainly
81
due to financial constraints and also due to the fact that colleagues at my university informed me that IJHSS was not a recommended and accredited journal in academic circles. I will keep trying to have the article published.

N/A $200 The paper was accepted for publication by the International Journal of Humanities and Social Science (IJHSS). It would have
been published on 15 August 2013 but I could not get sponsorship from my university for the $200 publication fee which was required. The university (U.J) indicated to me that IJHSS was not an
accredited journal so they would not give me financial assistance. In light of the above developments, I had to withdraw my article mainly due to financial constraints and also due to the fact that colleagues at my university informed me that IJHSS was not a
recommended and accredited journal in academic circles. I will keep trying to have the article published.

Matla a bana is a non-profit organisation that is involved in training the police, social workers, medical staff and members of the justice system in how to proceed once a child has been raped. They approached us because they wanted a brand campaign to create awareness about the importance of rape disclosure. They wanted the focus to be on influencing the various influencers of children 0-7 years. This was incorporated into our third year syllabi as a form of community engagement that also got formally assessed as part of this course.

Alexander. In order to keep on funding the outreach program they needed to increase the number of tickets sold for big ballet productions at the Civic theatre. In the past roughly a hundred tickets were sold for a typical ballet show while the Civic had a capacity of 640 seats. Consequently the Honours students were briefed with increasing the number of tickets sold across the duration of the next forthcoming ballet at the Civic namely Don Quixote. This was incorporated into the Honours Applied course that also got formally assessed.

Babies Behind Bars
Babies Behind Bars is a NPO working towards the improvement of babies born in prisons in South Africa and Namibia and their well-being and development. In many instances the state cannot fully provide for some of the needs of these babies. Babies Behind Bars ensures that donations are delivered to prisons and time is spent at these institutions where it can assist with development of the baby or the improvement of the environment that this baby is within.
