Prof Tina Steiner en prof Louise Green (Fakulteit Lettere en Sosiale Wetenskappe) is opgewonde oor hulle uitnodiging na die eersdaagse ASSAf- (Academy of Science of South Africa )toekenningseremonie vir boekpryse in die menswetenskappe, waar di\u00e9 twee US-akademici vir hulle uitnemende prestasies erken sal word.<\/p>\n
Hoewel \u2019n ander werk die eerste prys verower het, het hulle werke eervolle vermelding ontvang as drie van die heel uitnemendste akademiese publikasies van die jaar. Prof Steiner en prof Green is albei aan die Departement Engels verbonde. Prof Steiner se boek, Convivial Worlds: Writing Relation from Africa<\/em> (2021), ondersoek alledaagse vorme van geselligheid in fiksie- en lewenskryfwerk uit Oos- en Suidelike Afrika met die oogmerk om die betekenis van repertoires van herstel te ondersoek in \u2019n w\u00eareld wat deur asimmetriese magsverhoudinge versplinter is. Prof Green se Fragments from the History of Loss: The Nature Industry and the Postcolony<\/em> (2020) beskou klimaatsverandering en omgewingskrisis vanuit die Suid-Afrikaanse perspektief om aan te toon hoe die lang geskiedenis van imperiale en koloniale uitbuiting steeds response op die huidige krisis help vorm.<\/p>\n Nasionale erkenning van hierdie aard is \u2019n seldsame gebeurtenis, en albei akademici is hoog in hulle skik daarmee dat hulle werk onder die top drie publikasies ingesluit is. Prof Steiner s\u00ea sy is dankbaar teenoor die ASSAf vir di\u00e9 bemoedigende blyk van bevestiging. Prof Green reken dit is \u2019n voorreg dat so \u2019n uitmuntende span interdissiplin\u00eare vakkundiges haar werk lees.<\/p>\n Die ASSAf-toekenningseremonie, wat op 30 Maart in Kaapstad plaasvind, sal \u2019n geleentheid wees wat nog lank onthou word, met akademici vanoor Suid-Afrika wat byeenkom om die bestes op die gebied te vereer. Profs Steiner en Green sien daarna uit om hulle navorsing en skryfwerk voort te sit, nuwe idees te ondersoek en die grense te toets van wat in die menswetenskappe moontlik is.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Prof Tina Steiner and Prof Louise Green (Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences) are pleased to have been invited to the upcoming Academy of Science of South Africa (ASSAf) Humanities Book Award ceremony, where their outstanding achievements will be recognised.
