She will also examine how the COVID-19 pandemic temporarily opened space for recognizing students’ psychosocial and economic realities and use this to offer insights into new relationships between students, the university, and society.</span></p><p style="color:#242424;background-color:#ffffff;margin-bottom:0px;text-align:justify;"><span style="border:0px;font-style:inherit;font-variant:inherit;font-weight:inherit;font-stretch:inherit;line-height:inherit;font-size-adjust:inherit;font-feature-settings:inherit;margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;color:inherit;font-family:raleway;font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p style="color:#242424;background-color:#ffffff;font-family:aptos, sans-serif;margin-bottom:0px;text-align:justify;"><span style="border:0px;font-style:inherit;font-variant:inherit;font-weight:inherit;font-stretch:inherit;line-height:inherit;font-family:raleway;font-size-adjust:inherit;font-feature-settings:inherit;margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;color:inherit;font-size:14px;">Drawing on Derrida (2001), Mignolo (2012), and Anzaldúa (1987), Prof. Lange proposes an ethics of hospitality as a response to the unresolved questions of #RhodesMustFall and #FeesMustFall, envisioning a refoundation of the university in the 21st century.</span></p><p>​<br></p><p><span style="font-family:raleway;"><span style="color:#333333;font-size:14px;background-color:#ffffff;">​</span><span data-contrast="none" lang="EN-ZA" class="TextRun SCXW75492513 BCX0" style="background-color:#ffffff;margin:0px;padding:0px;color:#8b0000;font-size:12pt;line-height:19px;font-weight:bold;font-family:raleway;">Biography of speaker</span>​<br></span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-family:raleway;">​<span style="color:#242424;background-color:#ffffff;font-size:14px;">Prof. Lis Lange is Special Advisor to the Deputy Vice-Chancellor Learning and Teaching at Stellenbosch University.

The University has awarded 21 fellowships since then. </span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-family:raleway;font-size:14px;"> <br></span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-family:raleway;font-size:14px;">SU academics who are currently holding a teaching fellowship are: Prof Debby Blaine (Faculty of Engineering), Prof Nicola Plastow (Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences), Dr Taryn Bernard (Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences), Dr Marnel Mouton (Faculty of Science) and Dr Mariette Volschenk (Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences):</span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"> <img src="/english/PublishingImages/Lists/dualnews/My%20Items%20View/Teaching%20Fellowships%202025.png" alt="Teaching Fellowships 2025.png" style="margin:5px;width:396px;height:120px;" /><br></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-family:raleway;font-size:14px;"><br></span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-family:raleway;font-size:14px;">The University Capacity Development Plan (UCDP) will be funding <strong>three more</strong><strong> teaching fellowships from 1 January 2025</strong>. </span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-family:raleway;font-size:14px;">The fellowships offer eminent academics with a track record of involvement with teaching-learning-assessment (TLA) and the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning support and opportunities over one to three years to enhance and share their TLA expertise at the departmental, faculty and institutional level. </span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-family:raleway;font-size:14px;">The core of a fellowship is a research project which could focus on any aspect of TLA, including macro-aspects such as programme or curriculum renewal, or more micro-aspects such as redesigning the assessment of a module or investigating innovative classroom interventions.</span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-family:raleway;font-size:14px;"> <br></span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-family:raleway;font-size:14px;">Prospective applicants need to bear in mind that the aim of a teaching fellowship is not to introduce academics to the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning. In-depth knowledge and application of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning are essential to undertake a research project on the level of a teaching fellowship. </span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-family:raleway;font-size:14px;">The closing date for applications for the 2025 teaching fellowships is <strong>18 November 2024</strong>. </span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"> <br></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-family:raleway;font-size:14px;">For more information, including the stipulations of the fellowships and the application form, please contact Dr Karin Cattell-Holden at </span><a href="mailto:kcattell@sun.ac.za" style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="font-family:raleway;font-size:14px;">kcattell@sun.ac.za</span></a><span style="font-family:raleway;font-size:14px;text-decoration:underline;">.</span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><br></p><p><br></p>

The literature argues that transitioning to responsive and contextually relevant curricula is an important strategy to equip students to be both clinically competent and critically conscious of the contexts in which they provide healthcare. However, little is known about how students understand social responsiveness and the implications for their involvement in reframing health professions curricula to be more responsive. </span><br style="font-family:raleway;font-size:14px;"></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-family:raleway;font-size:14px;">This presentation will focus on a qualitative study that explored the experiences of undergraduate final-year medical students regarding social responsiveness. </span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-family:raleway;font-size:14px;">Drawing on socially just pedagogies to offer insights into the student perspectives, the students expressed that the curriculum provided opportunities to engage with concepts related to social justice and equity. However, these opportunities were less frequent and were considered less valued when compared to biomedical knowledge. Furthermore, the cultures and traditions of medicine create conditions that position students as consumers of the curriculum. Nevertheless, students expressed a desire to be co-creators in the process of the transformation of the curriculum.</span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-family:raleway;font-size:14px;">As health professions education shifts towards advancing social justice, it is essential that the curricula grant students access to the type of knowledge and skills that will empower them to tackle injustice and become responsive to health inequities. This necessitates reframing what constitutes as powerful knowledge in medical education to include social justice. Additionally, students should be considered co-constructors of their learning and key role players in transforming curricula to be socially responsive and contextually relevant.</span><br></p><p><br></p><p><strong class="ms-rteForeColor-1" style="font-family:raleway;font-size:16px;">Biography of the speaker:</strong><br></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span class="ms-rteForeColor-1" style="font-family:raleway;font-size:16px;"><span class="ms-rteThemeForeColor-2-0" style="font-size:14px;">​</span><span class="ms-rteThemeForeColor-2-0" style="font-size:14px;">Anthea Hansen is a lecturer in the Department of Health Professions Education.

SU Teaching Fellowships 2024http://www.sun.ac.za/english/Lists/news/DispForm.aspx?ID=10535SU Teaching Fellowships 2024Karin Cattell-Holden<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-family:raleway;font-size:14px;">​<span style="color:#000000;">The SU Teaching Fellowships offer eminent academics with a track record of involvement with teaching-learning-assessment (TLA) and the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning support and opportunities over one to three years to enhance and share their TLA expertise at the departmental, faculty and institutional level. </span></span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-family:raleway;font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#000000;"><br></span></span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-family:raleway;font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#000000;">The University has awarded 22 fellowships since the inception of the project in 2009. In 2024 another new Fellow, Dr Mariette Volschenk, has joined the current cohort of Prof. Deborah Blaine (Faculty of Engineering), Dr Taryn Bernard (Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences), Dr Marnel Mouton (Faculty of Science) and Prof. Nicola Plastow (Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences). </span></span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-family:raleway;font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#000000;"><br></span></span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span class="ms-rteForeColor-1" style="font-family:raleway;font-size:14px;"><strong style="">Dr Mariette Volschenk </strong></span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-family:raleway;font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#000000;">Dr Volschenk is a Senior Lecturer in the Centre for Health Professions Education (CHPE) in the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences. She was appointed programme leader of the MPhil in HPE (MHPE) in 2023. Her doctoral studies indicated that many students may be unprepared for the challenges posed by master’s-level studies in HPE. The design of the SU MHPE as a hybrid learning interprofessional coursework programme deepens these challenges. Dr Volschenk realised the necessity for a more profound understanding of mastersness within the MHPE programme context, including strategies for professional socialization, innovative pedagogical and supervisory approaches, and virtual student support structures aimed at advancing the mastersness trajectories of MHPE candidates (Volschenk, 2021). </span></span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-family:raleway;font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#000000;">The overarching aim of Dr Volschenk’s teaching fellowship is to investigate and advance the cultivation of mastersness in the MHPE at SU. The primary focus is to facilitate wider access, enhance readiness for the transition to master’s-level studies, foster academic success among master's candidates, and catalyze their subsequent career trajectories as educational scholars and leaders in HPE. </span></span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-family:raleway;font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#000000;">The study intends to enhance SU’s responsiveness to national throughput and retention rates for postgraduate taught students. It should provide the university with a nuanced understanding of the dimensions of mastersness and the requisite skills for achieving academic success at this postgraduate level within HE. It is envisaged that some of the findings and ensuing interventions may potentially be transferable to other coursework master’s programmes offered in hybrid learning mode at SU as well as comparable MHPE programmes globally. Furthermore, this teaching fellowship will explore avenues for acquiring, strengthening, and sustaining the competencies of academic staff to facilitate the cultivation of mastersness in MHPE candidates. </span></span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-family:raleway;font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#000000;">We wish Dr Volschenk every success with her fellowship.</span></span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:raleway;font-size:14px;"><br></span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:raleway;font-size:14px;"></span><font color="#000000" face="times new roman" size="3"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:raleway;font-size:14px;">For more information about the Teaching Fellowships, please contact Dr Karin Cattell-Holden at kcattell@sun.ac.za.</span><br></font><br></p>
