We conduct multidisciplinary research and strive to develop researchers whose practices generate institutional, national and international impact

Vision

The Research and Incubation Hub envisions:

• Promoting and strengthening postgraduate supervision practices.
• Conducting context-specific and relevant research.
• Reading and critically reviewing research proposals, project applications, and book proposals to provide feedback during Research and Innovation Hub Scientific Committee meetings.
• Evaluating examiner nominations submitted by supervisors and/or promoters for consideration.
• Contributing to the development of competent researchers who explore innovative approaches to interrogating complex systems.
• Exploring postcolonial literary studies through two key conceptions of identity: race and gender.
• Examining the relationship between language, identity, and society.
• Researching and decolonising the curriculum.
• Developing and disseminating impactful research.
• Promoting research within FEDU and enhancing the throughput and success of postgraduate students.

Mission

Driven by a practical and justice-oriented praxis, the hub strives to develop new researchers and focus groups dwelling on postgraduate development programmes, longitudinal studies, the nurturing of critical data analysis skills, hosting writing schools, seminars and colloquia. Permeability and the cross-fertilisation of research orientations and practices cutting across the disciplines in the Faculty of Education are signposts for the Hub.
