On Tuesday,
March 18, from 11am-12:15pm in the Maxwell Library Heritage Room, join the Journal
of International Women’s Studies and the African Studies Program for Gender
Studies in the African Context, with Magezi Elijah Baloyi.
Professor Magezi
Elijah Baloyi, is a Professor in the Research Institute of Theology and
Religion at the University of South Africa. An expert on pastoral care and
counselling, gender studies within the African context, African religions and
indigenous knowledge systems, Baloyi's
research interests are deeply rooted in gender inequality, culture and
tradition. He observes that gender cannot be studied in isolation and that indigenous
knowledge systems are essential for the decolonisation and Africanisation of
academic disciplines. Professor Baloyi is involved in a research collaboration with
the Center of Theological Inquiry in Princeton, where he explores the
intersections of theology, psychology and philosophy.
Open to the BSU community and the public. Refreshments will
be served.
