Doing Academia Differently
Vol. 7 No. 1 (2023)This special issue seeks to explore how to ‘do academia differently’ in the interests of justice in higher education. It takes account of theoretical frameworks, teaching methods, research practices, publishing norms, curricular content and the design of courses. The issue consists of nine articles which address different aspect of these areas from a range of disciplines – medical education, literature, visual arts, philosophy, the scholarship of teaching and learning in higher education – and from philosophical perspectives that concern humans in their entanglement with natural and technological worlds. The issue opens up a space for the dissemination of alternative ideas, legitimising experimentation for those who wish to do academia differently.

Beyond the pandemic: Lessons for the future of SOTL in the global South (part one)
Vol. 6 No. 1 (2022)The third biennial SOTL in the South Conference took place online between November 22 and 25, 2021. The theme of the conference was ‘Beyond the Pandemic: Lessons for the Future of SOTL in the Global South’. This theme was in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which raised fundamental and urgent questions for the scholarship of teaching and learning. This special issue of the SOTL in the South journal addresses the question of how the challenges associated with academic life in lockdown and the transition to online teaching and learning have been experienced by students, lecturers, support staff, and academic managers in institutions and across society more broadly. The issue features six peer-reviewed contributions and one reflective piece. This is the first part of what will be a two-part special issue. In this first part, the lens offered privileges the perspective of university management, lecturers, academic advisors, doctoral supervisors, and tutors. The second part of the special issue, to be published in a few months’ time, will place greater focus on student perspectives in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

SOTL in the South (special issue)
Vol. 2 No. 1 (2018)The inaugural SOTL in the South Conference held in Johannesburg, South Africa, in July 2017 coincided with the launch of this journal. The conference provided the occasion for this second, special issue of SOTL in the South, which includes a selection of papers submitted for publication after being double-blind peer-reviewed. The inimitable force behind both this journal and the conference was our editor-in-chief, Professor Brenda Leibowitz. Sadly, Brenda passed away on April 26, 2018, just a day after this issue was initially published online.
Brenda was a force for good in higher education, and in her work, she sought out a higher education space that was more caring of its participants: students and teachers alike. Her efforts were aimed at supporting academics – particularly young academics – to engage in scholarly teaching practice, and these efforts are reflected in some of the papers that appear in this issue. Brenda was a friend, colleague, supervisor and mentor to all of us involved in SOTL in the South, and to many others. It is with deep sorrow but also gratitude and pride that we dedicate this special issue to her.
