Nosiphiwo Matiwane

I’m highly analytical, meticulous, personable, adaptable, possess a critical lens, and I’m passionate about education as a tool to help young people become change agents in their communities. I am a fellow of Ubuntu Dialogues, which is a collaboration between Stellenbosch University and MSU in producing dynamic sites for the co-creation and dissemination of knowledge and practice through local and international dialogues.​ 

I have over 6 years of experience working in higher education, as a teaching assistant, programme administrator, learning designer, learning technologist, course coordinator, facilitator, and programme coordinator. I conceptualise, develop, and coordinate learning and leadership programmes that foster student leadership development and active citizenship within the higher education landscape. My research interests include but are not limited to museum studies (visual and discursive framings of anthropological exhibitions), Black feminist praxis, and the propagation of university apartheid in universities.

I hold a BA degree in Development & Environment, a Social Anthropology Honours degree (cum laude), and I'm currently a final year master's research student in Social Anthropology at Stellenbosch University.
