Queering Transformation in Higher Education addresses the silencing of ‘queer’ issues in higher education. Using queer theory as a framework, and drawing on current literature, popular media reports, two personal critical incidents and a project addressing homophobia in educational institutions, Dr. Msibi explores the concerning nature and pervasiveness of homophobia in South African higher education institutions and argue for the adoption of a queer approach towards transformation.
Dr. Thabo Msibi is Associate Professor, Dean, and Head of School at
@university_of_kwazulu_natal
