- Description: From Foreword by Dr Sizwe Mabizela: Rhodes University offers its students, researchers, and collaborators a rich and distinctive intellectual space. One of its differentiators is that it is the only South African research intensive university situated in a rural area. Moreover, Rhodes University is located in an impoverished region bedevilled with high levels of poverty and unemployment. This relatively unique characteristic has significant implications for the way its mandate as a research-led institution is fulfilled, and will continue to be fulfilled in the future. The relatively unique context of Rhodes University is played out in the nexus of research, teaching and learning, and community engagement. Engaged research is a significant feature of our knowledge production, and we strive to make ourselves simultaneously locally responsive and globally connected. The award by the Talloires Global Network of Engaged Universities of the prestigious MacJannet Prize to Rhodes University’s Nine-Tenths Programme in 2021 was wonderful affirmation of our strategy to be locally impactful while also being globally influential.

- Description: From Foreword by Dr Sizwe Mabizela: This was a year like no other in living memory. Since March 2020, our institution has been operating under COVID-19 pandemic conditions, in various levels of lockdown, with a blend on-line and physical activities. Research-based postgraduate students were amongst the first to return in May 2020, as lockdown levels permitted, particularly those whose work was dependent upon access to physical resources of the campus.
