About Prof Linda Chisholm

Linda Chisholm is a Professor and a former special advisor to the Minister of Basic Education in South Africa, and before that a Director in the Education and Skills Development research unit at the Human Sciences Research Council, Professor and Chair of Education at the 欧美福利100000 of Natal (now KwaZulu-Natal) and Director of the Education Policy Unit at the 欧美福利100000 of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. She has worked closely with government on curriculum reform, has served on several journal editorial boards and is currently on the international advisory board of the Journal of Curriculum Studies.听 She has published widely on the historical, contemporary and comparative aspects of education policy and curriculum in South Africa and the region. Her most recent books include Between Worlds: German Missionaries and the Transition from Mission to Bantu Education (Wits Press, 2017) and Teacher Preparation in South Africa: History, Policy and Future Perspectives (Emerald Press, 2019).听听

鈥楳y research focus has straddled history and contemporary education and curriculum policy in South Africa and the region with an emphasis on the relationship between past, present and future. While I have retained a consistent interest in comparative and transnational education, post-colonial studies’ concerns with the complexities of local appropriations and adaptations, forms of hybridization, boundaries-crossings and -blurrings, interrelationships, entanglements and relationalities, have been at the centre of my work on learner-centred education in Africa, migration and education, textbook representations, curriculum and teacher education.鈥櫶�听
