Environmental protection using Indigenous knowledge (IK) methods and skills for sustainability: Case study in the Kavango East region
(University of Namibia, 2018) Sindano, Gerson; Utete, Christina N.; Ilukena, Alex M.
The analysis presented in this study draws from a theoretical framework that sees indigenous knowledge (IK) and discourse as important features of ethno–science publication in Namibia. The study aims to make a meaningful contribution to an ongoing debate about IK in Namibia and the world over; the use of IK in the construction of knowledge about ethno–science; analysis and exploration of IK. As such the study looks at the process of authenticating ethno – scientific argument, knowledge and skills, providing clear understanding of how IK is used to protect the environment
Mainstreaming multiple knowledge systems in the south-north collaboration for higher education
(University of Namibia, 2018) Shalyefu, Rakel Kavena; Cleghorn, Aile
This paper discusses the need for a shift in the role of South- North collaboration for higher education. To do so, it points to some persistent trends in the nature of South-North partnerships. Rather than being empirically-based, the aim of the paper is to spark critical discussion and new research, drawing from the authors’ collaborative experience over the last couple of years. Some suggestions for change in the field of higher education are offered.
