| Durban is South Africa's 3rd largest city and one of the most popular holiday attractions in the country |
The
theme of the conference is Higher Education Today: crises, contestations,
contemplations and futures. The aim is to interrogate the artificial dichotomy between teaching and research. I am sure all educators are interested to hear more
on these issues. Combine the interesting theme, the key note speakers who will
have us questioning our comfort zones I am sure, Durban (sun, sea, dolphins, hibiscus
flowers and the smell of curry) with the beautiful Elangeni hotel, and
the word conference takes on new and exciting meanings. I cannot wait.
