Speaker: Alude Mahali
Discussant: Thabiso Radebe

Topic: Come join us as we screen the student-centred documentary film, Ready or Not! Black Students’ Experiences of South African Universities. The film is the product of the key findings of a larger study titled Race, Education and Emancipation: a five-year longitudinal, qualitative study of agency and impasses to success amongst higher education students in eight South African universities – a collaboration between the HSRC, the CCRRI and UKZN that took place over 5 years between 2013 and 2017. Ready or Not! Black Students' Experiences of South African Universities is a short film offering a snapshot of students' structural and personal obstacles experienced in university. The stories told in the film provide a living, breathing understanding of what it means to go through the South African university system of accessing, starting, staying, passing, stopping, swapping, returning, finishing, graduating and working.
