NWU anthropologist highlights 5 practical steps towards inclusive ecology studies
We live in a vast world of knowledge and yet many scientific fields predominantly emphasise the contributions of Western knowledge.

Annemie Bester
Dit is ’n weeksdag. Die oggenddou begin verdwyn en Johannesburg is nog half aan die slaap. Die relatiewe kalmte bring ʼn lafenis voordat die dag se storm losbars. Geen kalmte egter vir Annemie Bester nie. Waar sy by Emirates Airline Park – oftewel Ellis Park in volksmond – indraai, wil sy op geen ander plek wees nie.

Annemie Bester
It is a weekday. The morning dew is melting and Johannesburg is still half asleep. The relative calm is peaceful before the storm of the day hits. However, no calm for Annemie Bester. Where she turns into Emirates Airline Park – still called Ellis Park by the fans – she does not want to be anywhere else. What lies ahead is scrumming, mauls,…http://news.nwu.ac.za/af/nwu-eagles-haal-halfeindstryd-van-varsitybeker

Dit was die tweede keer in minder as ʼn…http://news.nwu.ac.za/nwu-eagles-varsity-cup-semi-final

Kriptogeldeenhede: ’n suksesverhaal?
Dit wil voorkom of die wêreld van bitcoin hier is om te bly, ten spyte van talle voorspellings dat dit enige oomblik in duie gaan stort. Elon Musk het oor die naweek beweer dat met ’n keuse tussen kriptogeldeenhede en fiatgeldeenhede soos die dollar, euro en die jen, sy voorkeur vir eersgenoemde is.
