The Centre in a nutshell |
 |
Our objective as the Centre for Civil Society is to advance socio-economic and environmental justice by developing critical knowledge about, for and in dialogue with civil society through teaching, research and publishing. The Centre was established at the University of KwaZulu-Natal in July 2001, with the mission of promoting the study of South African civil society as a legitimate, flourishing area of scholarly activity. A related goal was to develop partnerships within civil society aimed at capacity-building, knowledge sharing, and generating reflection and debate. With an excellent start in these directions, we now also aim to work across the African continent and internationally. Our three core strategies are: independent critical scholarship (including provision of research grants); information dissemination; and teaching/training. Our staff and associates at UKZN’s Howard College campus are comprised of academics and research officers, administrators, visiting scholars, and doctoral and masters students. Our colleagues include more than 250 research grantees, Research Associates, community liaisons and other collaborators. More
