Tuesday, 20 November 2018, 4:30 p.m. Location: B/S/104 Treehouse, Humanities Research Centre, Berrick Saul Building 

 

Dr. Mandisa Malinga is a lecturer in the Department of Psychology at the University of Cape Town, South Africa. She completed her PhD at the University of South Africa, during which she held a split-site Commonwealth doctoral scholarship and spent twelve months (2014/2015) at the University of York’s Centre for Women’s Studies. Mandisa’s PhD research project titled ‘Precarious employment and fathering practices among African men’ explored constructions of fatherhood and masculinities among men who look for work on the side of the road in South Africa and how this type of work (seeking) behaviour impacts on their roles as fathers. Her research interests include masculinities, fatherhood, precarious labour, and identity studies.
