Changing Our World. For Good.
We live in a world characterised by global change and inequality, energy and water insecurity, inadequate healthcare and burdens of disease, unemployment and poverty, gender-based harm and xenophobia, and a lack of ethics and governance in society. These are just some of the complex planetary problems confronting society every day, many of which are exacerbated in Africa and the Global South. At the same time, Wits’ 103-year record of academic and research excellence, innovation, commitment to social justice and the advancement of society, and our locale in the Global South, places us in good stead to address some of these challenges, and others of which we are not yet aware.
