Let's work together throughout the research process


Decoloniality as praxis-oriented research method 101 in African and Asian contexts
Presenter: Prof. Xolile Simon

Time: 9:00 - 10:00

Decoloniality has been unfolding beyond academic settings in the everyday lives of African and Asian Indigenous communities, amidst persistent coloniality and neo-coloniality. The presentation prioritises the causal factors that can facilitate or inhibit the power of decoloniality as a practice and method within the contexts of Indigenous reality, knowledge, and emancipation. It argues that embodying decoloniality activates emergent causal factors (power mechanisms) of the body: hands and feet (agency), mind (reflexivity), and heart (spirituality). It illustrates, through contextual examples and texts, how and why the power mechanisms of the body can facilitate or inhibit processes and outcomes of deep transformation across domains of reality (the empirical, actual, and real) and social order (the biological, physical, and natural).

Impact of copyright and trademark use before, during and after the research process
Presenter: Carol Kat & Gert van Deventer

Time: 10:30 - 11:30

Copyright and trademark laws play a critical role throughout the research lifecycle—from the initial planning phase to the dissemination of final outputs. In conducting research, it is critical for scholars not to fall foul copyright laws. Proper permissions and licensing agreements must be secured to avoid infringement and ensure ethical use. This session will delve on how researchers can avoid infringing copyrights and trademark laws before, during and after the research process.

Literature reviews
Presenter: Kirchner van Deventer

Time: 10:00 - 11:00

A literature review is a survey of scholarly sources on a specific topic. It provides an overview of current knowledge, allowing you to identify relevant theories, methods, and gaps in the existing research. This workshop aims to provide researchers with an overview of how to efficiently structure and develop a literature review.

Participants will learn:

  • what a literature review is and the different types
  • what the literature review process is
  • about working with your topic to find relevant literature
  • examples of ways to structure your literature review
  • how to critically analyse literature

Systematic reviews/Evidence synthesis search strategies
Presenter: Yusuf Ras

Time: 14:00 - 15:30

Developing and Implementing a Search Strategy For Scoping and Systematic Reviews
Developing a search strategy for scoping and systematic reviews involves defining the research question, identifying key concepts, and translating them into appropriate search terms and strategies. This process includes identifying relevant databases, refining search terms, and adapting search strategies for different databases.

Using a screening tool for systematic and scoping reviews – Cadima
CADIMA is a free web tool facilitating the conduct and assuring of the documentation of systematic reviews, scoping reviews and further literature reviews.
