Synopsis: This book explores the transformation of the South African higher education system 30 years after democracy. It examines the progress, tensions, and possibilities through a detailed analysis of how inclusion, curriculum transformation, and epistemological shifts have shaped—and continue to shape—South African higher education. The chapters draw on a range of theoretical frameworks, including decolonization, Africanization, and intersectionality. The book argues that while the South African higher education system has made significant strides in expanding access and fostering critical engagement, the journey toward full transformation remains an ongoing endeavor. The conclusions reached in the book suggest that deep inclusion, meaningful curriculum transformation, and epistemic justice require sustained institutional commitment, policy alignment, and active engagement with students, academics, and society at large.
