SUMMARY:Sustainability: an intersection of science and ideology
DESCRIPTION:Future Africa (FA) at the University of Pretoria (UP) cordially invites you to a lecture by Professor Maano Ramutsindela\, UP-UCT Future Africa Research Chair in Sustainability Transformations. \nDate: Thursday\, 3 April 2025 \nTime: 12:00 to 14:00 SAST \nLocation: Future Africa\, Hillcrest Campus\, University of Pretoria & Online (hybrid event) \nEnquiries: Email Clarietta Chagwiza at clarietta.chagwiza@futureafrica.science \nRSVP by Monday\, 31 March 2025 \nREGISTER HERE\n \nAbout the Lecture \n\n\nThe concept of sustainability has become a defining mantra of our time\, shaping global discourse\, influencing human behaviour\, guiding philanthropic actions\, and serving as a soft approach to addressing hard realities. This is largely due to sustainability drawing its strength from science\, while its ideological underpinnings often remain unnoticed. In this lecture\, Professor Ramutsindela will explore how science informs understandings of sustainability\, how the ideology of sustainability is reinforced by the belief that there is nothing ideological about sustainability as a concept and practice\, and highlight the implications of the intersection of sustainability and ideology for sustainability transformations in Africa. \n\nAbout Prof Maano Ramutsindela \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProfessor Maano Ramutsindela is the UP-UCT Future Africa Research Chair in Sustainability Transformations\, a joint initiative between the University of Pretoria and the University of Cape Town.
