I am a History Master's Student at Stellenbosch University dedicated to uncovering how women navigate and resist power. I am fascinated by the history of femininity and political resistance; my academic journey has been fueled by how identity is 'fabricated' and maintained, whether through 1940s fashion or grassroots activism. I believe that history is best understood through the relationships we build with the past and each other. In my downtime, I’m likely hanging out with cats or enjoying a well-deserved sweet treat.

I'm a Master's student in History at Stellenbosch University where I investigate nature conservation that is different from 'traditional' conservation. I have a passion for conservation history and how conservation practices have worked and changed and how this could possibly inform future conservation. My work has focused on the importance of conservation, who deems it so and why. In my spare time I'm likely to be found outdoors or relishing in non-academic reading.

I am currently pursuing a Master’s degree in the History Department at Stellenbosch University, where I have set out to uncover and trace the taboo. I am drawn to the history of the Anthropocene through a focus on animal agency within past authoritarian spaces and belief systems. My work is rooted in the conviction that history’s value lies in confronting what is hidden and silenced in order to better understand how power is lived and resisted. Born and raised in the Western Cape, my free time includes exploring the great outdoors through scenic hikes, as well as enjoying the gift that keeps on giving: Cape Town’s food scene.

I am a History Master's student at Stellenbosch University with a passion for Southern African history. Along this broad spectrum from missionary women's history to environmental history focused on extinction and how we commemorate the past, the golden thread of telling the untold stories of the past sets my academic brain alight. Looking to the past allows an understanding and awareness of the present, which, I believe, is not simply a personal desire but a deep need in our current society. In my downtime you'd likely find me enjoying a good cappuccino with a friend, or on an adventure in nature somewhere (or in a good book which counts as adventure too).

I am a Stellenbosch Masters student conducting historical research through an environmental lens. I have grown up with horses and have developed a colossal interest in nutrition, veterinary history and feeding regimes. The History department at Stellenbosch University has allowed me to merge the love I have for horses with academic research. In this field of study, it is important to analyse the more-than-human history to uncover what has been lost in the contemporary equine world through knowledge production, both vernacular and scientific.When I am not researching, I’m usually at home in Noordhoek, on a beach ride with my horse - Tasco, or at a food market enjoying new experiences with my friends.

I am a third year masters student at Stellenbosch University studying the history of unique environments. My work is focused on the history of the environment in Southern Africa with an emphasis on the intersection between natural and/or unnatural aridity and politics. I find it important to look at history from a more-than-human perspective, it tells another side of the story. Outside of hitting the books I enjoy cooking up a storm and moody walks on the beach.
