About this publication
The International Journal of African Reflections (IJAR), which is housed at iYunivesithi Walter Sisulu, publishes multi-, inter- and transdisciplinary peer-reviewed articles that encourage and support researchers in all fields and disciplines, especially women, black, and young researchers, by providing a platform to publish their work to eventually obtain an NRF rating. The journal also intends to act as a facilitator to build a cohort of scholars from amongst the master’s doctoral and postdoctoral graduate students through the articles published in the journal. It is hoped that new epistemological ideas will emerge, which will contribute to improving the quality of teaching, research, and learning.
