Journal of Student Affairs in Africa (JSAA),<\/strong>
\nVol. 6 (2018):<\/strong>
\n\u201cSpace, language and identity politics in<\/strong>
\n21st century higher education\u201d<\/strong>
\nGuest editor: Philippa Tumubweinee<\/strong><\/p>\n

As a way of introducing the theme to be tackled in a 2018 guest-edited issue of the Journal
\nof Student Affairs in Africa, it is worthwhile to pose a question, albeit a rhetorical one: Why
\nwould a journal dedicated to theoretical, practice-relevant, and reflective contributions
\nfrom across the scholarly and professional field of Student Affairs entertain a special edition
\non space, language and identity politics in higher education?<\/p>\n

The short answer would be: everything. The long answer to this question, however, is
\nto be found in an exposition by Benedict Anderson in Imagined Communities (2006). In
\nAnderson\u2019s view, style has the potential of producing further assumptions about space and
\ntime. \u2018Style\u2019 in this case would refer to JSAA which, in the Student Affairs terrain and
\ndiscourses in Africa, has provided the intellectual and technical means for representing
\nthe kind of imagined community that is the Student Affairs fraternity on the continent \u2013
\na fraternity which comes with its largesse and baggage in the form of the scope of JSAA.<\/p>\n

It is instructive that the \u2018representation\u2019 under reference occurs primarily through the
\nmedium of a code i.e. language. In the imagined community created by JSAA \u2013 which
\nexistentially approximates the Student Affairs terrain in Africa and even beyond \u2013 the
\nmultitude of actors are nonetheless bounded by space and time. They are connected by the
\nsame encircled, fixed landscape within which they all simultaneously exist. In following this
\nlogic through, the commonalities of code and simultaneities of space and time exemplified
\nby JSAA are at the heart of the ways in which actors in the Student Affairs fraternity on
\nthe continent, and possibly beyond, consider themselves part of a community, and therefore
\nstrive to build an identity informed by the fraternity\u2019s imaginary.<\/p>\n

By design therefore, this guest-edited issue will address itself to the politics of space,
\nlanguage and identity in higher education, in Africa and globally. The contributions in
\nthe guest-edited issue will singularly and collectively grapple with the nuances attendant to
\nthe intersections amongst space, language and identity in higher education.<\/p>\n

Key topics to be pursued in this issue include:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2022 Higher education spaces and the politics of space in higher education
\n\u2022 Space and identity, symbols and signs in the post-colonial university
\n\u2022 Politics of identity: student protests, language, institutional culture<\/p>\n

\u2022 Institutional policies and their impact on (the politics of) practice (e.g. language
\npolicies)
\n\u2022 Social cohesion, diversity and citizenship
\n\u2022 Intersections of language, curriculum, educational access and transformation
\n\u2022 Curriculum, decolonisation, and epistemic injustices | freedoms
\n\u2022 Student experience, student identity, and student politics of diverse student groups
\n(e.g. LGBTIQ+ students).<\/p>\n
