The second instalment of the AAPS case study research and publication workshop series was held in Johannesburg from 28 April to 1 May 2010. This followed the widespread acclaim granted to the first workshop, held in Dar es Salaam in early February 2010.
The Johannesburg workshop proceedings were facilitated by Dr Fred Lerise (GTZ/Ardhi University) and Prof Jorgen Andreassen (Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts), with contributions by Prof Vanessa Watson (University of Cape Town) and Nancy Odendaal (AAPS Project Coordinator), amongst others.
Participants were drawn from South Africa, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Mozambique and Uganda. Overall, the workshop was considered a success and raised various issues and debates pertaining to the applicability and methodology of case research. Many participants expressed their satisfaction at having engaged with the principles underlying case research for the first time.
The workshop proceedings and outcomes will be posted to the AAPS website in due course… watch this space. Details of the next workshop, to be held in West Africa, will be figured out and advertised accordingly.
