Hey everyone, I am Robin, and I am your tutor for this course. I am a 2nd year Master's student in Development Studies.

I am originally from the Netherlands, where I lived and studied all my life up until last year. I did my Bachelors in African Studies. I have spent some time in East Africa before I moved to Cape Town. I wanted to study Development Studies here to get a more critical and decolonial perspective on Development!

I hope to get you excited for sociology, as it is the base of everything in the humanities that you will be studying later on.

Some fun facts about me: I play rugby, and I speak Swahili pretty fluently!

Hi there, I am Zenobia

I am a born Capetonian, lived here all my life and I worked for Western Cape Education Department (WCED) since 2016 until last week, as a Care and Support Assistant (CSA) in an emotionally supporting capacity for learners.

I love working with people and the time has come for me now, to further my education, now that my children are older and don't need my attention AS MUCH. I am studying Bachelor of Social Work and I am extremely excited to be here.

I have two daughters and I am the grandmother of an adorable 3 year old boy who calls me Nannah and my eldest daughter is doing her 4th year Bachelor of Social Sciences at UCT this year. I know it's not a fun fact but I just thought that I'd share lol... yah... daughter is doing her final year and momma is starting her first lol 🤭😄🙈

I would love to gain a more practical interpretation of the work we study on a theoretical level in the lectures. It would also be a great opportunity to discuss views on the topics we study and as a result form a more well-rounded view.

I think an understanding of sociological thinking and reasoning are well paired with other disciplines in the humanities faculty. The reason may be because so much of what we do is directly correlated to the society we live in and structures, norms, institutions and expectations that the society have resulting in.
I am an aspiring psychologist and for me an understanding of the individual broadens when we take into account the bigger society that the individual forms part of and is influenced and shaped by.

"It's me, Sai, I'm the problem It's me" (there has to be one other Taylor Swift fan in this group)

My expectations is to learn and grow together as a group and to have a safe space to share and listen to each others ideas and I hope everyone is respectful of each other and understanding that we all come from different backgrounds and that we should celebrate our differences as it makes our thoughts and ideas different and more interesting.

My name is Dineo Mashilwane I am from Middleburg Mpumalanga. I am taking sociology because I thought that it will be great to take it because it’s about studying people and how they function in society and I thought that would be a good combination with psychology since it’s also one of my majors. An interesting fact about me is that I can make fart noises with my hands ;)
