What can or should higher education contribute to transformation and development by advancing the human well-being and agency of all students? How would our universities need to change to truly foster human development? 

These are the common questions cutting across the papers which will be presented at the International colloquium on ‘Researching well-being, agency and structural inequalities: comparative perspectives’. The University of the Free State’s (UFS) South African Research Chairs Initiative (SARChI) Chair in higher education and human development research programme led by Prof Melanie Walker will host the colloquium on 19 September 2018 at the Bloemfontein Campus.

The colloquium presents critical scholarship on development and also serves to celebrate the second five-year term of the SARChI Chair. The event has been structured to enable opportunities for early career researchers from the UFS to present their work alongside that of experienced scholars from the UK, US and South Africa, working on human development, development ethics and on education.

A two-day training workshop on human trafficking was recently presented on the Main Campus of the University of the Free State (UFS) in Bloemfontein. The workshop was presented by the International Organisation for Migration's (IOM) regional office for Africa, in co-operation with the Free State Network on Violence Against Women and the Unit for Children's Rights at the UFS. The objective of the workshop was to enhance understanding of the human trafficking phenomenon in South Africa amongst civil society organisations and the community at large. Other topics included the prevention of human trafficking, the protection of victims and the laws available to combat human trafficking. At the workshop were, from the left: Adv Beatri Kruger (Facilitator, Unit for Children's Rights at the UFS), Ms Mamello Mahasela (Facilitator: Free State Network on Violence Against Women, and Ms Samantha Donkin (IOM).
