Safiyya Goga is a lecturer in Political Science in the Department. She worked as a social science researcher at the Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC) in Pretoria for three and a half years. The research projects she worked on exposed her to the challenges and pitfalls of producing 'research for policy', and the difficulties inherent in the realization of pro-poor policy-making and implementation. Safiyya has an ardent interest in the 'post-apartheid condition', particularly the challenges we face in shifting the national discourse in order to foster deeper, more critical understandings of how the past continues to shape the present. She is a PhD candidate at Stellenbosch University and her thesis explores the intersections of race/class/religiosity in the ongoing negotiation of post-apartheid subjectivities in Johannesburg. Safiyya currently teaches Political Theory at a first year and Honours level.
