Ruth Kolevsohn's article,
Civil Society Has a Key Role in Fighting Corruption, which appeared in
Africa in Fact (pages 61-63), highlights the transformative impact of grassroots movements and civil society organisations in addressing corruption across Africa.

As a PhD Psychology candidate at the University of Pretoria under the supervision of Dr Jarred Martin, Ruth's current (and second) doctoral study will build on her first by exploring how cultural narratives and grassroots advocacy shape perceptions of anti-corruption advocacy and participatory governance.
