British Academy’s Global Convening Programme
Aiming to Address Critical Global Issues and the Focus of the South African Project
The British Academy’s global convening programme is an innovative initiative that supports researchers worldwide in addressing critical global issues. Over a three-year period, the programme allows participants to engage in conversations with each other and consider these issues collectively. The programme focuses on diverse local sustainability struggles, such as land, cities, identities, and the imagination. Specifically, the South African project within the programme, led by Distinguished Professor Heila Lotz-Sisitka, explores the concept of “Time for Justice” and its role in the Just Transition in the Eastern Cape. This project examines how temporal frames and narratives define climate problems and solutions, how timing mechanisms prioritize and exclude different actors and ways of life, and how time is used as a form of invisible power. By increasing awareness and understanding of these timing mechanisms, the researchers aim to expand political and civic capacities, foster dialogue across difference, and promote a pluriversal politics.
