Fellowship overview

The curriculum is divided into three modules that cover the subject areas of South African history, local and global politics, law, and current affairs, but there will be significant overlap between them. In each case the overall goal is to develop political awareness of global and local issues as required for effective leadership in social justice work, and as a result the content and assessment of each module will focus on social justice issues.
