Open Access has emerged as an opportunity for wider and unlimited access to, and dissemination of scholarly literature. In his thesis entitled AN ANALYSIS OF OPEN ACCESS SCHOLARLY COMMUNICATION IN TANZANIAN PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES, Frankwell Wilson Dulle investigates factors that affect the adoption of Open Access in research activities within Tanzanian public universities in order to devise mechanisms for enhancing the use of this mode of scholarly communication. Finding positive perceptions among researchers and policy makers but negative facilitating conditions, he develops an Open Access adoption model for implementation in Tanzanian public universities.

Jenny Hatton's Biography

“What South African English books can you read with your Senior Phase Additional Language learners?” – Jenny Hatton.
This workshop will offer the opportunity to talk to other teachers about novels they are reading in English classrooms. The focus will be on a number of questions such as: How much has changed since the new curriculum was introduced? Are readers more current and local? Which novels work with learners and why? What other South African fiction could you read with your grade 7, 8 or 9 learners? Participants will go away with a bibliography and some practical suggestions on how to use readers in the classroom.

Jenny Hatton was a teacher, Head of Department, Media Advisor with the ex-TED, First Education Specialist and then Deputy Chief Education Specialist with the Gauteng Department of Education before leaving to freelance in 2000. She began writing while working for the Education Department and as a consultant to the Gauteng Institute of Education Development. Since then she has been involved in writing, editing, compiling and project managing as well as training. Her work has been published by a number of organisations and publishers including Jacana Media, Heinemann and Macmillan. Her English textbooks include the Expressions Grades 10-12 and All Aboard Grades 7-9 series. In 2007 she started a branch of the South African chapter of the international Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators in Gauteng.

Marita de Sterck's Biography

All over the world folktales are told in which girls become women. Young heroines survive outside and inside lightning and thunder, earthquakes and floods,... In spite of bodily harms, jealous kin, animal suitors,... changing women emerge, alive and kicking, rooted in firm female flesh after their second birth in rituals and stories. For the last 25 years Marita de Sterck has recorded folktales in South-Africa (Sepedi and Griqua) the Amazon Forest, Navajo reservation, Trinidad, Surinam, Alentejo-Portugal, South-Algeria and in Congolese, Indian, Moroccan and Roumanian families in Belgium. She imported ancestral stories and ‘stories from afar’ in classrooms in the Low Countries and composed an anthology with 60 folktales from all over the world that could make a woman out of a girl: Bleeding Beauties. The book appeared in 2 editions: one for adults and one for youngsters from about 12 years on. Title and cover of the juvenile edition are more concrete but the inside is exactly the same. How cruel, aggressive and erotic some of the folktales are, not a single word was changed. Included are a great diversity of folktales that could promote growth in a methaphorical, subliminal, implicit way, leaving interpretations to the young adults. This intergenerational cross-cultural anthology invites grandmothers, mothers and daughters, and grandfathers, fathers and sons as well on a worldwide narrative expedition on womanhood. In her keynote lecture Marita de Sterck will invite you to fasten your seatbelt and come along. She will discuss the mixed blessings of retelling folktales on paper. Can there be a substitute for the unique experience of actually listening to a storyteller?


Marita de Sterck (°1955) studied languages and communication sciences at the University of Ghent and Anthropology at the University of Leuven. She teaches literature, children’s literature and anthropology at the school for librarians in Ghent. She has published picture books, fiction and non-fiction for children and young adult novels. There is a direct line between her research about initiation rituals and her recent novels for young adults: Bad Blood (Book Lion; Silver Kiss Award); The Dog Eaters (Golden Owl Public Award).
In 2009 she made a graphic novel out of an animal bridegroom story of the Ticuna Indians, Boto, and in 2010 she published her collection with 60 oral folktales that could make a woman out of a girl: Bleeding beauties.
