08. Jul - 10. Jul
From 8 to 10 July 2025, Prof. Dr. Anél du Plessis (Stellenbosch University) will be offering a workshop at the Joachim-Herz-Promotionskolleg.
During the workshop, she will address the topic of 'Legal Research with the Global South', raising awareness among the participants of the importance of incorporating Global South perspectives into legal research projects. The workshop will include seminar-style sessions, group discussions, participant presentations and hybrid sessions with PhD colleagues from Stellenbosch University.
Professor du Plessis is an established researcher in the intersecting area of law, urban development, cities, human rights and environmental sustainability and served as the first incumbent of the NRF SARChI Chair in Cities, Law and Environmental Sustainability (CLES) at the North-West University (2018-2023). She joined the Faculty of Law at the University of Stellenbosch in 2023, where she holds the Chair in Urban Law and Sustainability Governance (link).
We are very much looking forward to this exciting opportunity to broaden our academic horizons, and to welcoming Professor du Plessis to our sunny campus.
