Rigour & Flow with Aiwan and TamandaOut of Time | Colonial Clocks, Capitalist Deadlines and the Fight to Move DifferentlyWhat if time wasn’t neutral? What if urgency was a trap? What if the clock, like so many systems, was never made with us in mind?We step outside grind culture to ask how time works, and who it works for. From production schedules to academic timelines, we explore how time shapes us, pressures us, and polices us as we navigate systems that demand constant productivity - and often without care or a proper sense of our contexts.Aiwan reflects on her journey as a filmmaker in extractive production environments, where tight tu...2025-06-031h 07

We crack open the money stories we inherited, and the ones we’re trying to rewrite.Aiwan shares how growing up in a fundamentalist church taught her that true faith meant living modestly, shunning wealth, and being "in the world, but not of it" - until later encounters with the prosperity gospel preached that material success was a sign of divine favour.

Health LawHuman heritable genome editing- Why context and culture matterIn this podcast episode, Professor Donrich Thaldar discusses the issue of heritable human genome editing with Dr Bonginkosi Shozi and Ms Tamanda Kamwendo.
Summary
The global discourse on heritable genome editing is dominated by Western perspectives. We argue for a broadening of this discourse, pointing out the significance of differences in culture and context between countries. These differences illustrate the need for approaches to the governance of heritable genome editing that are open to a variety of perspectives, a point we make with reference to South Africa. We warn that failing to account...2022-09-0612 min
