University of Cape Town vice-chancellor Prof Mamokgethi Phakeng’s outstanding work in mathematics education and her leadership have been recognised once more by one of the UK’s top universities.
Phakeng will take over the reins as the University of Bristol’s first illustrious visiting professor — a prestigious collaborative initiative that connects the UK university with esteemed global research leaders and academics.
On the university’s website Brady said the invitation recognises Phakeng’s “exceptional and inspirational” work in mathematics education and university leadership in post‑apartheid SA. Phakeng, who was awarded an honorary doctorate by the same university in 2019, is equally excited about the new opportunity.
