Phakeng has joined the University of Bristol in the UK as the first Illustrious visiting professor to supercharge African scholarship, inspire learning and strengthen relationships on the global stage.
Phakeng said being appointed as the first Illustrious visiting professor at the University of Bristol was a great honour.
She said she believed that on a much wider scale the appointment would also strengthen the relationship between two great institutions of higher learning. The year-long appointment will feature a series of public lectures open to all online, and Phakeng will be officially welcomed by Prof Hugh Brady, Bristol’s vice-chancellor and president, and Prof Judith Squires, provost and deputy vice-chancellor next month.
