The 12th issue of Curiosity, Wits University’s research magazine, is themed: #Solutions. Structural, political and socioeconomic challenges persist in South Africa. Yet the current zeitgeist also presents opportunities. Now is the time to galvanise our collective strengths towards finding #Solutions grounded in the values that we need to cherish as a society – excellence, the commitment to social justice, and the seeking of new knowledge to advance the public good. Produced by Wits Communications, Curios.ty is a print and digital magazine that tells the stories of pioneering research through the voices of the talented researchers, students and academics at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa.
