The ‘Reciprocal Learning in Times of Crisis’ monthly virtual colloquium series launched on October 7, 2020 with a talk by Associate Professor Nombuso Dlamini titled "e/Thinking and Acting Holistically in our Times: Discussions on Conceptual Multiplicity".

The talk examined the lenses that we use to give meaning to a sociopolitical and economic landscape marked by questions and uncertainties. Dlamini offered her thoughts at a time of the intersection of multiple contemporary crisis and challenges including: the global pandemic, COVID-19; the public lynching of black and indigenous people; demonstrations and protests against social injustices; national and domestic border policing; anti-immigrant sentiments; and much more.
