Abstract
This themed issue of Alternation explores how and why academics from multiple knowledge fields in South Africa and the United States of America (USA) position themselves vis-à-vis social cohesion in their everyday lives and educational practices. The articles highlight diverse, innovative modes and lenses for representing, interpreting, and theorising academics’ lived experiences in response to pressing social cohesion-related challenges and dilemmas in higher education. Drawing on a range of research approaches, methods and data sources, the authors generate new and different knowledge on social cohesion and academic identities. Collectively, this issue opens up conversations about the possibilities and intricacies of facilitating complex, contradictory, and multiple understandings of social cohesiveness and academic selves.
