Abstract:
Dr Annie Devenish is a historian and researcher with interest in gender, activism and identity in the global South, and how practices of history can be harnessed to transform society. She teaches in the Department of History at the University of the Witwatersrand. She has taught modules such as The History of Sex, Gender and History, Empires of the Modern World and Themes in Twentieth-Century History, among others. On top of reading some of Annie’s work, I also managed to have an interesting conversation with her about her teaching and broader intellectual project.
