Introduction to Azeem BadroodienDr Azeem Badroodien is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Education Policy Studies

within the Faculty of Education, University of Stellenbosch where he specialises in teaching

and research on the sociology and history of education. Until December 2007 Azeem was a

Lecturer/Assistant Professor within the UNESCO Centre for Comparative Education

Research (UCCER) within the School of Education, University of Nottingham, United

Kingdom. He holds a PhD from the University of the Western Cape, with dissertation topic A

History of the Ottery School of Industries in Cape Town: Issues of Race, Welfare and Social

Control in the period 1937-1968. Dr. Badroodien previously worked for the Human Sciences

Research Council (South Africa) between 2000 and 2005 (for 5 years) where he held the

position of Chief Research Specialist.

A key focus of Azeem’s research work has been on the links between further education and

training policy (and practice) and the workplace, both at the empirical data level and within

the underpinning theoretical discourse of education, work and skills development. His

interests in the domains of FET and the workplace are also shaped by interests on how social

inclusion/exclusion and identity/social issues influence policy-making, institutional

development and capacity-building in the two domains. He has engaged with this work both

within the university academic setting and as part of consultancy projects where funding

determined the particular focus of issues and themes.

Azeem’s main research work however has been his research on youth socialisation in

residential settings in South Africa, unpacking the links between vocational education,

poverty, social welfare and crime. He has engaged with this focus both within his own

academic domain and as part of a research focus within the HSRC, when he was attached to

the Child, Youth and Family Development unit. He has worked with the Departments of

Social Development as well as with Correctional Services and also the Umsombumvu Youth

Fund around policy and research projects in this regard. As the key focus of his conceptual

thinking with regard to these areas of research, Azeem has developed (and continues to

develop) life histories for informants (living as seniors in Cape Town) but institutionalised as

youths (when between 12-18 yrs old) in a correctional education institution under apartheid.

Azeem shows in this work how apartheid and geographical/social/identity issues impacted on

the ways in which the lives of informants were shaped after institutionalisation and how the

informants went about engaging with everyday living. One fascinating aspect of the research

is how the issues of race and class were lived in the period 1950-1970. While all informants

were labelled as coloured and regarded as part of the working underclass under apartheid, it

was found that a number of them were in fact African, Afrikaner, and Indian and that because

of their institutionalisation spent the rest of their lives being defined as coloured.

The above experiences and foci serve to inform the type of research that Azeem Badroodien has undertaken and seeks to further explore, as well as the kinds of research proposals that he is able to target towards funding. This led to him being awarded a prestigious Blue Skies Grant from the NRF in 2009.

His current research project is a three-year NRF-funded Blue Skies Grant that explores how the learning experiences of young people that attended a defined facility animated the meaning they made about their individual social contexts, geographical locations, social roles and individual life trajectories. A key concern of the project is to give analytical weight to the role of agency both within institutional practices and identity development processes among young people in educational settings. As France (2007:38) notes, without knowing more about the everyday lives and decisions of ordinary youth, about their private lives, their relationships (even their sexuality), their relationship with employment, unemployment and leisure (and their various levels of agency), there is very little basis for any claims about how they learn, what they learn, and what they need to learn to lead successful adult lives. The project seeks to develop deeper insights into notions of learning, life, and work in marginalized communities in South Africa, as well as the role of education in assisting learners navigate their lives.

Having both worked as a senior researcher within a government parastatal/agency (HSRC) for

five years where the need to conduct research and to write rests importantly on securing

outside funding, as well as within UK and South African university settings where such

interactions (of research and funding) have become the norm, Azeem has a keen sense of the

kind of balance required in contemporary academic settings. This involves developing

coherence between teaching, conducting research, and undertaking outside funded work.

Azeem also has a firm sense of the world outside ‘normal’ academia. After graduating and

practicing as an educator in the late 1980s, Azeem worked for over ten years in the small

business sector as a bakery manager. It was during this period that he enrolled at UWC for his

post-graduate and doctoral studies programme and when he first got involved in working with

young boys institutionalised in state care facilities.

He has since 1994 tutored and partaken in the teaching of history of education and ‘education

and change’ courses at the University of the Western Cape, served as a research fellow at the

Centre for African Studies at the University of Cape Town for three years, completed a post-

doctoral fellowship under Professor Martin Hall at the University of Cape Town in 2001,

worked as a senior staff member at the HSRC for 5 years, and completed two years of

teaching within a permanent post at the University of Nottingham. As part of his employment

contract with the University of Nottingham Azeem also taught in Hong Kong for 8 weeks a

year, as well as on a pilot Masters programme for practitioners working at the UNESCO

Institute for International Education Policy (IIEP) based in Paris. Azeem joined Stellenbosch

University in January 2008.
