Of ambivalence, shame and guilt: Perceptions regarding termination of pregnancy among South African women
The contentious issue of termination of pregnancy (TOP) is fraught with challenges given the diverse ethical dilemmas that exist within a given sociocultural context. This research study, drawn from a larger study of 102 women, focuses on the qualitative responses of 22 women from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds in Johannesburg, South Africa. Consensual qualitative research methods was used to analyse the transcripts of 22 women recruited from two socioeconomic sites, one serving women with limited economic resources and the other serving women with adequate resources. Semistructured interviews asked about reasons for undergoing a TOP and explored thoughts and feelings of the women before and after the procedure, as well as their experience of the process itself. The results are in keeping with the literature and show that ambivalence, shame and guilt as well as relief were common emotions felt by women who underwent a TOP, regardless of socioeconomic status. Service providers should be alert to these feelings and promote an environment of empathy, safety and security for the actual procedure. Longer-term studies are required to assess outcomes related to these immediate responses
Towards a Conceptual Framework for Interdisciplinary Teaching and Learning Dialogues in Higher Education
This paper explores the development and early validation of a conceptual framework for learning-centred teaching by six Teaching Advancement at Universities (TAU) Fellows and their mentor, each representing a different higher education institution and a different discipline. A grounded theory approach was used to construct the framework and its potential utility value was explored though the use of six teaching innovation projects conducted in undergraduate South African university programmes in law, medicine, education, and the arts. The project revealed that interdisciplinary dialogic spaces can be initiated and nurtured through opportunities offered by communities of practice such as the TAU Fellowship when academics suspend their exclusive disciplinary preoccupations to open up possibilities for a generative, emancipatory scholarship. We argue that the conceptual framework is useful to facilitate and promote dialogues across and between the multiple discipline specific ontologies, epistemologies and methodologies offered in higher education
