Wits Centre for Diversity Studies

The Wits Centre for Diversity Studies (WiCDS) is an interdisciplinary postgraduate education and research centre, which aims to build capacity to meet the challenges of diverse societies.

The work of the Centre focusses on the construction of difference in conditions of unequal power relations, and how these constructions are reproduced and reframed, using the framework of Critical Diversity Literacy. 

WiCDS also undertakes public engagements and events which use a critical lens to explore issues of social injustice in contemporary societies. 

📌 We are based on the 13th floor of the University Corner, at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa.
