ABOUT THE JOURNAL
The Journal for Transdisciplinary Research in Southern Africa is dedicated to promoting the concept of transdisciplinary research. It is aimed at creating knowledge with the collaboration of the formal sectors of the natural and human sciences as base. Over and above this, the intention is to focus on levels of knowledge that are to be found at grassroots level. View our Editorial Team.
