Shepherd Mpofu is Associate Professor of Media and Communication at the University of South Africa. He has published several articles on communication, media, and journalism in Africa. His body of work covers social media and politics, social media and identity, and social media and protests. He is the editor of The Politics of Laughter in the Social Media Age: Perspectives From the Global South (Palgrave Macmillan 2021) and Digital Humour in the COVID-19 Pandemic: Perspectives From the Global South (Palgrave Macmillan 2021) and co-editor of Mediating Xenophobia in Africa (Palgrave 2020).
Kezia Batisai is Professor of Sociology at the University of Johannesburg who holds a PhD in Gender Studies from the University of Cape Town. Kezia has written several journal articles, book chapters, technical reports, and opinion pieces that expand her theory of marginality. The published work questions notions of marginality and the meaning of being different that expose the politics of nation-building in Africa. Kezia’s work articulates these notions of marginality through an interdisciplinary approach to gender, sexuality, health, and migration studies, and interrogates how people marked by society as “the minority” (based on intersecting positionalities) negotiate being different within various hierarchised zones of the everyday. Kezia is an active member of the International Sociological Association; South African Association for Gender Studies; South African Sociological Association; and the Research Network Law, Gender, and Sexuality (LEX) International Steering Committee.
