Prof Herman Wasserman recently visited the University of Erfurt, Germany, where he gave a keynote address at the annual conference of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Publizistik- und Kommunikationswissenschaft (Association for Media Studies and Communication Science). His keynote was titled “Visions of a good life from the Global South: towards an ethics of listening”. Prof Wasserman also participated on a panel at a preconference on “Internationalizing German Communication Studies: learning from the world”. The Department of Journalism at Stellenbosch University set up an exchange agreement with the University of Erfurt last year, which is aimed at facilitating staff and student exchanges and collaborations.
