Training Programmes

The center offers tailor-made academic training programmes that provide grounding in theory and practice with particular interest in the field of gender studies and more so, men and masculinities. As a working group, CRIMM then (CRIMM RESEARCH CENTER LIMITED NOW) traces its origin in the South African informal working group entitled CRAP -critical researchers and practitioners at Stellenbosch University, Cape Town, department of Sociology and Social Anthropology.

As an intellectual platform, CRIMM RESEARCH CENTER provides a collective learning environment among gender practitioners through their reflections on everyday ways of experiencing, performing masculinities and femininities. CRIMM Participants are exposed to reading classical and foundational texts in humanities to enable them to attain wider conceptual and theoretical knowledge, learn how to read, comprehend, remember and write in formal and acceptable academic ways.
