Navorser met onlangse B-gradering jaag nuwe probleme oor antieke kulture na
Prof Jaco Gericke het nie ’n ortodokse benadering tot navorsing op sy gebied, antieke kultuur, nie, en in ’n sekere sin het dit soms al teen hom getel. Die gety het egter gedraai, en die feit dat sy werk nie in die hoofstroom van vakkundigheid is nie, kan as ’n voordeel beskou word. Dit het daartoe gelei dat die Nasionale Navorsingstigting (NNS)…http://news.nwu.ac.za/newly-b-rated-researcher-pursues-new-problems-ancient-culture
Newly B-rated researcher pursues new problems on ancient culture
Prof Jaco Gericke does not take an orthodox approach to research in his field, ancient culture, and in a sense that has sometimes counted against him. However, the tide has turned, and the fact that his work is not in the mainstream of scholarship may have proved to be an advantage. It led to the National Research Foundation (NRF) awarding a…http://news.nwu.ac.za/af/wagtye-gesondheidsorg-kom-onder-die-loep
