?肆客足球 our research
Research is one of the three pillars of academia. Teaching and social impact are impossible without research. To this end academic staff at the
Department of Afrikaans and Dutch are involved in all sorts of research projects. View individual research profiles by visiting the page for our academic staff. And every two years our postgraduate students showcase their research at
USAN.
