# University of the Free State senior lecturer, doctor Tlou Raphela-Masuku, has been selected to participate in the prestigious British Academy-funded International Writing Workshop on Climate Change Adaptation. She is one of only 15 early-career researchers from Southern and Eastern Africa selected. Raphela-Masuku is focused on climate-induced vulnerabilities and resilience, particularly in rural and peri-urban communities. She says her participation in the workshop directly supports the university’s Disaster Management Training and Education Centre for Africa’s mission to build climate resilience and disaster preparedness across Africa.
