“…The data showed that many staff felt bullied, while others were still dealing with the trauma experienced during the 2015-2017 student protests and suffered from depression and anxiety as a result. This decrease in emotional wellbeing resonates with the alarming global trend, which shows that staff in higher education, worldwide, are experiencing concerns regarding their overall wellbeing and, therefore, the university needs to provide meaningful and effective wellness programmes for staff (Egan, 2021). Transparency in recruitment, development and advancement processes were also highlighted as a concern.…”

We live in a South Africa defined by deep inequalities. The post-apartheid promise of free and quality education is met by the realities of lasting disparities related to race, gender, socioeconomic class and disability, among other factors. The University of Cape Town (UCT) has initiated two interdependent processes to chart and track transformation, inclusion and diversity during these turbulent times. First, the university has set up an Inclusivity Survey, using a validated scale to understand staff experiences in relation to inclusion. Secondly, the university has identified and piloted a set of Transformation Benchmarks inspired by a higher education barometer for transformation in South Africa and global diversity and inclusion standards, which encourages transformation agents to take concrete actions to further transformation. Both these processes, first implemented in 2019, experimented with new ways of tracing the shape of transformation, inclusion and diversity at UCT. The paper will explore the opportunities and limitations these structured approaches to transformation offer to higher education institutions. For example, while structured approaches are useful, some argue that these reduce the complexity of social struggles (like those against racism) to simple box-ticking exercises. In unpacking these issues, the paper seeks to ask: how can we better monitor, evaluate and track progress in an increasingly turbulent world?

“…The field of psychology has a clear foundation for providing individual counselling both within and beyond the university sector. However, there is consensus that a broad mental health approach is required that addresses systemic and individual prevention of problems by removing structural barriers, alongside programs that support flourishing, resilience, and agency [15,16]. As outlined in the 2020 Australian University Mental Health Framework [17], an overarching focus on collaborating with students in the co-design and planning of inclusive mental health services, involving peer-support initiatives and emphasising the student experience to support healthy learning environments is needed.…”

Lockdowns were a central strategy for managing the outbreak of COVID-19, and Melbourne, Australia had some of the most extensive restrictions globally during 2021. As a result, university students were faced with isolated living and challenging learning experiences. This pilot study occurred during 2021, close to both university assignment due dates and end of semester examinations and some of the longest lockdowns. Seventy-one participants responded to recruitment materials describing using music playlists to manage anxiety and avoid negative thinking patterns during stressful times. They then participated in a 1-hour live, virtual workshop incorporating didactic teaching and practice activities. Pre and post measures of musical engagement, wellbeing and anxiety were used, with additional qualitative data collected at post regarding the workshop, application of ideas, and quantitative data measuring uses of music for emotion regulation. Analysis of quantitative data did not reveal significant findings, but convergent analysis suggested patterns linking degree of anxiety with changed uses of music for regulation for some individuals. Participants described more intentional and informed uses of music that were less repetitive and more targeted. This was particularly apparent when rumination appeared to be prominent. Based on the results, the intervention seems most helpful as a psycho-educational tool, but the 1-hour workshop did not result in measurable changes for highly anxious participants.
