Abstract
INTRODUCTION: In this chapter we explore three related issues. Firstly, we briefly refer to some of the
legacies from South Africa’s colonial and apartheid past, especially as they pertain
to university curricula and student learning; secondly, we point to links between
critical citizenship and higher education curricula; and thirdly, we refer to a number
of relevant examples where critical citizenship education was recently introduced into
core curricula by a number of South African universities.
