| dc.description.abstract | This study examines student activism and student protests that occurred at South African higher
education institutions (HEIs) during the academic years 2015 and 2016. These protests were
inspired by multiple grievances experienced by students at HEIs, which included protesting
against the maintenance and celebration of imperial symbols at universities as well as the
unaffordability of academic and residence fees. These protests were different to previous
student protests in that student discontentment and protests were popularised and advocated
through social media under Twitter hashtags such as #RhodesMustFall (RMF) and
#FeesMustFall (FMF). | en_US |
