Abstract
In this article, the authors situate and make an argument for a humanising pedagogy in response to the
legacy of a dehumanising past in South Africa. They describe the inquiry into a humanising pedagogy by
means of mining stories of living and learning in South Africa. The authors explain how the meanings and
praxis of a humanising pedagogy unfold as the story of the work unfolds. One result of the work has been a
working collection of “Statements of awareness” that are authentic and significant, though still evolving,
which frame a humanising pedagogy.
