		<description>This podcast opens up cutting-edge research to the world. High-quality academic research drives human progress: shaping policy, sparking innovation, challenging assumptions, deepening our understanding of the world. Yet most stays hidden. When great research doesn’t reach people, we all lose. The Knowledge Hub South Africa brings serious, high-level research to wide audiences in clear, engaging, human language. Researchers explain discoveries, why they matter, and the stories behind the work. No jargon. No dilution. Just excellent scholarship, opened up and made accessible.</description>

		<link>https://iono.fm/e/1667872</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1667872</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[In this episode of The Knowledge Hub South Africa, host Professor Ignatius Gous speaks with Professor Thomas Lawson, Professor Emeritus at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo, Michigan, and the founding figure of the cognitive science of religion. Lawson completed his PhD in philosophy of religion at the University of Chicago in 1963, following graduate study across theology, philosophy, history of religions, and religion and personality. He spent the bulk of his career at Western Michigan University, with visiting appointments at Queen’s University Belfast and Masaryk University in Brno, Czech Republic. He co-authored the foundational 1990 text Rethinking Religion: Connecting Cognition and Culture with Robert N. McCauley, followed by Bringing Ritual to Mind: Psychological Foundations of Cultural Forms in 2002. His 2023 book Imagining the Cognitive Science of Religion charts the field’s future directions. His work drew together cognitive psychology, linguistics, evolutionary biology, and the philosophy of religion into a genuinely new scientific discipline. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In this episode of The Knowledge Hub South Africa, Professor Ignatius Gous speaks with Dr. Chris Heunis, CEO and founder of the Team Building Institute, known as TBI. Dr. Heunis holds a DPhil from the University of Pretoria in organisational development and built his career at the intersection of adventure, learning science, and human connection. He began as a physics teacher, completed doctoral research on adventure-related experiential learning, and in 1994 established TBI from a storeroom in his family home in Pretoria. Over three decades, TBI has grown into an internationally active organisation delivering programmes across Africa, the Americas, Europe, and the Middle East, often working with groups comprising more than ten nationalities at a time. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Entrepreneurship as a formal academic discipline began in Europe and the United States in the 1960s and 1970s. South Africa only introduced its first formal qualification in the field in the mid-1990s. That qualification, the National Diploma in Small Business Management, was developed by Prof Cecile Nieuwenhuizen at a Technikon in 1994. At the time, there were no local textbooks, no established curriculum and no template to follow. The gap had to be built from scratch.<br />
<br />
In conversation with Prof Ignatius Gous, Nieuwenhuizen explains that she &amp; her colleagues did not start in a library. They went out and interviewed successful South African entrepreneurs. They asked what those entrepreneurs wished they had known earlier. They listened to what was missing. The textbooks and qualifications that followed came directly from that fieldwork.<br />
<br />
That bottom-up approach shaped everything. The material was practical before it was theoretical. And it reached students who had never once considered starting their own business ]]></description>

		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1667878</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[Professor Erna Oliver of UNISA joins the Knowledge Hub South Africa to trace a career that moves from church historian and pastor to pioneer in educational technology. She shares her research on the four distinct phases of South African colonisation, the layered nature of Afrikaner spirituality, and her double triangle model for open distance learning. She also argues that six simultaneous revolutions are reshaping education and society, and that Toffler's 1970 prediction of mass bewilderment from rapid change has quietly come true. ]]></description>

		<title>The Future Is Already Uneven | Pieter Geldenhuys</title>
		<link>https://iono.fm/e/1667879</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1667879</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[In this episode of The Knowledge Hub, hosted by Prof Ignatius Gous, the guest is Pieter Geldenhuys, a futurist and technology expert. His approach is restrained. No grand forecasts. No certainty. Instead, structure.<br />
<br />
Geldenhuys frames the future through three interacting forces:<br />
<br />
Demographic megatrendsExponential technologiesComplex adaptive systems<br />
<br />
Each operates at a different tempo. Demography moves slowly. Technology scales rapidly. Complexity ensures that interactions between the two produce outcomes that are hard to predict.<br />
<br />
The result is not chaos. It is unevenness. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The two creators of the show Dr Eugene Botha and Prof Ignatius Gous of South Africa discuss the reasons why they felt compelled to create the podcast.<br />
<br />
Every day, researchers in South Africa and worldwide are solving problems that affect millions. They're developing new medical treatments, uncovering historical truths, innovating sustainable technologies, and understanding the complexities of human behavior. Yet their voices rarely reach beyond conference halls and academic journals.<br />
<br />
The Knowledge Hub South Africa gives these pioneering minds a global stage. Through expertly crafted episodes, complex research becomes accessible without losing its rigor.<br />
<br />
Hosted &amp; presented by Professor Ignatius Gous, Professor Emeritus – University of South Africa. Renowned scholar in the fields of Religion, Metacognition, Lifelong Learning&amp; Biblical studies. ⁠ignatius.gous@gmail.com⁠<br />
<br />
Dr Eugene Botha, Former Professor – University of South Africa, background in Greek, Hebrew, Latin, Classics, Linguistics, Religion, History, Social-scientific study of the Bible.
