Lwando Scott is a Next Generation Scholar at the Centre for Humanities Research (CHR) at the University of the Western Cape (UWC). Lwando’s work focuses on gender and sexuality in postcolonial and post-apartheid contexts.

Lwando’s work is interested in expansive definitions/formulations of Africanness.
