Ms Marelize Marx
Ms Marelize Marx, another recipient of the Erasmus Mundus Scholarship Programme, is currently enrolled for a PhD in Education.
The topic of her thesis is: The transformative potential of dance education in South African schools. Ms Marx joined Masaryk University
in Brno in August 2011 and returned to South Africa at the end of April 2012. During her stay in Brno, she enrolled for a research
methodology course presented by Dr Nadya Jaworski. This helped her to gain a deeper understanding of research methodologies
and enabled her to conceptualise her own methodology. She also enrolled for courses in Cultural Sociology and Phenomenology.
Her collaboration with Dr Vasetcka enabled her to get more clarity on a theoretical framework for her study. During her stay at Masaryk
University, she attended an international conference on identity and also submitted an abstract for a forthcoming conference in Israel
on Cultural Sustainability, Social Cohesion and Global Education. The paper that she intends to present is based on her doctoral research.
