1. The Labyrinth of the Minotaur in "post"-apartheid South Africa: Wrestling with the ghost of a bull -- 2. Decolonising the South African higher education system -- 3. Theorising a biographic visual-narrative decolonising methodology of (non)being (space), (not)becoming (power) and (no)belonging (knowledge) -- 4. The lived lives and told storymazes of a group of young Black South African women in STEM fields -- 5. Pathway A. The discursive-circulatory system of (non)being a science person: The lived social life of institutional culture -- 6. Pathway B. The storied-nervous system of (not)becoming modern scientists: The told psychic life of pedagogy -- 7. Pathway C-entre. The narrative-respiratory system of (no)belonging to knowledge communities: The collective psychosocial life of social scientific research -- 8. Towards a complex-reproductive system of (re)pairing being, becoming and belonging to knowledge communities in South Africa -- 9. The Toroidal-maze of Tragic Love in Motion (TOTIM): Proposing a complex systems programme model for translating theoretical pathways into social praxis.

This book proposes a conceptual-empirical framework for exploring forms of continuity and change along psychosocial pathways in South African universities. It illustrates how the psychosocial pathways are grounded in the symbolic narratives and knowledges of young scientists, engineers and architects - all interlocutors in the research from which this book is based. Alala, Mamoratwa, Welile, Odirile, Kaiya, Amirah, Takalani, Nosakhele, Naila, Ambani, Khanyisile, Itumeleng, Ethwasa and Kgnaya provide collective standpoints in the multiplicities within and between the lived lives and told stories of young Black South African women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields. In doing so, this compelling work advances possibilities for demythologising scientific endeavour as a white male achievement and shifting knowledge communities across gendered, racialised, class and national divides. This book presents an innovative narrative methodology, utilising the myth of the Minotaur to examine the state of the university at the heart of the hierarchical labyrinth in "post"-apartheid South Africa. Throughout the work the author wrestles with and self-reflexively highlights her own positionality as a white, middle-class South African woman to examine how this affects the production of this research in ways which serve to preserve the colonial knowledge system. With the rise of the Rhodes Must Fall and Fees Must Fall student movement in South Africa, demanding for the fall of institutionalised racial hierarchies, the author uses the cover image of narrative formations in the spirit of exploration to think with and through undulating networked forms that could possibly forge new psychosocial pathways towards decolonising and reinventing South African universities. This work offers a unique conceptual and methodological resource for students and scholars of psychosocial and narrative theory, as well as those who are concerned about the politics of higher education, both in South Africa and in other contexts around the world. Sabrina Liccardo is a lecturer in the Department of Psychology at the University of Pretoria. Her primary interest is in developing visual arts-based, community-engaged and experimental qualitative (narrative) methodologies that explore the material, discursive and symbolic practices of psychosocial reproduction and transformation in higher education institutions in South Africa.
