Hanneke Stuit is a PhD candidate at the University of Amsterdam and affiliated to the department of Literary Studies and the Amsterdam School of Cultural Analysis (ASCA). She received her master's degree in Literary Studies from the same university in 2007. Her research deals with the concept of ubuntu and the ways in which it relates to other (predominantly Western) concepts of communality and intersubjective relations. Her work is oriented mostly towards the interaction between ubuntu as a concept and cultural expressions, like novels, poetry and photography. She also writes on the representation of ubuntu in the process of truth and reconciliation initiated after the end of apartheid.
