Tammy-Lee Lakay is a doctoral candidate at the University of the Western Cape. As an emerging “pracademic”, her work focuses on liberation archives, feminist histories and radical pedagogy in South Africa. Her master’s and doctoral research have centred on the archives and legacy of the South African Committee for Higher Education (SACHED). As an archivist and researcher on the SACHED Archiving Project, she has contributed to revitalising a once-dormant collection through cataloguing, digitisation, oral history, and public-facing platforms and the conceptualisation and running of activist-archive workshops.
