Lizanne Thornton

I am a born and bred Capetonian. Learning about the stories which shaped Cape Town, I understand and appreciate the uniqueness of the space I call home. After years of secular employment, several epiphanies resulted in me finally acquiescing to picking up my formal education by enrolling for a Bachelor of Arts degree at the University of Cape Town. My passion for language and culture studies led me to my current postgraduate research on Afrikaaps through a gendered lens. When I am not shackled to my desk or captivated by yet another arresting author, I enjoy walking the mountains, listening to Cape Jazz, and spending time with family and friends.
