Abstract
At a recent HSRC seminar entitled A slightly irreverent guide to surviving your PhD, a member of the audience wanted to know: what is the value of a PhD? Safiyya Goga considers a possible answer to this astutely-posed question that cuts to the heart of a bigger question about the role and value of research within the humanities and social sciences (HSS), particularly in present-day South Africa.-
