This study examined the lived experience of black registrars (medical residents) in a predominantly white academic medical milieu using the case of the University of Cape Town Faculty of Health Sciences, South Africa. It foregrounded this experience by demonstrating how it is circumscribed by notions of race (and racism). Given the centrality of race and thus, whiteness, a select few members of the white academic staff were included as a 'control' group. The study employed Critical Race Theory (CRT) as its overarching theoretical lens. Research confirmed CRT theoretical underpinnings that life experience in race-centred societies is, largely, circumscribed by race (and racism), it also contended that there existed no singular black experience; hence the emergence of the three narratives of black registrar experience at UCT FHS. 2015-01-07T13:34:34Z 2015-01-07T13:34:34Z 2011 Doctoral Thesis Doctoral PhD http://hdl.handle.net/11427/11701 eng application/pdf Department of Sociology Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town
