Preface

A prerequisite for by the CRC at the CUT is that all master's and doctoral candidates publish one article in the INTERIM before they graduate. In 2013, the Faculty of Humanities was allocated a Special Edition in the INTERIM to afford master's and doctoral candidates the opportunity of submitting their articles for the last edition of INTERIM 2013. However, the Special Edition could only be processed after students who would be graduating in March 2014 had submitted their articles by 31 January 2014. Thus this Special Edition is intended for authors who are submitting articles for the first time. The aforementioned is one of the strategies of giving upcoming authors the opportunity of publishing articles from their master's and doctoral studies.
