LitNet Akademies

The online journal publishes Afrikaans research in a range of disciplines Under the Humanities are included history, psychology, the performing and fine arts, and literature. The advisory board consists of academics from South Africa, the UK and the Netherlands. The journal is published as a subsection of the larger website, and for the first four years in fact there was not even a separate section. However, from 2007 onwards such articles are placed under the rubric LitNet Akademies, with one or two articles appearing at a time.
