Alvin Ntibinyane

Ntibinyane’s research and teaching are deeply rooted in examining journalism’s role in shaping societies, particularly within African and ‘othered’ ways of knowing, including global Indigenous epistemologies. He is driven by a passion for uncovering stories that often go untold and a commitment to challenging dominant narratives that have historically marginalized certain voices. His background in investigative journalism has provided him with firsthand experience in exposing corruption, human rights abuses and social injustices across Africa. This work reinforces his belief in the power of journalism to drive change and hold power to account. In the classroom, Ntibinyane strives to cultivate an inclusive, dynamic and reflective learning environment that values the diverse perspectives shaping our world. He is particularly interested in decolonizing journalism education by integrating marginalized epistemologies and challenging the Eurocentric frameworks that often dominate curricula. He is also deeply committed to exploring the intersections of journalism, social justice and anti-racism. His research focuses on the impact of investigative journalism and its potential as a tool for advancing equity and inclusion. He encourages his students to view their work as part of a broader struggle for a fairer, more just society. For him, teaching is not merely a profession, it is a calling. It offers the opportunity to inspire the next generation of journalists to be fearless, thoughtful and compassionate in their pursuit of truth and to use their voices to make a meaningful difference. | Investigative journalism, journalism education, non-profit journalism, global journalism collaborations, decolonizing journalism education, global Indigenous knowledge in education, journalism and race politics, critical disability studies, African media studies, African politics
