The UCT Open Textbook Award aims to recognise outstanding open textbooks written by the University of Cape Town staff and students which advance the university’s transformation and social justice agenda. An initiative of the Deputy Vice-Chancellor for Teaching and Learning and the Centre for Innovation in Learning and Teaching (CILT), the award is currently in its third year. I am very pleased to announce that, given the strength of nominations received, the 2022 UCT Open Textbook Award will be shared by two groundbreaking works: Paeds In a Pinch: A Practical Guide, for Students, by Students, with Specialist Review (edited by Carol Hlela, Lehlohonolo Ntlatlapo, Rannakoe Lehloenya and Christine Ile) and Migration in Southern Africa: IMISCOE Regional Reader (edited by Pragna Rugunanan and Nomkhosi Xulu-Gama).
