Iziko leYunivesithi yaseAuburn lokuZinziswa kweHlathi liza kubamba inkomfa yalo yesi-3 yamacandelo ngamacandelo, “Imiba Esavelayo ecaleni kwe-Urban-Rural Interfaces: Unxulumaniso lweNzululwazi noMbutho” eSheraton Atlanta, ngoAprili 11-14, 2010. Umxholo ophambili kunye nenjongo yenkomfa inxulumanisa imilinganiselo yoluntu imiba yemimandla yedolophu/yommandla wedolophu. Eli Ziko likholelwa ekubeni amakhonkco anjalo anika isithembiso semibono emitsha, enamandla yokuqonda amandla abumbayo, kwaye aphenjelelwa kukufudukela kwabantu ezidolophini kunye nokubonelela ngokuqonda okubandakanya ngakumbi nokunyanzelisayo kwezizathu kunye neziphumo zemigaqo-nkqubo enxulumene nokufudukela ezidolophini. Bafuna ukuhlanganisa abaphandi, iingcali, kunye nabenzi bomgaqo-nkqubo ukuba babelane ngeziphumo zophando lwangoku kunye nezicwangciso zokuphunyezwa, kunye nokuchonga izikhewu zolwazi, imingeni, kunye namathuba malunga nentsebenziswano phakathi kokuhlala ezidolophini kunye nemithombo yendalo. Ngokukodwa, iindlela ezijolise ekudibaniseni uphando lwentlalo noqoqosho kunye nendalo ziya kugxininiswa. Kulindeleke ukuba le ngqungquthela ibe yinqwelo yokunganikezeli kuphela izikhokelo zeengcamango zokuphumeza uphando oludibeneyo, kodwa kunye ne-outlet yokwabelana ngezifundo zeemeko, kunye nokubonisa iinzuzo zophando oludibeneyo olunokubonelela ngenzululwazi, abacwangcisi bokusetyenziswa komhlaba, abenzi bomgaqo-nkqubo, kunye noluntu.
