I qualified with an MPHIL in Diversity Studies through UCT in 2012. My research focused on understanding what it means to be a cultural, historical, social person, and the importance of reflexivity while working in this world.

I learned a lot about connection, heritage, human rights and emotion. I thought I was going to explore social inequality, but I ended up realizing that difference is fascinating. I am interested in connectedness, the links between people and environment and the possibilities present in each moment.

I enjoy exploring the role of dialogue (or shared communication) in creating transformation, and the possibilities which open up when we use imagination as our greatest tool towards freedom. I am also interested in identity, story telling, humanism, existential philosophy, reading, writing and spending time on the beach.

l work on sharing and exploring the interaction between people and environment, how we live (and are able to live) in the world, and the role of my own agency and imagination in bringing about change or transformation.

My interests are:

Imagination

Possibility

Reflecting on how we work in the world

How we live in the world, and what the social world allows us to become

How we use our own agency for transformation or a deeper sense of human and environmental appreciation

Heritage, culture and identity.
