SUMMARY OF EXPERIENCE
Research: I have experience in both qualitative and quantitative research, ranging from ecological work
on the distribution and population dynamics of C. validus to participatory research on the role of natural
resources in the livelihoods of rural people. I have been a member of a number of interdisciplinary, multiinstitutional research teams. This has provided me with exposure to a wide range of approaches and
ideas, broadening and diversifying my background, especially in the areas of social science research,
rural development, natural resource management, community participation and policy. Much of my
research has been action and policy orientated. I have also acted in an advisory role on a number of
research projects and implementation initiatives and have been invited to review numerous journal
articles and project proposals in my areas of expertise. Since July 2008 I have supervised 23
postgraduate students from Honours to PhD level. I am an NRF rated scientist at B3 level.
Community engagement: I have experience in most aspects of rural and community development,
including agriculture, natural resource management, education, and health. My past interaction with
local communities on an almost daily basis has provided me with good insights into many aspects of
rural life and needs. I have experience in facilitating community workshops, and in the use of
participatory moderation techniques. Most of my research has been action orientated and has included
sharing research results with relevant stakeholders with the ultimate aim of trying to affect change on
the ground. In recent projects, I have engaged in processes of social learning with community groups,
which involves knowledge co-production and shared learning over extended periods of time with the
aim of building local agency and capacity. I have also explored the use of innovative techniques for
communicating and sharing science such as through various forms of art including drama. I was short
listed for the VC Community Engagement Award in 2013, and our work was profiled in a university
publication on community-engaged research. In 2015 our team was awarded the VC’s Distinguished
Community Engagement Award.
Teaching and training: I have experience in teaching and training. This has included formal courses
in Botany and Environmental Science at an undergraduate level, postgraduate short courses in natural
resource management, and skills training for fieldworkers and teachers. Contributions have included
lectures and training inputs on participatory rural appraisal, managing the commons, sustainable
livelihoods, CBNRM, woodland resource valuation, complex socio-ecological systems and the
presentation of practical case studies. Since July 2008 I have held a fulltime lecturing position at Rhodes
University and I coordinated and did most of the teaching for the ENV 201 “Foundations” Course as well
as provide inputs at other levels including an Honours module on climate change adaptation until 2013.
I teach complex social ecological systems theory, resilience, climate change adaptation, climate change
policy, natural resource management and governance, common property resource management, PES
and others. I also provide a module for the Conservation Biology Masters Course at the Percy Fitzpatrick
Institute at UCT. I also teach climate change and integrated landscape management at undergraduate
level and a module on climate change adaptation at Honours level.
Management and administration: All my jobs have included administration, coordination and
organisational duties. I have experience in organising large and small workshops, conferences and
meetings, chairing and minute taking, organisational policy development, proposal writing and fundraising, budgeting, managing finances and project planning. I am efficient and well-organise in this
respect. I have been HOD of the Department of Environmental Science since January 2014. Currently
I sit on the number of committees at Rhodes as indicated in the table below.
