Senior lecturer, Rhodes University

I am a Senior Lecturer and Coordinator of the Higher Education Studies Doctoral Programme at Rhodes University. I combine my background and love of linguistics with higher education studies in my work on academic literacies. My current research focuses on doctoral education, with a particular interest in developing theoretical tools for analysing and understanding disciplinary knowledge-building practices. My work has a strong social justice agenda in that it seeks to make explicit the often-tacit disciplinary literacy practices that act as gatekeepers to becoming members of a discipline. I am an Associate Member of the LCT Centre for Knowledge-Building based at the University of Sydney.
