Current Projects/Interests: This year (2011) the project I have put time into, aside from lecturing at the Durban University of Technology (DUT), is education outreach. This has taken place through the NGO Feeding the Self, of which I was a founding member. In partnership with ELET (Environment and Language Education Trust) the project has installed productive food gardens into under-resourced school environments. Through my involvement in coursework and material design these gardens and the learners work therein were integrated directly in to the natural sciences elements of the schools grade 6 and 7 classes. The material was designed to further integrate with the languages, mathematics and life orientation elements of the curriculum. The learners were, as a result of course design, encouraged to take what they had learnt in the school gardens and reproduce/apply it within their homes and communities by starting their own productive garden projects. Beyond this I read extensively keeping abreast of the latest events in the world of economics, science, culture and political theory. I also write and am working on several book projects, and have completed my first novel.
