I have worked at various universities, with my main base being the University of South Africa (UNISA), where I started off in the Sociology department. I have been Dean (Social Sciences) at the University in Eswatini; Deputy Director in the Centre for Systems Studies at Hull University (UK); and Dean (Social Sciences and Humanities) at European University Cyprus. I am currently Professor Extraordinarius at UNISA. In my research projects (with teams) I have focused on how research can be geared towards facilitating social and environmental justice by employing a transformative paradigm for transdisciplinary research, inflected with an Indigenous paradigm. The latter paradigm for research contributes to nurturing sustainable development because it provides for Indigenous ways of relating to the natural environment, of which we are seen as a part (and not apart).
