Research Interests

I am currently researching Wits postgraduate pedagogy with a focus on supervision. I am particularly interested in the postgraduate writing process and am investigating the usefulness of a co-supervision model in GAES. This forms part of my wider interest in Geography and Environmental Education along with issues in Climatology and Meteorology.
