Biography
I am a qualified High School teacher who majored in Art and Design education and English (EFL and ESL). It was my exposure to Art and Design that sparked an interest in art and design education in Africa. My Master's degree focused on the renewal of design education to accommodate multicultural and multilingual studio education. An output of the study was a book Chapter in The Transformative Power of Language, edited by Russell Kaschula and Ekkehard Wolff.
As an offshoot of my Master’s study, work-integrated learning (WIL) emerged as a critical focus in graphic design education. The study focuses on investigating WIL practices across three institutions of higher education to propose a WIL framework for graphic design. The framework is designed to promote equal access to WIL for all graphic design students at institutions of higher education. Significantly, the study illuminates students’ cultural capital and its impact on their participation in WIL.
