Because my scholarship on teaching is interdisciplinary, in that it brings together journalism, education, language and literacy, decolonial theory as well as history (because the texts I use are from the Early South African Black Press), I have given presentations at various conferences and symposiums. These include:

• 2019 UCT History Access (Theme: Vernacular Pasts)

• 2019 Wits Institute of Social and Economic Research (Theme: African Digital Humanities)

• 2019/2020 CPUT Rital conference

I also presented the work at the 2020 Higher Education Learning and Teaching Association of Southern Africa (HELTASA) and the 2019 Litasa Conference.

Because of the interdisciplinary work I am engaged in when it comes to higher education and language, I have been approached to review manuscripts for an international conference and publications including:

1. the Integrity Journal of Education and Training

2. the Journal of Education, Society and Behavioral Science

3. the National Communication Association
