Her M.Phil in Education in 2002 was entitled ‘An analysis of students’ experiences during their acquisition of academic literacy, based on their consultations with the UCT Writing Centre: Looking towards improving the feasibility of academic mentorship within Higher Education’. She is currently registered for a PhD entitled ‘Narrative means towards literacy understandings. Exploring transformations within literacies and migrating identities’. This is based on the work she did with students in a B.Ed. course, focussing on dialogical journaling.
