Although born and raised in the USA, I have been deeply involved for the past 35 years in the change process in South Africa, where I now live. My doctoral work was in women's political resistance to apartheid and I maintain a keen interest in women's leadership. I currently represent my province, the Eastern Cape, on the newly-created National Heritage Council of South Africa, and serve my local community as an elected member of the local Municipal Council, where I have responsibilities in the Environmental and Heritage sectors. Involvement in several community heritage development projects has informed my lecturing at Rhodes University (Grahamstown) in the fields of Oral History and Public History. My passion lies with assisting disadvantaged communities to define, own and economically benefit from their own histories.
