For 15 years I taught Philosophy of Education at the University of the Western Cape, South Africa, and headed up the university's academic support systems for post-graduate students and their supervisors. After developing the university's post-graduate educational and training programme, I left South Africa in 2003 and took up a position at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, USA where I currently teach courses in the Philosophy Department on "Ethics of the Built Environment" and "Contemporary Moral Issues". In addition to teaching, I advise students on their applications for international and prestigious scholarships, and develop the resources for the Fellowships Advisory office. Keeping my links with South Africa, I am at present developing a teacher's manual on responsible gambling, as part of the Life Orientation Learning Area for high school students.
