Lecturer, University of the Witwatersrand
Dr Mpho Mathebula holds a PhD in psychology from the University of the Witwatersrand. She is a lecturer in the psychology department at the same university. Issues pertaining to women’s emancipation, naked body protests, child protection and children’s education, upliftment of society and social issues, are close to her heart, therefore much of her research is focused on these topics.
In her Health Psychology module, Mpho deals with issues such as interpersonal violence, mental health, HIV/AIDS & other communicable diseases as well as family configuration and the role of family on health, among other topics. The Gender module she teaches looks into African feminist critiques of the epistemological foundations of patriarchy and contribution to the emancipation of women as subjects; decoloniality and intersectionality among other topics.
As an adaptable person and a quick learner, Mpho loves to explore different research topics and broaden her knowledge and understanding of the subject matter.
Her research expertise, resourcefulness, easy-going nature, initiative, independent and sharp mind, and an eye for detail make Mpho an asset in any team.
