DEPUTY DEAN (RESEARCH)

Jean Baxen - PTD (Bechet), BA(UNISA), MEd (Leeds), PhD (UCT)

Jean Baxen is our newest academic staff member in the Education Department. She moved to Grahamstown from UCT in 2009. We are delighted to have her expertise in our department.

Her interest is in curriculum theory, pedagogy, social identity especially as it relates to teachers and their work, and HIV/AIDS led to her heading a variety of research projects and textbook projects.

Jean's doctoral work focussed on factors that shape teachers' understanding of, experiences, and responses to HIV/AIDS. She is a member on a number of editorial boards and chairs a number of NGO boards that work with young people.
