Prof Rob O' Donoghue

Lecturer

BA (Rhodes), BA (Hons) (Wits), PGCE (Rhodes), MSc (Manchester)

Rob has long been concerned with how environmental learning and change practices are linked to living conditions – particularly for those living in conditions of poverty and environmental degradation. His professional history ranges from teaching primary school to working as the Director of Environmental Education for KZN Wildlife for 20 years. At present, Rob’s main role is to oversee the research of Masters and PhD students at the ELRC, and to try to integrate book-based learning about practice with actual practices about change. Exploring sustainable technologies and alternative practices is both his professional interest and his passion.
