Dr Farhana Kajee is a senior lecturer in the Education Department at Rhodes University, occupying the Educational Leadership and Management (ELM) field. Her teaching and programme coordination span the university's South African and Namibian offerings at Honours, Masters & PhD levels. This academic role follows a 10-year presence in high school Accounting classrooms.

Dr Kajee's PhD study utilised Maton's Legitimation Code Theory to analyse coursework Master's programmes in ELM at South African universities. Her supervising Master's and Doctoral studies provide the opportunity for debate and personal moral interrogation. When collaborating with students, she encourages inclusive feminism, centring activist voices.

Her recent research interests seek to magnify how inequitable social and political histories play out in educational programmes. In this vein, her academic projects have community furtherance at their core.

When the academic pens are down, she can pick up a whisk with ease- so too a Gen Z colloquial dictionary and pet poop-scoop (with lesser proficiency). At home, she is the listener to climate crisis lectures delivered by her daughter. She is yet to hold a Facebook account- much too youthful amusement. Dr Kajee aspires to take a rest, but life keeps getting in the way.
