TRANSECTS
Preven Chetty has been working in the field of environmental education, school based education, outdoor education and teacher education for more than 15 years. He has worked with/for the Outward Bound, Ethekwini Municipality, Department Of Education, WESSA, DUCT, Greenpeace Africa, UKZN, UNISA, Earthwatch, Rhodes University and other EE initiatives throughout this time. In 2012 together with a small group of ecowarriors from the Duzi Umgeni Conservation Trust they walked the entire length of the Umgeni River monitoring water quality and engaging in EE activities along its banks with school learners. This led to further explorations and EE work along the catchment throughout the decade. Currently he is completing his doctoral study at Rhodes University on resonance building praxis and enabling ecologically literate learners through practical fieldwork activities in riparian systems. I am extremely excited to be a part of TRANSECTS and believe transdisciplinary research will yield more insights and solutions to the current ecological crisis we face. It is truly when we combine our collective interests through distributed cognition that we can overcome the plethora of environmental and social issues we face.
