Dr Mvuseselo Ngcoya; Ms Catherine Sutherland; Ms Andisiwe Jukuda; Professor Dianne Scott and Dr Louis Celliers.
Dianne Scott, Cathy Sutherland and Mvuselelo Ngcoya (Development Studies, BEDS) together with Louis Celliers, Susan Taljaard and Michelle Ardouin (CSIR) are investigating 'Knowledge for Coastal Governance'. The main research question is: How applicable is the knowledge negotiation model for producing appropriate knowledge for 'coastal governance' in the context of a neo-liberal, developing society in the process of transformation?
The project team is using the Durban Golden Mile as a case study since this area represents a typical relationship at the city-port-environment interface. Scott said the project aimed to set up a competency group consisting of knowledge holders who would share and negotiate an understanding of the conflicts and issues in the Golden Mile coast and sea zone.
Masters students on the programme include Andisiwe Jukuda and Tazkiyyah Amra.
