Biography

His research interests sit at the cutting edge of contemporary linguistic and socio-cultural theories around language, identity and sociality in relation to transnational African migrant and diaspora communities; educational linguistics; epistemologies of the South, Indigenous traditions of knowing and decolonial theories. A key focus of his work is on how we might operationalise ‘decolonising’ as a methodology and an approach for charting the next steps in search for solutions to practical language-related problems in educational and other social policy areas. Associate Professor Ndhlovu has several academic publications consisting of a strong combination of research monographs, edited volumes, book chapters, journal articles and non-traditional research outputs. He is passionate about nurturing an outstanding cohort of future research and academic leaders through higher degree research student supervision.
