Masters of Arts in Conservation and Regeneration

PhD in Architecture

I am a qualified and registered architect with Architectural Registration Board in Botswana (ARC). I am also an accredited architectural historian and architectural heritage specialist. I hold a Ph.D. in Architecture from the University of Sheffield completed in 2018. I am a researcher, scholar, and lecturer, and I have also practiced architecture after my graduation. My research interest includes the relationship of architecture to the everyday spaces, heritage, identity, and colonial architecture. Prior to that, I obtained a Masters of Arts in Conservation and Regeneration in 2014. I also hold a degree in Bachelor of Architecture from the University of Botswana completed in 2009.
