Nevashnee Perumal

I am the second born child of Perumal Subramoney and Pushpavathee Pillay, married to Kessie Perumal with one child, Shamara. I hold a position as a senior lecturer at the Department of Social Development Professions at Nelson Mandela University (NMU), researching and teaching in the areas of leadership and management, social work supervision, ethics and indigenising the social work curriculum. In addition she holds a commitment to utilising humanising pedagogies as well as the pedagogy of discomfort in challenging structures and spaces in higher education. I’ve also served on the faculty postgraduate studies committee, mentor the social work society and lead a recently constituted group viz African Knowledge Production Incubators which has representation from five SA universities supported by the NRF.

It’s my ambition to grow the social work academic footprint in other parts of Africa and the world.
