Dr Shahieda Jansen is a clinical psychologist who serves as the Deputy Director: Academic & Technology Support at the Parow campus in the Western Cape region since 2016. Previously she headed the HPCSA accredited student counselling centre of the University of the Western Cape with oversight of counselling services and clinical supervision of master’s level national and international psychology interns. Shahieda’ s scholarly interest in relational humanity, and male-focused development was initiated by an accidental men’s group that she facilitated in 2009. Inserting the African multidimensional personhood (AMP) model between the personhood of the mental health practitioner and psychological practice is her recently published article by Taylor & Francis. Homo moyanus, not Homo neoliberalus: Socio-moral subjectivity for a transformed Higher Education is a book chapter that has been finalised for publication. Shahieda is the principal researcher of Unisa’s Community Engagement project: School Belonging for boys which adds another critical layer of research by highlighting the systemic influences on the academic performance of boys. Her longstanding commitment to prioritising humanity over gender is the subject of her book published by Unisa Press, Masculinity Meets Humanity: An Adapted Model of Masculinised Psychotherapy.
