Angeline Stephens, until very recently, worked in student mental health at the University of KwaZulu-Natal. As a mental health practitioner, she works within a critical, decolonial framework that recognises the interconnectedness between person and historical, political, social, cultural and economic contexts. She has extensive experience within the therapeutic context in the areas of trauma, violence, and healing. Her research interests centre around qualitative methodologies that explore social citizenship in the South African context. She is particularly interested in the intersections of gender, race, and sexual identities among marginalised people and how these intersections play out in experiences of citizenship. She has a PhD in Psychology from UCT.
