Originally from the US, Myshele completed the MSc in 2005, and is currently working on her PhD in Sociology at the University of Strathclyde. Passionate about writing and social transformation, she writes a monthly education column in the Scotsman, and edits the CHE newsletter.

Myshele writes: Human ecology has given me a deeper sense of the connections between personal and political, local and global, social and environmental.... The list goes on! The course helped me gain confidence in working on my small part of the problem, knowing that the ripples will spread outwards.

I started my PhD in the year following the MSc, and most of the time in between was spent working and writing.  My project is on social conscience in higher education, and my other research interests include activism, mythology, spirituality, identity, and class/race/gender issues.  When I'm not working, I love to dance, make music, fiddle with websites, walk in Holyrood Park, and take care of my composting worms.
