Landmark moment for UKZN sociologist

SOCIOLOGIST from the University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN) School of Social Sciences, Dr Mariam Seedat-Khan, was recently accredited by the Association for Applied and Clinical Sociology (AACS).

She is now one of only 25 certified clinical sociologists in the world, making her one of three women in South Africa to be certified by the AACS.

Seedat-Khan considers this a landmark moment in her distinguished career.

She was honoured with this recognition by the Certification Review Committee at the International Sociological Association World Congress in Canada.

Her research was characterised by the committee as professional and that it clearly demonstrated a clinical sociological perspective in her area of expertise, teaching and learning interventions in the field of education.
