About me

Greetings! I am Dr. Bunmi Isaiah Omodan, a dedicated NRF-rated researcher and senior lecturer at Walter Sisulu University in South Africa. My academic journey has equipped me with a PhD in Education Management and Leadership, a master's degree in educational management, and a B.A. Ed in English Language. I am passionate about contributing to the scholarly community and have undertaken significant editorial roles, including serving as the Editor-in-Chief of the Interdisciplinary Journal of Sociality Studies and the Interdisciplinary Journal of Education Research. Additionally, I actively participate as an editorial member and have guest-edited for various accredited journals.

My commitment to advancing knowledge extends to my current research grant, where I am focusing on the vital task of decolonising student unrest in South African universities. I am honoured to be associated with esteemed professional organisations such as the South African Education Research Association (SAERA), Higher Education Learning and Teaching Association of Southern Africa (HELTASA), the British Education Leadership, Management and Administration Society (BELMAS), the Nigeria Association for Educational Administration and Planning (NAEAP), and the Commonwealth Council for Educational Administration and Management (CCEAM).

In my capacity as a supervisor, I've had the privilege of guiding numerous postgraduate students at both the University of the Free State and Walter Sisulu University. My academic contributions extend beyond supervision to include the publication of two books and 116 articles in various local and international journals, chapters-in-books, and conference proceedings.

My research interests are diverse, covering qualitative and quantitative research approaches, social and Africanized pedagogy, and conflict management. I am driven by a genuine enthusiasm for fostering a more inclusive and informed educational landscape. Join me on this intellectual journey as we explore and contribute to the ever-evolving realm of education and research.
