Gordon has a keen interest in how the use of emerging online and mobile technologies can facilitate an improvement in teaching and learning practices at universities. He completed his Masters Degree M(Phil) (Cum Laude) in the Law Faculty of UWC which has taken him in a very different but exciting direction with regards to his research area of interest. His mini-thesis A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE AFRICAN UNION’S SELF-FINANCING MECHANISM ignited his interest in the areas of international trade law, the World Trade Organisation (WTO), colonialism, capitalism, the African Union (AU) and the resulting effects on Africa as a whole. His goal is to complete his PhDin the area of international trade law and development theories.
