Kopano’s scholarship revolves around two nodes: critical men and masculinity studies on one hand, and critical and cultural African psychological studies on the other. Much of his thinking, writing, research, and public engagement activities are directly or indirectly flow out of and into these two fields of enquiry. His list of publications is extensive. It includes books, book chapters and journal articles. A value he holds dear is the dissemination of scholarly work via nonacademic channels such as newspapers, television, a documentary film, short videos, social media, and radio. He used to co-host a weekly radio show on Cape Talk called ‘Cape Dads’ with Koketso Sachane and Mbuyiselo Botha. Among several roles his scholarship expertise work has allowed him to serve as a member of the Ministerial Committee on Transformation in South African Universities, convener of the National Research Foundation’s Specialist Committee for Psychology Rating Panel, president of the Psychological Society of South Africa, and former chairperson of Sonke Gender Justice.
