Prof. Maximus Monaheng Sefotho is an Associate Professor in the Department of Educational Psychology (with a specialisation/focus on Career Guidance and Disability) at the University of Johannesburg, South Africa. His research and teaching work focus on Career Choice/Construction within the sphere of Contemporary Careers: Protean and Boundaryless as well as hephapreneurship (A concept he coined). Prof. Sefotho was the first registered member of the South African Career Development Association (SACDA), which he serves as a board member up to this day. Prof. Sefotho contributed in the development of the competency framework for career development practitioners and currently has developed an interest in the transition of differently abled persons from home through to the world of work. His later work has emphasised an Afrocentric approach that is driven by the philosophy of Ubuntu. In search of an Ubuntu Model of Career Development, Prof. Sefotho interrogates harmonising Ubuntu with Euro-Western models in addressing equity, social justice and avoiding harmful beneficence.
Dr. Lauren Lindstrom is a Professor and former Dean of the School of Education at the University of California, Davis – USA. Dr. Lindstrom has focused her career on developing innovative career development programs and improving post-school outcomes for young adults with disabilities.

Over the last 25 years, she has developed school and community based programs and disseminated findings through publications, products, national and international conference presentations. Dr. Lindstrom is a member of the Graduate Group in Education at UC Davis, a faculty affiliate with the UC Davis MIND Institute, and a Distinguished Visiting Professor at the University of Johannesburg, Department of Educational Psychology.
