AFREXTRACT seminar series 2023
Environemental Histories of Resource Extraction in Africa
This seminar series reflects on the environmental histories of mining and oil drilling regions in Africa. It also reviews the various sources, such as literature, art and research fields like ethnography, that we can deploy to write these histories.
All are welcome!
