AFREXTRACT webinar series
Environemental Histories of Resource Extraction in Africa
This webinar 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. The book talks will have a Q&A format.
All are welcome!
If you would like to join the webinar and/or the AFREXTRACT mailing list, please email Hannah Heath (h.j.heath student.rug.nl).
