The project „Medium-Scale Farmers in Rural Africa: Transformations in Belonging, Property, Kinship and Power“ was recently approved for funding by VolkswagenStiftung. The project will investigate the agency of medium scale farmers, their strategies for accumulation, and their impact on the agrarian economy and smallholder production. It is regionally focused around the rural landscape and agrarian economies of Namibia, Ghana and Tanzania. With Clemens Greiner (Project C02 Energy Futures) and Michael Bollig (Project A04 Future Conservation), the project features two researchers of the Collaborative Research Centre Future Rural Africa, alongside Emmanuel Sulle (Aga Khan University, Arusha Climate and Environmental Research Centre, Tanzania), Ruth Hall (PLAAS, University of the Western Cape, South Africa) and Kojo Amanor (University of Ghana).
The project is currently looking for a Postdoctoral researcher (Anthropology) (f/m/x).
Vacancy: Postdoctoral Researcher in VolkswagenStiftung Project „Medium-Scale Farmers in Rural Africa: Transformations in Belonging, Property, Kinship and Power“
