ASC Seminar: Social and technical change in artisanal gold mining in Siguiri, Guinea Conakry

Seminar: Digging deeper than before. Social and technical change in artisanal gold mining in Siguiri, Guinea Conakry. In this seminar, Dr Cristiano Lanzano (The Nordic Africa Institute) draws from his ongoing ethnographic work in artisanal mining areas in West Africa to describe how migrant miners from neighboring countries and technological innovations have contributed to the rapid transformation of work conditions and institutional settings of gold mining around the village of Tonso (Upper Guinea, prefecture of Siguiri). This seminar will be organized together with the Department of Cultural Antropology and Development Sociology, Leiden University. Please register.
