Tanzania

My project explores the archaeology of the Swahili in Zanzibar Tanzania, during the Portuguese and Omani colonial occupations of the 16th-20th centuries CE.

This grant will support activities related to an ongoing research project in Tanzania, which explores the concepts of dignity and heritage in Maasai lifeworlds, in relation to the UN Sustainable Development Goals and similar target-based policy initiatives.

My ethnographic research explores multigenerational experiences with precarity and aspiration in the Kahe Ward of northern Tanzania.

My dissertation explores the making of the New International Economic Order (NIEO)—and the demands for economic sovereignty and a “right to development” it embodied—from the perspective(s) of sub-Saharan Africa.
