Field training
Field course in Kenya
In collaboration with the organisation Biomas and Olympia Campbell, we are organising a two-week field course in Kenya: "Socio-ecology of hunter-gatherer and nomadic populations in a changing world". Its main goal is to show students the value of fieldwork in evolutionary and behavioural ecology, and in biological anthropology more broadly, among societies living nomadic lifestyles or that have only recently transitioned to sedentism.
Students are introduced to key research questions that can be explored in collaboration with communities living in different geographical and ecological regions of Kenya, and to the methods for conducting such research ethically and rigorously.
