Meet the Jury Maano Ramutsindela on Normalizing conservation violence in Africa

Arenberg Doctoral School is proud to invite you to Meet The Jury!

When internationally renowned experts visit KU Leuven as a member of a PhD Examination Committee, we like to seize this opportunity to give this expert a forum to a large audience. All members of Science, Engineering & Technology are most welcome to the Meet The Jury Lectures.

Prof. Maano Ramutsindela (University of Cape Town, South Africa) will give a lecture on “Normalizing conservation violence in Africa”.

Offering insights on violence in conservation, this talk demonstrates how and why the state in Africa pursues conservation objectives to the detriment of its citizens. It focuses on how the dehumanization of black people and indigenous groups, the insertion of global green agendas onto the continent, a lack of resource sovereignty, and neoliberal conservation account for why violence is a permanent feature of conservation in Africa. (might still slightly change)

Following the lecture, there will be opportunity for young researchers to interact with him.
