Biocultural heritage in Mozambique
The Forum for Africa Studies is involved in a joint programme in Archaeology and Anthropology entitled Biocultural Heritage in Mozambique: developing new heritage industries. It focuses on developing heritage industries combining biocultural heritage processes. The concept of biocultural heritage allows for new approches to heritage, nature conservation, lanscape planning, and development goals
Several PhDs in Archaeology will be trained as well as one Anthropologist (Jossias Humbane). As part of Sweden-Mozambique bilateral research collaboration, the programme has recruited two PhD students and one postdoc (Hilario Madiquida). The Swedish coordinator is Dept. of Archaeology and Ancient History.
Jossias Humbane is the PhD student in Cultural Anthropology. PhD students in Archaeology are Decio Muianga, Cézar Mahumane, Celso and Zefanias Simbine. The coordinators of the programme are Dr. Hilário Madiquida and Associate Prof. Anneli Ekblom. More generally, supervisors involved in the programme are Hilário Madiquida, Anneli Ekblom, Karl-Johan Lindholm, Solange Macamo, and Mats Utas.
