In this session Anna Frohn Pedersen will provide insights into her research on artisanal gold mining in Tanzania. In her PhD project Anna conducted ethnographic research in a mining village in the northern part of Tanzania. In an attempt to find adequate forms of representing the miners’ (self)understanding of their work and lives, Anna engaged in participatory film-making in addition to her research papers. In this session we are going to discuss two different outputs from her research: a film and a research paper that both deal with the risks, challenges and uncertainty that are embedded in mining but also the hopes and dreams it invokes.

Find a link to the film and more information about the event on the website of ZIRS.
