On Thursday, 19th January 2023 from 4-5.30 pm (Central European Time) ETROD welcomes Dr. Robert Pijpers (Hamburg University). Robert will share his research on ´In-depth geopolitics: between socio-spatial arrangements and the politics of verticality´. 

To prepare the session and ensure a fruitful discussion we suggest participants read a research paper written by Robert together with Sabine Luning and the debate section that followed the paper, also published in Africa. 

Luning, S., Pijpers, R.J., 2017. Governing access to gold in Ghana: in-depth geopolitics on mining concessions. Africa 87, 758–779.

If you have any troubles accessing the texts or further questions regarding the session or the ETRODseries, please contact Janine Hauer (etrod@zirs.uni-halle.de).

We are looking forward to meeting many familiar and new faces on the 19th. Please be reminded that we start at 4 pm Central European Time sharp!
