According to Maud.

@lazyorlaylah A Thousand Splendid Suns. That book broke my heart. I cried many times reading it. Had to put it down when I had had enough and picked it up the next hour because I wanted to know if it ever gets better for Mariam.

“Learn this now and learn it well. Like a compass facing north, a man’s accusing finger always finds a woman. Always. You remember that, Mariam.”

Don’t ⭕️ it Don’t Crop it Don’t point out. What animal do you see?

The people of Den Staat have lived there for generations. But they have to jump through hoops to appease their ancestors. The famous golden rhino of Mapungubwe is important. The king was buried with the totems of the people he ruled: information often left out. #6WC

Sebelebele uses the Deep Hang Out method (Clifford Geertz, 1994). It includes participatory observations, walk-longs, rights workshops, and archival research. She focuses on dignity taking from this community. Wildlife can move through Den Staat but herding is frowned upon. #6WC

PLAAS Associate Researcher Maud Sebelebele's work focuses on the first Mother City, Mapungubwe. One of the communities she works with is based on Den Staat farm, which is sandwiched between land managed by the Mapungubwe National Park. #6WC

This session is chaired by Professor Moenieba Isaacs. Maude Sebelebele, @SiphesihleMbh11, and Ayanda Madlala will present their unique methodologies while conducting research in conservation and its effects on local communities and biodiversity. #6WC

I am part of the winning team 😄.

Join us at @UWConline for the 6th World Conference on Remedies to Racial and Social Inequality. Our award-winning Living Landscapes in Action team is presenting their innovative methodologies to social justice struggles in biodiversity hotspots in South Africa. #6WC

A friendly reminder as to why a friend that is Good Social Capital is important for the success of the project. The hard working friends are great too, but when you add the one that knows who to reach out to!, eh, you will see your system will run smoothly.

@Carolinerathabe When he buys socks for himself, he gives me the brightest pair for me to either wear around the house or to wear when I go to bed in the winter seasons. He goes "here, I know you'd like these" or just rock up with them when I look cold.

@HonkIfUrHoary University of the Western Cape EMS department, at the Anthropology Dep or with PLAAS . Wageningen University, you can approach Prof Bram Buscher. Bram has a concept/school of thought called Convivial Conservation that integrates conservation, biodiversity, and social justice.

I am struggling to find a university that allows an interdisciplinary masters with strong ecology/conservation and sociology departments. If y’all know of any, please let me know 😭

what’s a random line of poetry you say aloud or in ya head from time to time unprovoked?

@scientistswrite I am absolutely interested . How do I join in

I'm looking to connect with researchers who want to change the way they write and publish papers. Who am I? Heya! I'm Anna, PhD and academic writing coach and founder of the Researchers' Writing Academy. Let's link up! 😎

Wildebeest migration season in the Maasai Mara has become so popular that tourist vehicles are now blocking the poor animals from crossing

#BlackBotanistsWeek2022 #BlackBotanistsAtWork #blackfoodforthesoul Gathering some soil sampling at a game farm. Pic 1: Amazing background!!! Pic two: Wondering what crop can fit this clay soil without much manipulation...

I missed day 3 #BlackBotanistsAtWork yesterday. But it's cool since part of my work is in agriculture related. Pic 1. Vegetation classification for a farmer who wanted to know the quality of his hay.. (note the daisy pen).. The rest some of the grass species he had.
