The second Forced Migration Online podcast is now online. In this
podcast Professor Elizabeth Colson is in conversation with Dr Anna
Schmidt. Elizabeth Florence Colson is Professor Emeritus of Anthropology
at the University of California, Berkeley. Her work in anthropology
addresses politics, religion, social organisation, social change,
migration, anthropological history, and theory and the ethnography of
Africa and North America. Colson is best know for her field work with
the Gwembe Tonga of Zambia which began in 1956, through the
Rhodes-Livingstone Institute as a control study of the social change
caused by forced resettlement. All of Colson’s work is solidly anchored
in ethnography and through it she has made theoretical contributions to
the subdisciplines of applied development and political anthropology.
Colson was also one of a group of academics that played an important
role in consolidating the Refugee Studies Centre, Oxford in it’s early
years, working closely with the former director, Dr Barbara Harrell-Bond
and the development officer at the time, Belinda Allan. Dr Anna Schmidt
is a political scientist who gained her PhD at the University of
California, Berkeley.
