2019 will see the SOLCISTE grant for a project entitled “Sustainable Oceans, Livelihoods and Food Security through Increased Capacity in Ecosystem research in the Western Indian Ocean" kick inot action. Headed by Anthropology's Prof Shankar Aswani, the project will contribute to the urgent need to map and support initiatives that will ensure the future stability of food supplies and use of the ocean's resources. Fieldwork has already begun in sites in Tanzania and the Canary Islands.

We are pleased to welcome new lecturer Dr Dominique Santos.

The anthropology department is delighted and honoured that Dr Patti Henderson has been awarded the prestigious Vice-Chancellor’s book award for 2013.

A total of 20 books by Rhodes-affiliated academics were launched recently in the second book launch of the year, setting a new record for the number of staff-related publications at the university.
