It is already the 2nd day at the Global Hub on Indigenous People Food Systems, during the World Food Forum organised by the FAO.

Productive discussions between indigenous elders, academics, and politicians, about food security, diversity and peace.

Yesterday, my poster...

🌿- BaYaka nursing mothers and girls engage in 'Relay Cooperation' during foraging trips -🌿

... won the Runner Up position at DCAD (Durham Centre for Academic Development) annual Poster Competition! 🥈

I am glad that the content appealed to academics out of Anthropology! 🌍

Throwback on a great Summer School week at @qubelfastofficial.bsky.social:
Great Talks, great talks, a beautiful blue sky, and a gorgeous city.

Additionally, we learnt a lot about the history of Belfast and Northern Ireland. Thank you to all the academics for sharing. 💚

Yesterday, NINE DTP Summer School started at Queen's University, Belfast!

The first keynote was a fascinating talk by Foluke Adebisi, on the history and aspects of decolonisation.

This week, Eco Durham hosted a powerful and insightful event.

Using an intersectional lens, 3 speakers (see 🧵) presented how Environmentalism is often weaponised by colonial powers.

This was a truly moving panel which, through the pain and injustice, raised hope, awareness and solidarity.

This image symbolises giggles under the rain, peace under the storm, play, resilience, and everything that is beautiful in learning between adults and kids.

The fact that people voted for it, feels my heart even more.

Thank you 🌦️🌿

I took this picture a couple of days upon arriving on the field, and it stayed as my background profile, for the following months.
Fieldwork can be challenging and tiring, but every time I would open the work phone, it would remind me why I was there and why I loved being there.

My research explores how seasonal variations shape children's learning, movement, and foraging skills among the BaYaka, an active forager community in the Congo Basin. My project connects Indigenous knowledge to policymakers, helping to shape more sustainable and culturally informed policies.

Many thanks to the EHBEA 2025 attendees who trusted me with the Best Poster Award (Public vote)! 🌿

It is the first time I present my own data and truly lead the project, and your questions and insights came really helpful.

Amazingly inspiring talk from @heidicolleran.bsky.social, challenging misconceptions on fertility and calling for more ethnographically oriented demography!
