    • Conducting Fieldwork with San and Hadza (Post-)Hunter-Gatherer Communities in Africa: Regulatory and Ethical Issues 

      Abels, Monika; Ninkova, Velina (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-02-28)
      In this paper, we address some of the challenges and opportunities of conducting international research in psychology. We examine issues that arise from working in contexts that differ substantially from those in which most psychological research is still conducted. We take our experiences with Tanzanian and Namibian (post-)hunter-gatherers as a starting point for discussing regulatory and ethical ...

    • Learning to aspire, aspiring to subvert: Namibian San youths' narratives about the future as mimetic work of resistance 

      Ninkova, Velina; Paksi, Attila (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-03-06)

    • The state as a whiteman, the whiteman as a |'hun: Personhood, recognition, and the politics of knowability in the Kalahari 

      Ninkova, Velina (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-02-24)
      The Ju|’hoansi of east central Namibia sometimes refer to the state as a whiteman and to the whiteman as a /’hun (steenbok). In this article, I contextualize these naming practices by tracing the history of colonial encounters on the fringes of the Western Kalahari through a small-scale animist perspective. I then discuss what this means for the concept of ‘recognition’, which I treat as a two-way ...
