Ninth "Africa in Front of Us" Seminar: "Disabled People who Cross the Border / People with Leprosy who Create a Village"
Event Overview
In this seminar two young researchers who conduct field research on Africa at Kyoto University will talk about how disabled people and people with leprosy in Africa establish their own independent living measures while crossing the border and social boundary.
We would like to seek ambiguous meaning of living independently from rich practices of people with disabilities/illnesses in Africa.
Let's take ourselves to a stone's throw from Africa.
