Amani Research Station - the post-colonial period. A witness seminar. (360G-Wellcome-102603_Z_13_Z)

Support is sought to hold a half-day witness seminar to be held in Cambridge on August 5th 2013 on the period of Africanisation (late 1950s to 1970) at the Amani research station in Tanzania - then the main malaria research site in formerly British Africa. The seminar will involve at least 10 expatriate scientists and technicians, women as well as men, who worked and lived in Amani from the late 1950s to the early 1970s, and who handed over their tasks to East African colleagues. The s eminar will be recorded and transcribed and annotated bythe applicants. (This witness seminar application will be followed by an independent application by Drs Mangesho and Okwaro for a twin event to be held at Amani research station, bringing together the East African scientists and technicians who worked on the site at the time.)
