From 2015-2016, I studied the long-term social impacts of mining after the closure of a large scale open pit gold mine in 2000. This research has led me to study deindustrialization, schismatic Christian churches, and local politics in Misima. In conjunction with these studies, I have also investigated the social role of witchcraft accusations, magic, and discourses on the opacity of other minds.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/4″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator color=”chino” style=”double” el_width=”20″][/vc_column][/vc_row]
