Indigenous and Local Knowledge of Fisher Folk: Comparative Analysis of Kenya and Ghana.

In this episode of CMR Podcast, Allan Mjomba Majalia, a third-year PhD student in Sustainable Development at the University of St Andrews, School of Geography and Sustainable Development, discusses the Indigenous and local knowledge of fisher folk in Kenya and Ghana. He explores how marine social science (a Western epistemological framework) intersects with African ontologies and epistemologies, offering unique insights from his PhD fieldwork.

Allan is interviewed by his colleague and friend, PGT MLitt. G. Connor Salter, as they reflect on the challenges and rewards of conducting research in diverse coastal communities, and the emerging themes from his two field sites.
