(Post)colonial cattle frontiers. Capitalism, science and empire in Southern and Central Africa

With Samuël Coghe (Berlin)

Samuël Coghe works on colonial and African history from transnational and global perspectives and with a particular focus on the history of knowledge. His research has dealt with the abolition of the Transatlantic Slave Trade and on the history of Portuguese colonialism, mainly in Angola, in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, with special attention to the history of colonial medicine, demography and anthropology and on transimperial flows of knowledge and practices. His publications include articles in peer-reviewed international journals such as Slavery and Abolition, Social History of Medicine, Journal of Contemporary History and Portuguese Studies Review. While continuing his interest in Lusophone Africa, he has recently also turned to the history of French and Belgian colonialism. His current research engages with the history of pastoralism, veterinary science and cattle economies in French colonial Africa and Asia, which he analyses from a global history perspective.
