The Centre of Criminology at the University of Cape Town and the School for Policy Studies at the University of Bristol will be holding two events relating to the role and position of Cannabis in the African context, hosted by Gernot Klantschnig, Neil Carrier, Simon Howell, and Clemence Rusenga.

Monday 21 November 2022

09h00 to 12h00 and 13h00 to 16h00

In the morning, we will discuss:

  • A current research project entitled “Cannabis Africana: Drugs and Development in Africa”, that has thus far been conducted in four countries across the continent; and

  • Recent Cannabis-related legislative and policy changes in various African countries, to review what lessons might be learnt from each.

In the afternoon, we will hold a combined lecture and conversation on methodological questions around studying topics such as illegal drugs. These include concerns around ethics, data collection, using sensitive information, and researcher and participant safety. This discussion will be useful to both students and colleagues from a range of disciplines.

The events are open to all those who are interested to attend, either in person or ONLINE.
The times are South African Standard Time.
