Introducing Myself
My name is Olumide Abimbola. I am a Nigerian PhD candidate at the Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology, Halle/Saale, Germany. I have an MA in Development Studies from the Department of Government, Uppsala University, Sweden.
My research is on informal trade between Nigeria and Republic of Bénin.
Theoretically, I am interested in the Sociology of Association or Actor-Network Theory. I am also interested in New Institutional Economics and the ways institutions affect trade and economic behavior. There are of course others that I cannot think of at the moment. I will write about them as they arise.
This blog is going to be about general anthropological issues that I find interesting. My interests, as they will appear on this page, may be more slanted towards theories.
Yea, that is me. I should be back in some days.
