I am very happy to announce my latest publication, which is truly a collaborative effort between scholars and indigenous peoples from all over southern Africa, in the flagship journal Nature: Ecology and Evolution. The paper addresses the usage of research codes and contracts. Of course, the paper is accessible on my Publications page under 2023.

In short: Research codes and contracts have been developed to protect Indigenous and marginalized peoples from exploitation and to promote inclusion, so that research will become more beneficial to them. We highlight three important but often overlooked challenges for such instruments, drawing on examples from the San of southern Africa.
