Fieldwork

21 May

After stumbling on Cicilie’s and Mary Stevens‘ blogs, I have decided to blog about my ongoing fieldwork. My PhD research is on informal transborder trade between the Republic of Benin and Nigeria, and I am currently on fieldwork in the used clothing market in Cotonou, the border area between the two countries and the retail markets in Lagos. Will keep adding things as they come up.

    It’s great to see that my work has inspired others (my blog was inspired by a blog as well (Jon Henrik among the Ifugaos, unfortunately only in Norwegian http://joniball.digitalhub.no/).
    Good luck with your project and with blogging about it – it will be interesting to follow!

    It looks a nice topic, I am just wondering what is meant by informal, is it illegal or something such a balck market?

    Thanks for dropping by Sara…. Yea, informal, at least in this sense, means illegal.
