Talks of the Past Open Seminar with Anne-Maria Fehn and Jorge Rocha (TBA)

Title & Abstract – TBA

Anne-Maria Fehn is a researcher at the University of Porto, a linguist with a special interest in the history of southern Africa. Her main field of expertise is documentary and historical linguistics, but she is also interested in multidisciplinary approaches to population history research, including methods from human genetics and bioinformatics.

Jorge Rocha is an Associate Professor at the Department of Biology of the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Porto. He is a geneticist with a vivid interest in human evolutionary genetics and the history of African populations. Jorge conducts interdisciplinary studies of language and genetic variation in continental areas such as Angola and Mozambique, which are crucial for evaluating alternative models of the dispersal of Bantu-speaking peoples and their interaction with indigenous populations.
