Building collaborations with Indigenous and Local Communities using Extreme Citizen Science

Jerome Lewis works with BaYaka forest hunter-gatherers in Congo-Brazzaville since 1993 on egalitarianism and the role of ritual, music and dance in society. Jerome’s applied research supports forest people to secure their land and better represent themselves to outsiders using new technologies (Extreme Citizen Science). He is director of the Centre for the Anthropology of Sustainability, and co-founder of Flourishing Diversity.
