Christine Noe is Associate Professor of Human Geography and Principal of the College of Social Sciences at the University of Dar es Salaam. Her research examines conservation, development politics, and rural livelihoods in Tanzania. She co-edited Prosperity in Rural Africa (2021) and Contested Sustainability (2022), and is active in mentoring emerging African scholars.

Dr. Jevgeniy Bluwstein, a Senior Research Fellow in the Department of Social Anthropology and Cultural Studies at the University of Bern, examines how the reductive Western view of landscapes reinforces colonization through exclusionary conservation practices, focusing on a case study of Tarangire National Park in Tanzania. Introducing the term “landscapism,” meaning the “double movement of colonizing landscapes/landscaping colonies,” Bluwstein offers a critical perspective, advocating for viewing landscapes through a lens of relationality.
