Research Fields	With a focus on Zambia and Zimbabwe, my research concerns village–city interactions, and the fishery resources in Lake Kariba. Regarding the latter, which is closely related to this project, I am currently conducting my research on how decrease of fish catches in Lake Kariba has influence on the changes in fishery system and relationships between those people involved in the fishing industry.
