Cultural anthropology. I have conducted my research and study on the hyperinflation in Zimbabwe from 2007 to 2009, with special attention on how people in Harare, the capital of the country, decided to spend (or not spend) money and how they understood and described their practices and experiences. I am interested in economic anthropology, particularly, in the diversity of (quantitative) value judgment observed in the ways people use and account money. |
