Monika Baumanová
Marie Curie Global Individual Fellow (14.09.2015-13.05.2017)
Monika Baumanova is a Marie Curie Global Individual Fellow (Universität Basel, University of Uppsala). She did her undergraduate and postgraduate studies at the University College London, UK, where she specialised in African Archaeology and undertook fieldwork in East Africa. In 2012, she got her PhD in Archaeology at the University of West Bohemia, Czech Republic. Between 2011-2014 she co-managed an international research project there, during which she focused on Swahili towns.
Research
Her current research combines the archaeological approaches to the materiality of African urban environments with those of other social sciences. She focuses on analysing the spatial organisation and material built environment in African towns over the long term (from 15th – 20th centuries). Her research interests include social use of space, spatial analysis (access, visibility and network analyses), and archaeology of colonialism and cultural encounter.
Keywords: African urbanism, cultural memory, networks, structure, built environment, material culture
