Title: Human Geographer researching Iboga / Politics
Post by: matkeel on December 04, 2015, 12:14:17 AM
Hello,

I am a PHD research student at the University of Bristol in the UK working on an interdisciplinary project around Iboga and post-colonialism among other things.

I'm here because I would like to begin cultivating a small cluster of Iboga Tabernathe here in the UK and am looking for any and all information and wisdom on how to do so successfully.

Nice to meet you all.

Mat

That's a really tough one to answer actually. ;) Sometimes I say its best to just think of us as very similar to anthropologists but we look at many sites/places rather than just one at a time and we're always (or almost always) framing our examinations in relation to "nature" and the different ways nature is understood and engaged across time/space. Practically however, its a very interdisciplinary field in which you can study nearly anything under the sun so long as you situate it within the history of the discipline.

Wow - that sounds extremely intriguing. I am still in the early stages of my project design but would be happy to share in time. Can you tell me more about what you're doing? Either here or shoot me an email.

So it is about human history and its reconstruction by the remains that are scattered globally ? Gets harder to understand when I start to relate it to nature but does make sort of sense, so ancient history, geography, biology and ethno ?

Welcome aboard the Mother Ship!
Sending good vibes your way.
Get that cultivation information and practice going. Iboga needs a little assistance on the green front.

Thanks for all the warm welcomes and thanks, Frog Pajamas, for making me a full member so I can communicate with people by PM.

I will keep people posted on my progress at the greenhouse here or whatever alternative space I find or create. I've also been reading more about the Eden Project in Cornwall (SW UK) where Aya vine has been grown successfully, I am told.

Cheers to all and to all a good night.
