Compte-rendu du Workshop Medical research, development, and memory in colonial and postcolonial Nigeria
Report on the 2012 workshop at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, Enugu State
Following our second call for research proposals on the History of Medical Research in Nigeria, ten (10) Nigerian junior scholars representing 6 different Nigerian universities were selected and participated in a 4-day workshop organized in the Dean's boardroom, School of General Studies, University of Nigeria at Nsukka, from 17-20 September 2012.
The lead discussant was Dr. John Manton from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, accompanied by Dr. Gérard Chouin, Director of IFRA-Nigeria and Dr. Elodie Apard-Malah, researcher, IFRA-Nigeria. The intensive program included an overview of the historiography of medicine and scientific/medical research in Africa, a thorough presentation and discussion of all ten projects, and sessions about methodological and ethical issues, the use of technology in the field, etc. Mr. Chidi Ugwu, one of the beneficiaries of the 4 fieldwork grants given out after the first seminar organized in November 2011 at the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, also presented his research paper and participated to discussions.
At the School of General Studies, we were welcomed by Prof. J. C. Okeibunor, who gave a welcome address to participants in the 2012 programme, Prof. Peter Ezeh, head of the Social Science Unit and Mr. Krydz Ikwuemesi, head of the Humanities Unit and participant in our 2011 programme at ABU Zaria.
Four (4) out of the twelve (12) proposed projects will receive support in the form of a field research grant. Final revised project will be submitted by participants by midnight on the 8th of October. A jury composed of the PI, co-PI and two external assessors will select successful proposals before 31 December 2012.
A second call for research proposals will be issued in early 2013, in view of the last workshop to take place at the University of Ibadan (Oyo State) in June or early July 2013.
