Helen spent a year living in an Owambo homestead in the remote North of Namibia. There, she conducted anthropological and biblical research into the relationship between African Traditional Religion and Christianity. An inexperienced fieldwork researcher at the outset, Helen encountered many highs and lows and, despite her best efforts, was challenged by the circumstances on numerous occasions. Helen was welcomed into a wonderful host family and community.

In this talk, Helen will tell tales from the year, illustrating the unpredictable and challenging nature of fieldwork, as well as what she has learned for her next expedition.

Previously this series of talks was under the branding of Intrepid Explorers Exeter
