Tribute to Lebo Suwe Phaladze from Monica Morrison!

 

Just over a week ago, the country of Botswana lost a stalwart of local knowledge advocacy, Lebogeng Suwe (Phaladze), research librarian at the University of Botswana’s Okavango Research Institute. Working in a transdisciplinary team, at HOORC and later ORI, Lebo collected and preserved records that captured the experience of early field researchers in the Okavango Delta's wetlands, scientists who often flew in the face of convention to study the people and nature of the region. The archives at University of Botswana ORI tell the story of this work, among them the Hans Joachim collection of San cultural heritage, Pete Smith’s annotated maps, library, and specimens now stewarded by the ORI Herbarium,  and the books, notebooks, research reports and photographs of wildlife biologist Richard Bell.
