Results of a colloborative project with Namibian KhwePresented by Dr. Gertrud Boden
The Oswin Köhler Archive at the Goethe University Frankfurt houses the world’s largest collection of documents on the language and culture of the Indigenous Khwe people, most of whom live in Namibia’s Bwabwata National Park. The documents were compiled between 1959 and 1992 by Khwe sources and their scholar, the German Africanist Oswin Köhler. Over the past ten years, these materials have been further developed and adapted in collaboration with members of the Khwe community, resulting in a diverse range of resources designed to help younger generations of the Khwe learn their language and culture, and a database that accommodates Khwe concepts, voices, and norms. The collaborative process and its results will be presented by the responsible researcher, Dr. Gertrud Boden.
