Webinar with Lippuner Scholar Yadixa Del Valle

We are delighted to announce the Incomindios Lippuner Scholarship Webinar on Thursday 25 September at 7pm UK/8 pm CH.

This year’s scholar is Yadixa Del Valle, a Guna woman from Panama pursuing a Master’s in Sociocultural & Linguistic Anthropology at Western University (Ontario, Canada). Her talk, “Between voices and knowledge: exploring the Muu Igar (a traditional study on childbirth) in the experience of Guna women and traditional doctors,” presents research on Guna birthing chants to promote longevity, highlight women’s roles, and broaden the use of Traditional Ecological Knowledge.

The Incomindios-Lippuner Scholarship, in collaboration with the Universities of Kent and York and named in memory of Eva Lippuner, supports one Indigenous researcher from the Americas each year to advance studies in Indigenous rights and environmental justice.
