Department of History event on Nov. 20, 2012: "Oral Narratives and the Legacy of Discrimination of Occupational Groups in Ethiopia"    

Dr. Federica de Sisto, Faculty of Social Science, University of Rome

Dr. de Sisto teaches social psychology at the University of Rome. She did her PhD at Trinity College in Ireland and has been doing conflict transformation research since 2004.

Much of de Sisto's work has looked at the Manjo of Ethiopia, hunters by tradition, who have been discriminated again over centuries. De Sisto discussed the forms this discrimination takes in some detail, concluding that there need to be cultural awareness involved in attempts to change relationships among groups.
