Catherine Baroin

Catherine Baroin is a social anthropologist, now retired from the CNRS (French National Centre for Scientific Reasearch). Her studies focus on two very different African societies: Saharan desert nomads and East-African mountain farmers. The first is the Tubu, who herd their animals in the Sahara and Sahel in a very broad area from Niger to Sudan, and from Libya to Lake Chad. She later studied the Rwa (or Wameru) in Tanzania, who farm on Mount Meru, facing Mount Kilimanjaro. She is also much involved in the international scientific network “Mega-Chad”, created in 1984.
