About
Dr. Debie LeBeau and her colleagues use anthropology for African development. Dr. LeBeau's work spans 16 years of living and working in southern Africa, particularly Namibia, while examining social development issues such as health, human rights, gender, HIV and AIDS. She is a medical anthropologist by training whose interests focus on perpetuating creative forms of knowledge through the application of anthropological theories and methods for development in post-colonial Africa. Dr. LeBeau has internationally authored 10 books, two internet books, and 11 chapters in books.
The Gender Training and Research Programme (GTRP) falls under the auspices of the Multidisciplinary Research and Consultancy Centre (MRCC) of the University of Namibia (UNAM). This program is aimed at addressing the need for institutionalized training and research on gender so as to lay the foundation for gender studies at the University of Namibia and to create gender awareness among Namibia's future generations.
