Professor Karin Barber

Professor of Cultural Anthropology, Centre of West African Studies, University of Birmingham

Year Elected: 2003

Her work in African literature and popular culture exemplifies the best kind of inter-disciplinary integration, grounded on an in-depth knowledge of Yoruba culture, language and texts. She may truly be said to have defined the scholarly study of popular culture in Africa.
