About
Photius Gabriel is interested in Small-scale (or artisanal) mining in Tanzania. For his thesis he will be exploring artisans knowledge of mining activities and the impacts on environment in Kahama, Mwanza, Tanzania.
Gabriel's curiosity behind this area emanates from the fact that, during the previous president’s regime, the government lessened the artinal mining restrictions including access to licences. This led to proliferation of artisans in Tanzania. He is disquietingly interested to understand how has this proliferation impacted the environment, artisanal communities' health, and access to health care.
