Within the scope of our interview series, scholar Dr Lotje de Vries talks about her research project funded by the Gerda Henkel Foundation. The latter deals with interactions between citizens and public authorities and how those sustain the everyday legitimacy of the state in Guinea Bissau and the Central African Republic. We asked her about the project itself but also the role of research trips and the project's contemporary relevance.
